Ketryx, an AI-powered life sciences company, has launched what it says are the first AI agents to automate compliance processes in regulated industries.

Described as “validated” agents, the new system is designed to assist businesses in closely controlled environments such as life sciences and medical devices, promising to resolve regulatory conflicts in the process of product design and development.

Erez Kaminski, Ketryx’s CEO, told AI Business the agents differ from other AI tools on the market because they “operate within the complete context” of a businesses’ system.

“Ketryx is configured according to a company’s quality management system and processes…so each agent cannot take action outside of an organization-specific, deterministic ruleset,” Kaminski said.“Ketryx also connects to the systems that teams are using to do their work, like Jira or GitHub, giving agents a 360-degree view of requirements, code, risks and tests; this lets them spot traceability gaps or conflicting items that point solutions can’t see.”

Kaminski said the agents work to reduce costs and human fatigue by automating admin tasks such as data analysis and document creation. He said the validated agents also respond to industry pain points, such as cybersecurity threats and the need for time to act on complaints.
