Q3 Release Review

From Question to Execution: Meet Your Ardoq AI Workforce

This quarter, hours of manual architecture work got a lot shorter. The Ardoq AI Assistant no longer just answers questions, it picks up the work itself: pulling in live context from the web, creating adhoc charts and diagrams for decks, processing documents, giving recommendations and showing exactly how it got there. Plus our eight new Architecture Agents take on real EA tasks, and turning insight into action faster with less manual work in between.

A Dramatically Smarter Ardoq AI Assistant

Say Hello to Your New AI Teammate

The Ardoq AI Assistant now brings in live external information from the web, generates data visualization outputs on demand, and shows exactly how it got there.

Transparent, Traceable Reasoning Behind Every Answer

Watch the AI Assistant's reasoning happen live, and trace any answer back to its source in one click. Every step it takes and every piece of data behind it is visible, so you can verify an answer instead of taking it on faith.

Access to a Wider Context Beyond Your Architecture

The AI Assistant now reasons across more than your architecture data. Attach a contract or other document and ask questions about it right in the chat, or ask something that spans the whole business. The Assistant can also query your ShiftX process data directly in the same conversation.

Answers Grounded in What's Happening Now

Architecture models go stale fast. Vendors get acquired, regulations shift, tech changes. Now the AI Assistant can check the live web without you ever leaving Ardoq, and cites its source for every fact. Web search is off by default and opt-in per conversation, so you're always the one deciding when it's used.

Presentation-Ready Charts and Insights

Turning an answer into something you can share used to mean rebuilding it from scratch. Now you can export any response straight to PDF, export a chart to an image file on demand, or describe a process and get an instant flow-chart of it. No more starting over to make your insight stakeholder-ready.

EA Expertise, On-Demand

Meet Your New Architecture Agents

Answering questions was the easy part. These new agents take on the work itself.

We have used the Ardoq AI Assistant to design contingency exercises. In just two minutes, we got a scenario that was 95% ready – not just the story, but also discussion points, escalation points, assumptions, systems involved, and stakeholders. The Ardoq AI Assistant felt like magic.

Disaster Recovery Blast Radius Agent

When an application fails, the damage doesn’t stop at the application alone. Now Ardoq maps the full blast radius, and checks it against what the business can tolerate.

Component Overview Agent

Every connection in your architecture means something specific, but most people just guess based on the label. Now Ardoq verifies what it actually means, every time.

Contract and Document Extraction Agent

Upload a contract and ask the agent to extract the key terms, and it reads the document and turns it into structured data connected to the rest of your architecture.

Application Rationalization Agent

Ask whether you should retire an application, and the Application Rationalization Agent cross-references your portfolio data and flags contradictions before you make the call.

Data Insights Agent

Bad imports quietly undermine every decision built on them. Now Ardoq checks the logic of your foundation data and tells you what’s wrong, not just what’s missing.

Custom Agents (Coming Soon)

Deploy your own custom AI agents in Ardoq, scoped to your architecture, your metamodel, and your workflows.

Why You Can Trust What Our Agents Tell You

ardoq ai assistant comparison generic llms

Ask two AI tools the same question about your data, and you can get two different answers back. Confidence isn't the same thing as correctness.

Generic AI sees every file at once, chains facts without checking them, and has no model of what your architecture actually means, so when it's wrong, there's no trail back. Ardoq controls the whole process instead: only relevant context reaches the model, every step is checked against your real data, with EA expertise built in. The result is an answer you can trust and trace, not just one that sounds right.
