Nvidia launches NeMo software tools to help enterprises build custom AI agents for tasks

Chip giant Nvidia on Wednesday announced the general availability of tools to develop "agentic" artificial intelligence for enterprises. Called NeMo microservices, the software tools, which are part of Nvidia's AI Enterprise software portfolio, offer several functions that customize and repeatedly optimize the functioning of AI agents for a variety of tasks, including call centers and software development. In a media briefing, Nvidia's head of generative AI for enterprise, Joey Conway, framed the NeMo software as a way to use AI agents as "digital employees." "Our view of where we see things going is that there are over a billion knowledge workers across many industries, geographies, and locations," said Conway. "And our view is that digital employees, or AI agents, will be able to help enterprises get more work done in these various domains and scenarios."
