TLDR: Tulip, a leader in frontline operations, has launched its new Composable AI Agents at the Operations Calling 2025 conference. This agentic AI solution is designed to empower manufacturers by enabling the safe deployment of AI-powered agents that can detect issues and take meaningful action on the shop floor, addressing challenges like complexity, workforce shortages, and efficiency demands.
Boston, MA – October 13, 2025 – Tulip, a global leader in frontline operations, today announced the unveiling of its groundbreaking Composable AI Agents at its annual user conference, Operations Calling 2025. This new offering represents an industry-purpose-built agentic AI solution specifically tailored for frontline operations, aiming to revolutionize how manufacturers approach efficiency and problem-solving on the shop floor.
The Composable AI Agents are designed to empower manufacturers to safely deploy AI-powered agents that not only identify operational issues but also execute meaningful actions. This breakthrough technology directly addresses critical challenges faced by manufacturers worldwide, including increasing operational complexity, persistent workforce shortages, and the continuous pressure to enhance efficiency.
According to Tulip, these AI agents can assist manufacturers in a variety of ways, from enforcing stringent quality checks and dynamically rescheduling production tasks to generating essential validation documentation and automating rework processes. By acting as “digital lean teammates,” these agents are expected to help operations leaders significantly reduce costs, minimize downtime, and drive continuous transformation across their operations at scale.
A key differentiator of Tulip’s AI Agents is their full configurability. Teams have the flexibility to build custom agents using the intuitive Agent Builder or select from a library of pre-built options. This approach ensures that the deployed AI solutions are safe, auditable, and enterprise-ready for diverse operational environments. The agents are currently available in a closed beta program and are designed to evolve with each manufacturer’s unique processes while maintaining complete transparency into their logic and actions for validation and compliance purposes.
Mason Glidden, Chief Product and Engineering Officer at Tulip, emphasized the practical application of the technology, stating, “Manufacturers don’t need AI for AI’s sake—they need tools that can help them solve problems. With Composable AI Agents, companies can safely define roles, instructions, and actions—giving them confidence to solve a new class of problems across operations.”
The announcement was a highlight of the third annual Operations Calling conference, which marked its largest gathering to date. The sold-out event attracted over 700 attendees and featured 41 partner companies, solidifying its position as a premier assembly for operations leaders. The conference program included visionary keynotes, interactive AI training sessions, and compelling case studies from prominent global manufacturers such as AstraZeneca, Eli Lilly, Stanley Black & Decker, and DMG Mori.

In addition to the Composable AI Agents, the event also showcased the ‘Future of Authoring’ display, an evolution of Tulip’s recently released ‘AI Composer’ feature. This innovation demonstrates the platform’s ability to build ready-to-use guided work instruction apps using only a freshly-recorded video as input, further streamlining documentation and training processes.
