Tray.ai, a leading innovator in AI-ready composable integration platforms, has announced the acquisition of Vanti, a pioneer in knowledge modeling technology. This move positions Tray.ai at the forefront of autonomic AI agent development, setting new standards for adaptability and real-time optimization in enterprise AI solutions.
Vanti, recognized across 10 Gartner Hype Cycles for advancements in adaptive machine learning, autonomic systems, and generative AI in manufacturing, brings unparalleled expertise in knowledge modeling. By integrating Vanti’s technology, Tray.ai strengthens the core of its Merlin Agent Builder, accelerating the creation of AI agents that can deeply understand business contexts, automatically structure complex domain knowledge, and dynamically adapt to evolving business conditions.
“This acquisition represents a major leap forward in enterprise AI,”
said Rich Waldron, co-founder and CEO of Tray.ai.
“Vanti’s knowledge modeling capabilities, combined with our AI-ready iPaaS, bring us closer to AI agents that not only execute tasks but continuously refine their reasoning and decision-making through structured knowledge and real-time data processing. Enterprises can now deploy agents with confidence, knowing they are built for adaptability, security, and long-term performance.”
Advancing AI Agents with Continuous Learning and Adaptation
As enterprises increasingly integrate AI agents into their workflows, the challenge remains in their ability to continuously adjust and improve. Traditional AI solutions often lack the flexibility needed to keep pace with rapidly changing business environments. According to Gartner, “Autonomic systems are emerging as an important trend as they enable levels of business adaptability, flexibility, and agility that can’t be achieved with traditional AI techniques alone.”
Smadar David, co-founder and CEO of Vanti, emphasized the significance of this integration:
“How AI agents ingest and organize knowledge determines their success. Our focus has always been on helping AI understand and apply knowledge more effectively. By joining Tray.ai, we are enabling the next evolution of AI agents—ones that can rapidly adapt to business conditions and improve overall performance.”
Unlocking New Capabilities for Enterprises
With the integration of Vanti’s technology, enterprises using Tray.ai’s Merlin Agent Builder can leverage:
- Autonomic AI capabilities – Agents that refine decision-making based on evolving data.
- Advanced knowledge use – Improved reasoning and action through structured knowledge ingestion.
- Faster adaptation – AI agents that quickly understand and operate within specialized business environments.
These advancements enable enterprises to build more adaptive AI agents that operate on the latest information, benefiting customer support, IT service management, sales, and marketing operations. For example, AI-driven customer support agents can refine responses and escalate issues based on evolving interactions, while sales and marketing agents dynamically adjust messaging based on customer behavior insights.
Enterprises leveraging Tray.ai’s AI technology are already experiencing tangible benefits. Notion’s Head of Business Technology, Jalal Iftikhar, commented,
“To build AI agents that really work, you need the right mix of knowledge, guardrails, and tools so they can reason and take action effectively. That’s why I’m excited about Tray.ai and Vanti teaming up—it strengthens their ability to ingest and model knowledge, helping us use agents to solve real business challenges.”
With this strategic acquisition, Tray.ai is accelerating the development of autonomous AI agents that can manage end-to-end business workflows, adapt across departments, and seamlessly integrate with enterprise systems. This marks a significant step toward the future of enterprise AI, where agents continuously learn, adapt, and optimize operations in real time.
