AI Vocab
A system or program that is capable of autonomously performing tasks on behalf of a user or another system.
What is an AI agent?
These are the 4 core phases/offerings of IG Labs.
What is Design & Prototype, Build & Deploy Agents, Develop Agentic Workflows, and Deploy Agent Platforms?
This is the agentic factory that helps you launch, run, and govern agents at scale.
What is Helios?
The term "artificial intelligence" officially debuted at the Dartmouth Conference in this year.
What is 1956?
A customer says, “We have a ton of ideas for AI, but we don’t know where to start or which use cases will actually create value.” This IG Labs phase is the best place to start.
What is Design & Prototype?
This is a technique that let's AI retrieve relevant information from a company's own data before generating an answer.
What is RAG?
This phase includes mapping value chain and identifying highest ROI opportunities, a tech readiness assessment with gap analysis and recommendations, ROI business cases for top 3-5 use cases, and a prototype showing the end state.
What is Design & Prototype?
These are the 4 components of Helios.
What is Helios Context, Helios Registry, Helios Runtime, and Helios Govern.
The first chatbot, named ELIZA, was built in 1966 at MIT to mimic this profession.
What is a therapist?
A customer has identified a high-value use case and wants AI to perform one specific piece of work for one user role. This is the IG Labs offering to introduce.
What is Build & Deploy Agents?
This is a system that stores information in a way that allows AI to find content based on meaning and similarity, rather than just exact keywords.
What is Vector Database/Vector Store?
This is a technical engineer who works closely with the customer to turn a business problem into a working solution.
What is a Forward Deployment Engineer?
These 4 things can be stored in Helios Registry.
What are tools, skills, templates and agents?
A study by McKinsey suggested that by 2030, this percentage of current work hours in the US could be automated.
What is 30%?
A customer struggles with their data. It is scattered across SharePoint, Teams, Jira, PDFs, and other systems. Their agents struggle to find reliable information. This specific offering can help them.
What is Helios Context?
This is a standardized way for AI applications and agents to connect with external tools, systems and data sources.
What is MCP?
This is an operating manual for an AI solution once it moves beyond the build. It documents how the customer should run, monitor, govern, troubleshoot, and scale the agents/workflows going forward.
What is a runbook?
This is the process of turning a company's raw information into organized, searchable knowledge that AI can quickly find and use. This is done with Helios Context.
What is knowledge indexing?
In 1997, IBM's Deep Blue supercomputer beat world champion Garry Kasparov at this game.
What is chess?
You are selling Helios. A customer says, “We already use OpenAI models and have our own cloud, databases, and vector database, so we don’t want to rip and replace our tech stack.” This is the correct response.
What is Helios is tech agnostic and sits on top of your existing infrastructure?
This is the coordination of multiple agents, tools, models, data sources, and steps to complete an end-to-end workflow.
What is Agentic Orchestration?
IG Labs uses this principle to turn a successful client build into something that makes the next engagement faster and cheaper, rather than rebuilding the same tools, skills, and templates from scratch.
What is reuse?
This is essentially a security checkpoint around the agent while the agent is actually working. It helps prevent prompt injection and data leakage. It's part of Helios Govern.
What is Runtime Shield?
An AI-generated portrait called “Edmond de Belamy” sold in 2018 for this amount of money.
What is $432,500?
Your customer says that their team is already building agents using Copilot, and Copilot’s functionality is so great that they don’t need to outsource agent-builds. This is the posture to take when teams are building individual agents.
What is Copilot can be great for helping individuals become more productive. IG Labs is focused on transforming how the actual business workflow gets done.
