Tool-Using Agents are intelligent AI systems that, in addition to reasoning and planning, have the capability to call external tools, APIs, or services to perform tasks. Rather than being limited to what’s inside their model, these agents can orchestrate workflows, fetch data, execute commands, or interact with systems to achieve goals.

Xebia helps organizations design, deploy, and govern Tool-Using Agents that safely combine natural language understanding, memory, and tool execution. These agents bridge the gap between AI and enterprise systems, enabling automated, context-aware interactions with real business systems.
