Kinaxis Launches Maestro Agents

Kinaxis Inc. announced Maestro Agents, AI-powered context-aware digital co-workers that help planners move faster from issue to action, turning disruption into opportunity, and strengthening the resilience of the supply chains that power the global economy.

“Today’s supply chains operate within an environment of constant volatility. Resilience and adaptability are no longer aspirational - they are mission-critical,” says Andrew Bell, chief product officer at Kinaxis. “Maestro Agents bring explainable AI into the moments that matter for supply chain leaders and practitioners. As our customers continue to coordinate across processes and grow an ecosystem of Kinaxis and partner-built agents, now they can unlock new levels of speed, resilience, and adaptability.”

Key takeaways:

·        Maestro Agents advance the customer journey from conversational AI to decision-based agentic supply chain orchestration. Unlike generic AI assistants that sit outside the process, Maestro Agents are embedded in live planning environments where they understand context, constraints, and trade-offs to plan with you, not for you.

·        Kinaxis will continue to expand the Maestro ecosystem with Maestro Agent Studio and an agent marketplace in 2026, guiding customers through a phased path to realize the full potential of AI-driven orchestration.

·        Maestro Agents turn analysis into action right inside the planning environment. For supply chain planners, they bring AI into daily work by analyzing live data, flagging issues, and recommending next-best actions directly within Maestro, helping planners move from problem to decision in seconds; synthesize and unpack real-world constraints by factoring in supplier capacity, inventory levels, production schedules, and customer priorities to deliver recommendations that are achievable and aligned with business goals; make AI explainable and trustworthy with human-in-the-loop guardrails and clear reasoning that show why each action is recommended; and free up time for higher-value work by automating reporting and routine analysis, enabling planners to focus on strategic decisions that improve performance and resilience and transforming how planners respond to disruption and make decisions in real time.
