Agentic Search

​

What Is a Knowledge Agent?

For us, the best definition is simple but powerful:

A Knowledge Agent is a model that uses multiple tools in a loop to perform a complex task.

Instead of just answering a single question, an agent can tackle multi-step problems that require accessing different information sources or performing several actions to reach a conclusion.

​

The Key Difference: Dynamic vs. Fixed Workflows

The true power of an agent lies in its autonomy. This is what separates it from a simple, fixed workflow.

• A fixed search and workflow: Currently, even our high-precision search cannot handle multi-step searches as well as dealing with missing information or questions for which little information is available.
• A knowledge agent with our agentic search: Independently decides which tools to use, in what order, and how to combine their outputs. Based on the task, it might use Step 2, then Step 3, and then return to Step 1 to refine its findings. This enables much more complex insights and processes. At the same time, the search plan can be readjusted if needed.

Core Principles of Our Agents

We build our Knowledge Agents with two critical principles in mind to make them reliable and trustworthy for enterprise use. 1. Human-in-the-Loop: Our agents are designed to know what they don’t know. If an agent encounters a high degree of uncertainty or lacks critical information to proceed, it will automatically pause and involve a human expert. This ensures that key decisions can be validated and knowledge gaps can be filled by the people with the right expertise. 2. Transparent Reasoning: When a Knowledge Agent performs deep research on internal company knowledge—for example, in sales, HR, service, legal, or finance—you can see its work. This feature allows users to follow the agent’s reasoning process step-by-step. This transparency is crucial for:

• Building Trust: You can see exactly how the agent arrived at its conclusion.
• Enabling Intervention: Human experts can monitor and, if necessary, intervene in complex knowledge workflows in their specialized domains.

Why We Are “Agents-First”

Even though the Genow platform on it’s current stage already provides high value and higher efficiency to your teams, fixed workflows are sometimes limiting when it comes to complex processes. That’s why we focus on an Agents-First strategy. We build specialized, context-aware Knowledge Agents for your most important use cases. By providing them with the right context and a versatile set of tools, we enable them to deliver the accurate answers and complex insights your business needs.
