Hello, I'm Susan, agentic AI product manager here at Booz Allen. The way organizations build with AI is changing. We've moved beyond chatbots and single-prompt tools into something fundamentally more powerful: agentic AI – systems that can plan a sequence of steps, coordinate across tools and data sources, take actions, and deliver real outcomes. Building production-ready agentic systems is challenging. Most projects start as prototypes but don't address essential concerns like security, observability, authentication, interoperability, or maintainability. With rapid changes in AI frameworks and protocols, teams struggle to scale experiments into robust systems, often duplicating foundational work and keeping knowledge siloed. This leads to impressive demos that never reach production, fragmented development, wasted engineering effort,  and mission-critical projects stuck as prototypes. While the industry continues to advance. Agent Foundry changes that. It is a production-focused foundation for building agentic systems, with flexible software baselines and packages that tackle the repeatable, complex aspects of building agents: authentication, secure agent-to-agent communication,  memory, workflow orchestration, observability, and domain-specific evaluation. They are the foundational problems every team runs into when moving agents from prototype to production. Teams use only the components they need – whether they’re building a single agent or an enterprise-scale multiagent system. Agent Foundry is fully framework-agnostic. It works with any AI model provider,  any orchestration tool, and any mission context. The result is that engineering teams stay focused on applying their domain expertise –  on the mission-specific logic that only they can provide – rather than rebuilding the shared production foundations every agentic system needs. Development time drops from months to weeks, and solutions are designed for production from day one: reliable, scalable, and secure from the start, not hardened after the fact. Engineers can quickly get started by installing Foundry packages, forking a framework adapter, and building out the domain-specific intelligence that makes their agents valuable. The packages include dependency injection, agent-to-agent protocol, or A2A,  Model Context Protocol, or MCP, YAML-driven configuration management, and durable workflow orchestration from day one. Agent Foundry's ecosystem also provides AI coding assistant plugins for accelerated development workflows, including the DevKit for spec-driven development, AoAKit for conducting structured analysis of alternatives, and the STIGKit for automated security compliance reviews. Here's what Agent Foundry looks like when it's applied to real missions. In defense, Agent Foundry powers battle management plan monitoring. Multiple agents coordinate to track  operational conditions,  assess plan viability against changing circumstances, and surface real-time recommendations to commanders –  with human approval gates at every consequential decision point. For intelligence missions,  Agent Foundry enables agents that investigate potential insider threats –  gathering evidence from approved sources,  identifying behavioral patterns across multiple data streams, and assembling structured reports for human analysts to review. The system surfaces the evidence. The human analyst makes the determination. And in IT operations, multiple specialized agents collaborate to triage incidents end-to-end – contextualizing alerts against system history, investigating root causes,  prioritizing response actions,  and recommending and addressing remediation steps. End-to-end resolution time drops from hours to minutes, and human engineers can handle significantly more incidents without adding headcount. Three different missions. The same reusable foundation. Agent Foundry is proven and actively deployed  across defense, intelligence, and civilian mission spaces. The same components, adapted to each mission’s unique requirements. Whether you're building your first agentic system or scaling across an enterprise, Agent Foundry gets you to production faster – with the security, resilience, and scalability that your mission demands. Let's build.
