AIInfor is building industry-specific AI agents on its Infor OS foundation and open architecture, according to CEO Kevin Samuelson. Infor says two in three businesses find off-the-shelf AI does not adequately address their industry's needs. The company pairs customers with forward-deployed engineers, and Samuelson says prototypes can now take one to three weeks.

AIInfor is developing industry-specific AI agents for industrial manufacturing, aerospace and defense, automotive, and food and beverage, built on its existing industry applications. Suresh Jayaraman, Infor's senior vice president of product management and development, said generic agents often fail to give deterministic answers and produce hallucinations. Infor's 2026.10 release adds guardrails through security and scopes, while agents still need human approval to move orders between customers.

AIContact center success is shifting from call speed and deflection toward resolution, with experts arguing that AI agents should be measured by "conversation to completion." Speakers at theCUBE's coverage said AI can handle high-volume, low-stakes calls while humans take complex issues, and that context must carry across AI-to-human handoffs.

AIAston Martin CIO Steve O'Connor says the carmaker applies AI to back-end operations, such as configure-price-quote, and screens each idea first for profit-and-loss impact and efficiency gains. He said AI agents will never appear on the front end of its website because customers do not want that experience. Infor's CloudSuite Automotive tool delivers new features almost as soon as they are released, according to O'Connor.

AIOpenAI has published 722 math papers generated by an unreleased AI model, posted to GitHub, spanning about 20 mathematical subfields.
