BUILD AGENTIC APPLICATIONS

The Enterprise Framework for Cross-System Agentic Process Automation (APA)

Build purpose-built agentic applications with AI-assisted development. Connect agents to enterprise context, knowledge and business systems — define workflows, decisions and user interactions in one application blueprint, then build, validate and deploy.

THE ANATOMY

More than an agent. A complete application.

An agentic application combines enterprise context, agents and their tools, orchestrated workflows, human decisions and a real interface — governed and traceable end to end. Select each part to see where it sits.

Business entities, relationships and source material the application understands — Supplier, Product and Specification, assembled from documents and systems.

AI-ASSISTED DEVELOPMENT

Describe the application. Build with AI. Keep control.

Developers describe the application, work with a coding agent and review the resulting design before iterating on the working software. Orcaworks provides the development framework and the enterprise execution underneath.
Describe the application

“Build an application that reads supplier specifications, identifies missing information and lets Product Managers approve catalogue updates.”

A coding agent drafts the design — a human approves it before anything is built.

AGENTIC BLUEPRINT AS CODE

One blueprint. The whole application.

The application blueprint captures the definition of the application across four dimensions — what it understands, what it does, where people meet it and what it is allowed to do.

What the application understands.

Business entities, relationships, data sources and documents — Supplier, Product and Specification for this application.

THE AGENT APP DEV PROCESS

From application idea to working software.

A structured, AI-assisted development process takes an application from its initial requirements through implementation, validation and installation — with a human review gate at every phase, so a coding agent accelerates the work while developers keep control.
01DESCRIBE

Understand the application before building it.

Capture the application story, source material, users, business context and expected outcomes. Nothing is designed until the requirements are understood.

application_story.md · overview.md

Human confirms the story is complete

02PLAN

Design the application before generating it.

Draft the overview and implementation notes — the context profile, agent workflows, connectors and workspace concept — then a concrete build order. The design is approved before any code exists.

implementation_notes.md

Human approves the high-level design

03BUILD

Build the blueprint into application components.

AI-assisted development creates the context profile, agent flows, application activities, mock data and workspace. Every artifact is generated, validated and committed.

Validated fixtures · context · flows · workspace

Human reviews the workspace concept

04VALIDATE & ITERATE

Run the application on mock data first.

Install the application, load mock data and exercise the workspace end to end. Each iteration round is reviewed with a human — real enterprise connectors come later.

Working workspace · mock data

Human reviews every iteration round

05CONNECT & DEPLOY

Connect the enterprise and sign off.

Wire the external connectors, validate the application end to end against real systems and complete the final approval. The application is installed into the Orcaworks environment.

ENTERPRISE EXECUTION

Built quickly. Designed to operate.

Orcaworks provides what sits beyond the generated code — governed enterprise context, reusable activities and integrations, agent workflow execution, permissions, human approval and full execution traceability.

SHARED FOUNDATIONS

Start with one application. Build on shared context.

Small, specialised applications can share enterprise context, integrations and governance — reuse the foundations without giving up application boundaries.
