107 AI Agent Buddies are now live, with 608 in the catalogue
We promoted 80 new buddies after automated testing, and mapped 608 retail use cases across 31 business functions and every major retail segment.
Every buddy on ServiceBuddy goes live only after it passes automated checks on real retail data: it must use its tools, answer every sample question fully and respond quickly. This month 80 more buddies passed, bringing the total to 107 live AI Agent Buddies.
