Kinaxis Launches Maestro Agents: AI Co-Workers That Plan With You to Build Adaptive, Resilient Supply Chains
Kinaxis has unveiled Maestro Agents, a new generation of AI-powered tools designed to transform supply chain orchestration by enabling intelligent, context-aware collaboration between humans and AI. The launch marks a pivotal step in the company’s mission to deliver decision intelligence that empowers supply chain professionals to act faster, smarter, and more resiliently in an era of constant disruption. Maestro Agents are not standalone chatbots or external assistants. Instead, they are deeply embedded within Kinaxis Maestro, the company’s AI-infused supply chain platform, operating in real-time planning environments. This integration allows the agents to understand business context, constraints, and trade-offs—enabling them to plan with users, not just for them. By combining AI with human oversight, these digital co-workers help planners move swiftly from identifying issues to taking action, turning challenges into opportunities. John Finnigan, Senior Director of Advanced Planning at Jabil, shared early success with the technology: “Kinaxis agents are already helping our planning team collaborate more effectively with customers and contract manufacturers. With human-in-the-loop safeguards, we’re reaching decisions faster and see strong potential to build a more resilient and networked supply chain.” Andrew Bell, Chief Product Officer at Kinaxis, emphasized the strategic shift: “Today’s supply chains face relentless volatility. Resilience and adaptability are no longer optional—they’re essential. Maestro Agents bring explainable AI into the critical moments where decisions are made, empowering teams to act with confidence and speed.” The platform’s capabilities are already delivering measurable value. Early adopters report significant reductions in manual effort—cutting hours of repetitive work—and increased confidence in decision-making. According to Eric Thompson, Research Director at IDC, “Flexibility and guardrails are essential for organizations to trust and scale AI. Maestro Agents demonstrate what practical, explainable AI looks like in enterprise operations—embedded directly into live planning workflows so companies can test, learn, and grow safely.” Maestro Agents are now available to Kinaxis customers. The company is also expanding its ecosystem with Maestro Agent Studio, currently in limited availability, and plans to launch an agent marketplace in 2026. This phased approach allows organizations to gradually adopt and customize AI agents tailored to their unique supply chain needs. Built on the foundation of Kinaxis Maestro’s transparency and agility, Maestro Agents represent a leap forward in supply chain intelligence—where human expertise and AI work in harmony to create adaptive, responsive, and future-ready networks.
