Give complex knowledge work its own application.

Start with the knowledge work people need to accomplish. Define the agent's role, the knowledge and tools it can use, and the permissions around its actions. Then build the screens, workflow, code, and integrations that help people work with it. IKE keeps the agent and application connected.

The pattern

Take the prototype into real knowledge work.

Vibe coding can get a first version working quickly. Putting an agentic application in front of customers means deciding whose data it can use, which actions it can take, how it handles credentials, and what happens when a tool or run fails.

That work calls for experience across the application and the services behind it: user isolation, runtime lifecycle, integrations, recovery, and operations. IKE keeps the agent's role, knowledge, capabilities, permissions, and session connected. Through a Design Partnership, Omni Arcs Product Studio helps you scope those requirements and build the application around them. The work also helps refine the IKE ADK for public availability.

Define the knowledge-work outcome.

Limit tools and integrations to the work.

Keep context and permissions attached.

Show evidence and results people can review.

An Agent Application uses its Persona foundation and permitted capabilities through IKE. Enterprise systems exchange approved actions and results; models and tools exchange calls and results; people exchange review requests and decisions.
IKE ADK · Private preview

Build the application from a shared IKE layer.

The IKE ADK connects the product and runtime concepts an agentic application needs, so each application does not have to rebuild the platform.

Agent definition

Agent Applications, Agent Groups, Personas, and Persona Bindings define the agent and its operating context.

Knowledge and artifacts

Collections, Knowledge Artifacts, and Ingestion Pipelines organize and update the sources an application uses.

Skills and tools

Skills, Tools, Blocks, and Capabilities describe reusable work the application can compose.

Interaction and work

Application Sessions, Conversations, Runs, Jobs, and Reviews carry work across chat and purpose-built experiences.

Policy and access

Principals, Roles, Policies, Entitlements, Sharing, and Authority govern who can use each capability.

Model configuration

Models, Model Profiles, embeddings, routing, guardrails, and provider configuration shape inference.

Deployment and runtime

Application Deployments, Hosting Providers, Gateways, Hosted Agents, and Runners realize the application at runtime.

Scope and isolation

Applications, Tenants, Workspaces, and Environments keep configuration and operation in the right boundary.

See what we've already built with IKE.

Hosted OpenClaw brings a full agent framework, dedicated hosting, Personas, knowledge, authentication, and shared access together as a managed application. Omni Arcs Product Studio built and operates it with IKE. Bring us your complex knowledge workflow, the systems it needs to connect, and the constraints it must respect. We'll work with you to design, build, and operate the application around it.

IKE connects the Persona foundation and workspace chat to OpenClaw sessions. OpenClaw owns its framework and memory; Ikentic manages dedicated hosting.

Illustrated anti-money laundering case workflow surface

Move an anti-money laundering case through a visible, reviewable workflow.

This Design Partnership is building an agentic offering around an established anti-money laundering product. The offering extends its customers' existing experience with purpose-built, reviewable case work.

  • One case workspace

    Keep source records, controls, evidence, open gaps, and human closure together.

  • IKE behind the workflow

    Bind the analyst Persona, approved capabilities, knowledge, and session context to the case.

Illustrated StrainBrain AI Budtender application surface
Built with StrainBrain

Add an AI Budtender to a retail experience without turning the experience into chat.

StrainBrain is an Ikentic Design Partner building an AI-guided retail experience for dispensaries.

  • The storefront stays primary

    Add product guidance while the retailer's shopping flow stays in the foreground.

  • IKE behind the assistant

    Supply the Persona, approved recommendation capabilities, and session context behind the experience.

More application shapes

The same IKE layer can support a conversation or a combined work experience.

These examples show how Personas, capabilities, context, and sessions carry across different application surfaces.

AML agent conversation

A Persona-bound agent conversation that uses the capabilities behind an established AML product.

Choose the experience

Three ways to turn an agent into a useful application.

Begin with the Persona and capabilities the knowledge work needs. Then choose how people will use the application: through chat, a managed agent framework, or a purpose-built interface and workflow.

Start with chat.

Direct Agent puts your Persona to work in a conversation, using its knowledge, skills, tools, and permissions. It runs on IKE's shared, on-demand service, with each run scoped to your account and conversation. Create a free account to start.

Use a managed framework.

Smart Agent gives your agent dedicated resources running a framework that Ikentic hosts and manages. Hosted OpenClaw is the first option, bringing its tools, skills, channels, memory, and sessions into the application. Available with a paid plan.

Build around the workflow.

Agree on what the knowledge work needs to achieve. Give people the screens, records, state, actions, evidence, and review points to work through it. Connect the relevant Personas, agents, knowledge, plugins, integrations, code, and shared application context behind that experience.

From intent to proof

Build from confirmed meaning, then resolve the application around it.

The IKE ADK keeps human intent, application definition, effective composition, generated workflow, and deployed state as distinct stages. People confirm the meaning. Deterministic tooling resolves the build.

01 · Confirm intent

Describe the job and agree on success.

Capture the actors, outcomes, interactions, constraints, and review points in human-owned intent. Ambiguity returns to people before anything is generated.

02 · Define the application

Name what the experience requires.

Define the application surfaces, Persona slots, source needs, capabilities, components, and presentation requirements without choosing environment-specific implementations.

03 · Resolve the composition

Bind every requirement before building.

Resolve sources, components, agent runtime, routes, policy, and deployment choices into one effective composition shared by the Builder and runtime.

04 · Build and review

Turn confirmed intent into reviewable work.

Materialize annotations, the product graph, and the application workflow. Review the proposed meaning, dependencies, context, and visible outcomes.

05 · Run and prove

Test the working application against the intent.

Run the hosted surface, verify required outcomes and human review points, and evaluate model-assisted stages by semantic invariants instead of fixed generated wording.
