- Kolossus connects to 200+ enterprise applications through secure, pre-built integrations
- AI agents execute multi-step workflows autonomously while respecting existing permissions
- The platform includes built-in governance, audit logging, and human-in-the-loop controls
Building AI agents that work reliably in enterprise environments requires more than just connecting to an LLM. You need secure integrations, robust execution, proper governance, and the ability to scale.
Kolossus was built from the ground up to address these requirements. Our platform handles the complex infrastructure so your team can focus on deploying AI agents that deliver real business value.
This article takes you inside the Kolossus platform, explaining how each component works together to enable enterprise AI automation.
Platform Architecture
The Kolossus platform consists of four main layers that work together to power AI agents:
Integration Layer Secure connections to your enterprise applications, databases, and services. This layer handles authentication, data synchronization, and API management.
Knowledge Layer Your enterprise data indexed and ready for AI access. Includes vector search, semantic understanding, and real-time updates.
Agent Runtime The execution engine where AI agents plan, reason, and take action. Handles orchestration, tool calling, and error recovery.
Governance Layer Controls, permissions, and audit capabilities that ensure AI operates within your policies.
Each layer is designed for enterprise requirements: high availability, security, and scale.
The Integration Layer
Connecting AI agents to enterprise systems is one of the biggest challenges in deployment. Kolossus solves this with pre-built, maintained integrations.
200+ Pre-Built Connectors
Our integration library includes:
- Productivity suites: Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, Slack, Zoom
- CRM systems: Salesforce, HubSpot, Dynamics 365
- HR platforms: Workday, BambooHR, Greenhouse
- Developer tools: GitHub, Jira, Confluence, Linear
- Data warehouses: Snowflake, BigQuery, Databricks
- Custom systems: REST APIs, databases, file systems
How Integrations Work
Each integration follows a consistent pattern:
- OAuth or API key authentication (your credentials stay encrypted)
- Real-time or scheduled data synchronization
- Granular permission scoping (agents only access what they need)
- Automatic token refresh and connection management
You connect once, and all your agents can use the integration based on their permissions.
Custom Integrations
For systems not in our library, Kolossus provides multiple options:
REST API Connector: Point to any API endpoint with authentication Database Connector: Direct connections to SQL and NoSQL databases Webhook Receiver: Accept events from external systems Custom Functions: Write code for specialized integrations
Our team also builds custom integrations for enterprise customers with unique requirements.
Agent Runtime Engine
The agent runtime is where AI reasoning meets real-world action. When you deploy an agent, the runtime handles everything from planning to execution.
How Agents Execute Tasks
- Goal Analysis: Agent receives a task and breaks it into steps
- Tool Selection: Determines which integrations and actions are needed
- Execution: Calls APIs, queries data, and performs actions
- Evaluation: Assesses results and decides next steps
- Completion: Returns results or escalates if needed
Built-in Reliability
Enterprise workflows need to be reliable. The runtime includes:
- Automatic retries for transient failures
- Timeout handling for long-running operations
- Error recovery with alternative approaches
- State persistence for workflows that span hours or days
- Graceful degradation when services are unavailable
Multi-Agent Orchestration
Complex workflows often require multiple specialized agents working together. Kolossus supports:
Sequential handoffs: One agent completes, another continues Parallel execution: Multiple agents work simultaneously Supervisor patterns: A coordinating agent manages specialists Human-in-the-loop: Agents pause for human input when needed
This flexibility lets you build sophisticated automation while keeping humans in control.
Security & Governance
Enterprise AI requires enterprise security. Kolossus is built with security at every layer.
Data Protection
- End-to-end encryption (AES-256 at rest, TLS 1.3 in transit)
- Data residency options (US, EU, custom regions)
- No training on your data (your information stays yours)
- Automatic PII detection and handling
Access Controls
- SSO integration with all major identity providers
- Role-based access control (RBAC) for agents and users
- Attribute-based policies for fine-grained permissions
- Agents inherit user permissions (no privilege escalation)
Audit & Compliance
- Complete audit log of all agent actions
- Data lineage tracking
- Compliance reporting for SOC 2, HIPAA, GDPR
- Retention policies aligned to your requirements
Governance Controls
- Approval workflows for sensitive actions
- Budget limits and usage quotas
- Content filtering and output controls
- Kill switches for immediate agent shutdown
Getting Started
Deploying your first Kolossus agent takes minutes, not months.
Step 1: Connect Your Systems Use our integration wizard to connect the applications your agents will use. Most integrations complete in under 5 minutes with OAuth.
Step 2: Choose or Build an Agent Start with a pre-built agent from our library, or use Agent Builder to create a custom agent for your specific workflow.
Step 3: Configure Permissions Define what the agent can access and what actions require approval. Start restrictive and expand as you build confidence.
Step 4: Deploy and Monitor Launch your agent and monitor its performance in the dashboard. Adjust prompts and configurations based on results.
Most customers have their first agent in production within a week.
