Bixie for Enterprise

The Runtime Where Enterprises
Deploy Operational Agents

Bixie enables organisations to deploy policy-bound operational agents that execute enterprise operations safely, autonomously, and reliably.

Agents run playbooks built from durable skills, allowing enterprises to automate complex operations across systems with full governance and auditability.

The Challenge

The Enterprise Automation Problem

Enterprises have invested heavily in APIs, SaaS platforms, and automation tools. Yet operational complexity continues to grow.

Even when APIs exist, teams must still build:

Orchestration logic
Retry mechanisms
Approval workflows
Compliance checks
Reconciliation processes
Monitoring and alerting

Every integration becomes a custom engineering project.

Traditional automation platforms attempt to solve this with workflows or RPA, but these approaches struggle with:

System failures
Long-running operations
Governance requirements
Operational visibility

Enterprises need more than automation.
They need a runtime for executing operations safely.

The Solution

Introducing Operational Agents

Bixie introduces a new operational model.

Instead of manually orchestrating APIs and systems, enterprises deploy operational agents that execute business operations using structured playbooks.

Agents combine:

  • Purpose-driven intelligence
  • Governed execution
  • Durable automation

This allows enterprises to move from manual orchestration to programmable operations.

How It Works

The Bixie Operational Model

Bixie is built on a simple and scalable model.

AgentsPlaybooksSkills

Agents

Agents represent purpose-driven operational intelligence that understands business context and coordinates complex multi-step operations.

Unlike simple automation scripts, agents can reason about operational intent, handle exceptions, and adapt to changing conditions while staying within policy bounds.

Each agent is scoped to a specific operational domain—finance, HR, treasury—ensuring deep expertise and appropriate access controls.

Agents orchestrate operations but do not execute system actions directly. All system interactions flow through governed skills.

Enterprise Agents:
HR Agent

Employee lifecycle, access management

Finance Agent

AP/AR, expense management, reporting

Treasury Agent

Payments, FX, liquidity management

Procurement Agent

Vendor management, PO processing

Procurement Agent

Vendor management, PO processing, contracts

Compliance Agent

Audit, reporting, policy enforcement

Playbooks

Playbooks define how operations are executed—the specific steps, conditions, and business logic for each operational procedure.

Think of playbooks as codified standard operating procedures. They capture institutional knowledge, ensure consistency, and enable operations to scale without manual intervention.

Playbooks support branching logic, approval gates, parallel execution, and error handling—everything needed for real-world enterprise operations.

Playbook capabilities:

  • Version controlled with full history
  • Policy enforcement at every step
  • Approval workflows built-in
  • Reusable across multiple agents
Example Playbooks by Domain:
HR Operations
• Employee Onboarding (12 steps, 3 systems)
• Access Provisioning (8 steps, 5 systems)
• Employee Offboarding (15 steps, 7 systems)
Finance Operations
• Invoice Processing (10 steps, 2 approvals)
• Expense Approval (6 steps, manager approval)
• Month-End Reconciliation (20 steps)
Treasury Operations
• Payment Execution (8 steps, dual approval)
• Liquidity Sweep (5 steps, automated)
• FX Hedging (12 steps, treasury approval)

Skills

Skills are atomic actions that interact with enterprise systems—the lowest level of operational execution.

Each skill encapsulates a single system interaction: creating a user in Okta, posting a journal entry in SAP, sending a Slack notification, or executing a bank transfer.

Skills are engineered to be:

  • Durable Survive infrastructure failures
  • Retry-safe Automatic retry with backoff
  • Idempotent Safe to re-execute
  • Policy-aware Respect governance rules
  • Fully observable Complete audit trail

Auto-Extract Skills from Your APIs

Point Bixie at your existing APIs (OpenAPI, GraphQL, or REST endpoints) and we automatically extract skills that agents can use. No manual skill development required.

Bixie also provides pre-built skills for common enterprise systems including SAP, Workday, Salesforce, and 100+ integrations.

Governance

Enterprise Governance by Design

Operational autonomy without governance is a liability. Bixie was built from the ground up with enterprise policy enforcement.

The policy engine sits between agents and execution, evaluating every action against your organizational rules before it happens—not after.

Policies govern:

  • Skill permissionsWhich agents can execute which system actions
  • Operational limitsTransaction caps, frequency limits, time windows
  • Approval workflowsMulti-party sign-off for sensitive operations
  • Data boundariesRole-based access to sensitive information
  • Compliance rulesSOX, GDPR, PCI-DSS, and custom requirements

Policies are versioned, testable, and auditable. Changes go through review before deployment, just like code.

Real-World Policy Examples:
Payment ThresholdsApproval
Payments over $10,000 require manager approval. Over $100,000 require CFO sign-off.
Data IsolationAccess Control
HR agents can only access employee data within their assigned business unit.
Treasury Dual ControlMulti-Party
Wire transfers require two independent approvers from the treasury team.
Compliance WindowTime-Based
Financial operations restricted to business hours during audit periods.
Vendor LimitsRisk Control
New vendor payments capped at $5,000 for the first 90 days.

Reliability

Durable Execution for Real-World Operations

Enterprise operations span multiple systems, require external approvals, and can take hours or days to complete. Traditional automation fails when any step breaks.

Bixie's durable execution runtime persists operational state at every step. When failures occur—and they will—operations resume exactly where they left off.

Enterprise-grade capabilities:

  • Automatic retriesConfigurable retry policies with exponential backoff
  • State persistenceEvery step checkpointed for recovery
  • Compensating actionsRollback partial operations cleanly
  • Idempotent executionSafe to re-run without side effects
  • Long-running orchestrationHandle operations spanning hours or days

If an API times out, a service goes down, or a network partition occurs, the runtime handles it automatically. No manual intervention required.

Operations complete reliably, consistently, every time.

Observability

Full Observability and Audit

Enterprise automation without visibility is a compliance risk. Bixie provides complete operational transparency for every agent action.

Every operation generates a detailed audit trail that captures the full execution context—from initial invocation through final completion or failure.

Comprehensive audit logs capture:

  • Identity contextWho or what triggered the operation
  • Execution pathPlaybooks, steps, and skills executed
  • Policy decisionsWhich rules were evaluated and outcomes
  • System interactionsEvery external API call and response
  • State transitionsRetries, recoveries, and compensations
  • Timing and performanceDuration, latency, and throughput metrics

Logs are immutable, searchable, and exportable to your SIEM or compliance systems.

Real-Time Monitoring

Live dashboards showing active operations, queue depths, execution rates, and system health across all deployed agents.

  • Active operation tracking
  • Performance metrics
  • Alert thresholds

Compliance Audit Trails

Immutable, tamper-evident logs that satisfy SOX, GDPR, PCI-DSS, and other regulatory requirements out of the box.

  • Regulatory reporting
  • Retention policies
  • Export to SIEM

Deep Debugging

Trace any operation from invocation to completion. Replay executions, inspect state, and understand exactly what happened.

  • Step-by-step replay
  • State inspection
  • Root cause analysis

Automation becomes observable infrastructure, not a black box.

Security

Identity and Access Control

Every agent operation executes within a secure identity context tied to the invoking user or system.

Bixie integrates with enterprise identity providers (Okta, Azure AD, Google Workspace) and enforces role-based access control at every level—from agent invocation to skill execution.

Principle of least privilege: Agents can only execute operations within the boundaries of the invoking identity's permissions. A manager invoking an HR agent cannot access data or perform actions beyond their organizational scope.

Identity-aware execution enables safe adoption of autonomous operations while maintaining the trust boundaries your organization already has in place.

Role-Based Access Examples:
Employee
Self-service operations

Submit expenses, request PTO, update profile

Manager
Team operations & approvals

Approve expenses, initiate hiring, access team reports

Finance
Financial operations

Process payments, reconcile accounts, generate reports

Treasury
High-value transactions

Execute wire transfers, manage liquidity, FX operations

Administrator
System configuration

Configure agents, manage policies, deploy updates

Lifecycle

Agent Lifecycle Management

Operational agents are enterprise assets that require the same rigor as production code. Bixie provides full lifecycle controls to ensure agents evolve safely.

Development teams build and test agents in isolated environments. Changes go through review, approval, and staged rollout before reaching production—just like your most critical software.

Enterprise lifecycle capabilities:

  • Semantic versioningTrack agent changes with clear version history
  • Environment promotionDev → Staging → Production with gates
  • Deployment approvalsRequired sign-offs before production changes
  • Canary deploymentsGradual rollout with automatic rollback
  • Instant rollbackRevert to any previous version in seconds

Automation evolves continuously while maintaining operational stability.

External Capabilities

Expose Operational Agents to Customers

Beyond internal automation, Bixie enables enterprises to expose operational agents externally as programmable services for partners, customers, and third-party platforms.

Instead of building complex API integrations, external parties simply invoke an agent. Bixie handles all orchestration, validation, policy enforcement, and execution internally.

Traditional Approach
Raw APIs & Manual Integration

Partners must understand your systems, handle error states, manage retries, and build their own orchestration logic.

POST /validate_account
POST /check_balance
POST /create_payment
POST /submit_payment
GET /payment_status

5+ API calls, custom error handling, manual retries

With Bixie
Operational Agents as Services

Partners invoke outcomes. Bixie handles all validation, approvals, orchestration, error recovery, and policy enforcement.

run_payment_agent (amount, beneficiary)

1 call. Full operational execution. Governed. Audited.

Use Cases for External Agents

Partner Integrations

Let partners trigger fulfillment, inventory, or logistics operations without deep system access.

Customer Self-Service

Enable customers to execute account changes, service requests, or complex transactions autonomously.

AI & LLM Platforms

Expose operational capabilities to AI assistants and LLM-powered applications via MCP.

Integration

Model Context Protocol (MCP)

Bixie natively supports Model Context Protocol (MCP)—the emerging standard for AI systems to interact with tools and services.

This enables LLMs, AI assistants, and agentic applications to invoke Bixie operational agents directly. Your enterprise operations become accessible to the next generation of AI-powered workflows.

When an MCP call comes in, Bixie handles everything: authentication, policy enforcement, playbook execution, error handling, and audit logging. The caller receives a clean success/failure response.

This enables enterprises to expose governed operational capabilities to AI systems—without exposing raw APIs or internal complexity.

Example MCP Invocation:
run_payment_agent
amount: 25000
currency: USD
beneficiary: SG_SUPPLIER
