Writer unveils Action Agent, an autonomous AI super agent designed for enterprise users to automate complex workflows with transparency and control.
Writer Releases Autonomous AI âSuper Agentâ for Enterprise Users
Generative artificial intelligence startup Writer Inc. announced the launch of Action Agent, a powerful AI agent that combines tool integration, knowledge work, and deep research capabilities with enterprise-grade control and transparency. âOther AI chatbots can tell you what to do. Action Agent does it,â said co-founder and CEO May Habib. âItâs the difference between getting a research report and having your entire sales pipeline updated and acted upon.â Powered by Writerâs flagship adaptive reasoning large language model, Palmyra X5, released earlier this year, Action Agent can execute a wide range of tasks requiring problem solving, complex reasoning, and multi-tool use. Each session runs in an isolated virtual computer environment with specialized enterprise-grade security and access controls. âTo build an agent capable of true autonomy, we had to rethink the entire operational paradigm,â said Chief Technology Officer Waseem AlShikh in a blog post.Autonomous AI Agents and Their Capabilities
AI agents represent a growing trend in the AI industry toward autonomous tools that do more than respond to user queries. These agents methodically complete complex goals by breaking them down into step-by-step tasks. Action Agent begins each task by writing its own scripts and tool calls, then executes them. It reflects on the outcomesâwhether successful or failedâand refines its approach if needed. This self-correcting ability allows it to retry or adjust if commands fail, APIs return errors, or web pages donât load correctly. The agent can perform a broad variety of tasks, including:- Web interactions such as scraping data, clicking buttons, and extracting information
- Processing structured and unstructured data to perform complex calculations and generate visualizations like charts and graphs
- File system operations for developers, including creating, reading, writing, and deleting files
- Writing, testing, and debugging code in multiple programming languages

Enterprise-Grade Integration and Security
Action Agent features over 600 connectors to tools, enabling secure processing of information from 80 different enterprise and third-party data platforms, including PitchBook and FactSet. Through a Model Context Protocol gateway, these connectors allow the agent not only to read data but also to write, update, trigger workflows, or communicate with other AI agents. For example, a user could instruct the agent to run a product analysis. Action Agent would then research, analyze customer reviews from across the web, perform sentiment analysis, identify recurring themes, and generate a presentation with findings. If any step fails, it backtracks and formulates a plan to fix the issue. Once the report is generated, users can query the agent to ask questions, reformat, or update the report with additional information. The final report can be downloaded for manual editing or presentation. Writer also provides an agent supervision dashboard that offers administrators, users, and developers full visibility and control over how agents access knowledge and tools. IT teams have fine-grained oversight over configurations and access control, ensuring enterprise-level security. âThe companies that win wonât just adopt AI. Theyâll restructure themselves around it,â said Habib. âAction Agent is more than a feature. Itâs a new pillar in the foundation of our platform, helping our customers achieve the business transformation required to succeed in this new era.âSource: Writer releases autonomous AI âsuper agentâ for enterprise users on July 29, 2025
