Artificial Intelligence (AI) Agents are emerging as the new digital workforce in business operations, with the ability to automate complex tasks and significantly improve productivity. However, individual Agents are limited in their capabilities, and their true potential lies in their collaborative work. When different AI Agents are able to collaborate, they can work together to solve more complex problems, resulting in greater business impact. To help organizations more quickly leverage this collaborative potential, NVIDIA recently released the AI-Q
A new NVIDIA Blueprint to help develop Agentic Systems that use reasoning to unlock knowledge of enterprise data.
The challenge for many organizations today is that AI Agents work in silos, creating "silos of intelligence". This limits their ability to handle complex cross-domain, multi-step tasks.AI-Q
The Blueprint was launched to break down these barriers and provide a clear reference architecture for building a digital workforce that can work together.
NVIDIA AI-Q and AgentIQ Toolkit: Building Smarter Collaborative Agent Systems
AI-Q
is not a single piece of software, but rather a reference implementation that integrates NVIDIA Accelerated Computing, partner storage platforms, and related software tools. It clarifies how to integrate these components, specifically introducing the new NVIDIA Llama Nemotron
reasoning models that excel at performing complex analysis and multi-step reasoning. This is accomplished through the AI-Q
In addition, organizations can build digital workforces that are capable of handling high complexity tasks with high accuracy and speed.
The core strength of the blueprint is the integration of fast multimodal data extraction and world-class retrieval capabilities thanks to NVIDIA's NeMo Retriever
NVIDIA NIM
Collaboration between microservices and the AI Agent itself. For example, in an AI research assistant application scenario based on the AI-Q
The built Agent generates the report when it generates the token It is claimed to be up to 5x faster and 15x faster at processing petabytes of data, while maintaining high semantic accuracy. This demonstrates the potential of the architecture to process large-scale information and accelerate knowledge extraction.

The key software component of the blueprint is the newly released NVIDIA AgentIQ
Toolkit.AgentIQ
is an open source software library that has been GitHub
The core goal is to enable seamless, heterogeneous connectivity between different Agents, tools, and data. It enables developers to connect, analyze (Profiling) and optimize teams of AI Agents driven by enterprise data to build out end-to-end multi-agent systems. Developers can integrate into existing multi-agent systems in part or in whole, and the integration process is designed to be completely optional.
AgentIQ
Another important feature of the toolkit is the enhanced transparency of the system. It provides complete system traceability and performance analytics, enabling organizations to monitor the performance of Agent teams, identify efficiency bottlenecks, and gain a granular understanding of how business intelligence is generated. These analytics can be combined with NVIDIA NIM
and NVIDIA Dynamo
The open source nature of AgentIQ also means that the broader developer community can participate in contributing to accelerating its development and application implementation, lowering the barriers to adoption and customization by enterprises.
Empowering New Businesses AI Agent Workforce
As AI Agents take on the role of 'digital employees', IT teams need to support their 'onboarding' and 'training'.AI-Q
Blueprint and AgentIQ
Toolkits support this by facilitating collaboration between Agents and optimizing performance across different intelligence frameworks.
Organizations adopting these tools will be able to more easily connect teams of AI Agents across solutions, such as connecting Salesforce

Key NVIDIA technologies used in the blueprint include Llama Nemotron
A series of inference models (e.g. llama-3.3-nemotron-49b-instruct

Constructing an architecture based on AI-Q
The AI system needs to be supported by a robust AI data platform. nVIDIA's storage partners are delivering customized platforms that continuously process data and give AI Agents fast access to the knowledge they need to reason and respond to complex queries.

Blueprint and AgentIQ
The release of the toolkit marks the evolution of enterprise AI applications from single intelligences to networks of collaborative intelligences. While there are still challenges in building and managing complex teams of Agents, such as ensuring the reliability, security and controllability of collaboration, this direction certainly opens up new imaginative possibilities for enterprise automation and intelligence.
