These industry agents, codified with business workflows and industry expertise, will accelerate the deployment of specialized, multi-agent networks ready to be customized with an organization's data. Powered by Accenture AI Refinery—which is built with NVIDIA AI Enterprise software, including NVIDIA NeMo, NVIDIA NIM microservices and NVIDIA AI Blueprints, including Video Search and Summarization and Digital Human—these industry solutions can reduce the time to build and derive value from agents from months or weeks to days.
"The launch of AI Refinery for Industry represents an expansion of the platform and our collaboration with NVIDIA—which helps clients convert raw AI technologies and tools into scaled enterprise AI systems—providing a foundation to accelerate agentic functionality and reimagine functions and industry processes," said Lan Guan, chief AI officer, Accenture. "Our new industry agent solutions will empower organizations to conceptualize agents and quickly prove their value, hitting the ground running on day one as a network of digital teammates."
Justin Boitano, vice president of enterprise AI software products, NVIDIA, added, "Agentic AI is the next wave of artificial intelligence, providing enterprises everywhere with the ability to supercharge productivity with agents that can solve complex, multi-step problems. Built on the full NVIDIA AI software stack, Accenture's AI Refinery for Industry democratizes access to advanced AI capabilities so that businesses can rapidly implement custom AI agents that drive efficiency and foster unprecedented innovation."
With plans to expand to more than 100 AI Refinery for Industry agent solutions by the end of the year, the first 12 will be available by the end of next month. They aim to address critical industry challenges such as:
- Revenue Growth Management for Consumer Goods and Services: Revenue growth managers and account leads can be empowered to make informed decisions and respond faster to market changes using an orchestrated agent system. Agents automate key decision processes related to promotional activities to maximize revenue across product lines and markets, directly contributing to top-line growth.
- Clinical Trial Companion for Life Sciences: As a clinical trial companion, AI agents can work with patients and clinicians to personalize trial plans, outline tasks and requirements from start to finish and provide guidance and motivation throughout a patient's clinical trial journey. AI agents can be trained to answer trial-specific questions in real-time, offering clarity, support and a seamless experience, while reducing participant drop-out rates and driving greater success and value in clinical trials.
- Asset Troubleshooting for Industrial: Using advanced multi-agent systems, engineers and operators can be empowered to swiftly troubleshoot or resolve industrial equipment issues. By integrating real-time data, signal correlation, automated inspections, and actionable recommendations, this system can help to maintain operational excellence by reducing downtime, enhancing decision-making, and transitioning autonomous maintenance from reactive to proactive.
- B2B Marketing: AI agents will provide strategic insights, automate workflows, and enhance decision-making, helping marketers deliver faster, smarter and more consistent campaigns. Agents centralize cultural, client, competitor and company data to craft relevant marketing strategies, and provide insights on program performance, sales growth opportunities and future planning optimization.
Accenture AI Refinery for Industry is available on all public and private cloud platforms and will integrate seamlessly with other Accenture Business Groups to accelerate AI across the SaaS and Cloud AI ecosystem.
Today's announcement expands the impact of the Accenture NVIDIA Business Group and its collaboration with NVIDIA to bring AI to the world's enterprises.
