Enterprise Agent — IBM Research

CUGA
Enterprise Agent

An open-source generalist agent framework from IBM Research, purpose-built for enterprise automation. CUGA combines ReAct, CodeAct, and Planner-Executor patterns into a modular architecture enabling trustworthy, policy-aware, and composable automation across web interfaces, APIs, and enterprise systems.

Core Capabilities

Three powerful patterns working together for enterprise-grade automation.

ReAct Pattern

Reasoning and Acting - combines thought processes with actions for complex decision-making in enterprise workflows.

CodeAct Pattern

Generates and executes code autonomously to accomplish tasks, enabling direct system integration and automation.

Planner-Executor

Hierarchical planning with separate execution agents for scalable, multi-step enterprise processes.

Policy-Aware

Built-in policy enforcement ensures all actions comply with enterprise security and governance requirements.

Trustworthy

Verifiable actions with audit trails. Every decision and execution is logged for compliance and accountability.

Composable

Modular architecture allows combining different agents and patterns for custom enterprise solutions.

Enterprise Use Cases
