No Coding Knowledge Necessary

Build with an intuitive, no-code design surface. Drag, drop, prompt, test, publish. Plant managers, CI leads, training specialists, and IT can all build agents together. No need for costly consulting or software projects.

Grounded in Your Connected Worker Platform

Every AI agent you build is grounded in your Poka system of record including your work instructions, troubleshooting guides, endorsements, deviations, and historical execution data. Answers are source-backed. Actions are traceable.

Automatic Compliance, Governed by Default

With role-based access, approval gates and audit trails, every agentic action lands inside the same secure enterprise guardrails Poka already meets. SOC 2, GDPR, IEC, IT/OT, 99.9%+ uptime. That’s innovation that compliance can sign off on!

Go From Idea to Agent on the Floor in 4 Easy Steps

Learn how the Poka AI Studio works, step-by-step.

1. Define

Start with the work that needs help, like a recurring problem. For example: A handoff that breaks, or a question the floor keeps asking.

Describe the agent's job in plain language. Pick the data it should ground in. Choose the systems it can reach.

2. Design

Configure behavior with its easy-to-use, operator-centric, no-code tools. Include what the agent knows, what it can do, what it needs human approval for, and what it must never do.

Map it to roles, sites, languages, and shifts.

3. Govern

Set the guardrails before you go live. This includes: permissions., approval gates, escalation paths, audit logging, and data residency.

Every action the agent takes is enterprise-traceable from day one.

4. Deploy and Refine

We recommend piloting your agent at one site to start. Measure its outcomes against your KPIs.

Then, finetune the agent and expand to the next site, next role, or next process. Agents get smarter as your network grows.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do we need data scientists to build agents in Poka AI Studio?

No, you don't need data scientists to build agents in AI Studio. It's a no-code tool designed for plant managers, CI leads, L&D specialists, and IT to work together in one place. Data scientists are welcome, but never required.

How do Poka’s agents stay grounded in a plant’s data, not the open internet?

Agents only pull from your Poka system of record. That includes your work instructions, troubleshooting guides, endorsements, and execution history. Every answer is source-backed and traceable, so you can see exactly where it came from. Agents never reach outside the data you authorize.

Can Poka’s agents trigger actions in our ERP, MES, CMMS, or QMS?

Yes. AI Studio connects to the enterprise systems Poka already integrates with, including ERP, MES, CMMS, and QMS. You can set any action to require operator or supervisor approval before it runs, and every step is logged in a full audit trail.

How are Poka’s agents governed?

Governance is built in by default. AI Studio includes role-based permissions, approval gates, audit logging, source-backed responses, and data residency controls. It also inherits Poka's existing SOC 2, GDPR, and IEC compliance, so you don't need to add governance later.

How is Poka AI Studio different from other vendors' agent studios?

Poka grounds agents in 12 years of connected worker data across 3,000+ deployments. Agents run inside the same app your frontline already uses, not a separate AR layer or assistant. Poka also ties agent outcomes to KPIs like productivity, quality, safety, and retention.

Can we share Poka agents across sites?

Yes. Build an agent once, then deploy it to a single site, a region, or your entire network. You can localize each agent by language and role, then refine it based on real outcomes.

How long until a first Poka agent is in production?

Within days. Most customers launch their first agent during a two-week pilot, then expand from there.
