IBM Partner Plus
Assistants and agents that hold up in front of real people.
We have built on IBM's assistant platform since a city put one on its 311 line, and now build agents on watsonx Orchestrate: answering only from approved sources, acting in the systems you already run, and handing over to a person with the context.

City service line
The water bill looks wrong, and I am near 60601. Who do I talk to?
- Answered from approved city guidance
- Matched the ZIP code to the right office
- Opened a case in the service system
Your nearest office can review it today. I have opened case 4471 and texted you the details. Want me to connect you to a person now?
Device support
The printer shows error E-47 again.
- Recognized the customer and the device
- Read the last two tickets
- Ranked the three likeliest fixes
The fix that worked in May is the first to try. If the error stays, I will hand you to a technician with your history attached.
Pharmacy line
Is this product labeled for patients under 12?
- Searched the approved label only
- Applied the pharmacist audience rules
- Logged the answer for review
The approved label covers patients 12 and older. For younger patients I can connect you with medical information.

What we solve together
Four situations where IBM's platform and our team fit together. Each starts with a fixed-scope engagement.
-
An assistant on a live service line
Callers and customers get answers from approved sources, routed to the right place, with a person one step away.
- PracticeGenerative AI & AI Agents
- ProofA city's 311 assistant
- Start withAI & Agent Pilot
-
Agents that act, not just answer
On watsonx Orchestrate, an agent looks things up, takes the next step in your systems, and knows when to hand over.
- PracticeGenerative AI & AI Agents
- ProofA support agent for an electronics maker
- Start withAI & Agent Pilot
-
Answers that stay inside what is approved
In regulated work, the agent answers only from approved content, and the rules for each audience hold on every response.
- PracticeStrategy & Governance
- ProofA label-aware assistant in life sciences
- Start withAI Governance Quickstart
-
Use that lasts after go-live
Teams learn to work with the agent, and the measures show whether the work changed, not just whether it launched.

For IBM sellers
Selling IBM? When to bring us into an account.
Each of these is an IBM license that has not yet turned into results. We run the engagement on the platform your customer bought, and agree the approach with you first.
watsonx Orchestrate is licensed. Few agents are live.
We take one agent to production against a number the business already tracks.
We run: the AI & Agent Pilot
Send us this accountThe customer runs Watson Assistant and is weighing Orchestrate.
We have built on both. We keep what works in the assistant and take one agent on watsonx Orchestrate to production.
We run: the AI & Agent Pilot
Send us this accountAn assistant is live. Callers still ask for a person.
We find where it fails, fix the knowledge and the routing, and measure containment honestly.
We run: the AI & Agent Pilot
Send us this accountThe customer is regulated. Legal will not let an agent answer.
We set the rules, owners and evidence an agent needs before it can go live.
We run: the AI Governance Quickstart
Send us this accountThe knowledge behind the agent is scattered.
We get the content and data the agent depends on into shape, with owners to keep it current.

How a referral works
- Tell us the account and the situation. Your name, your email and one line are enough.
- We talk with you first. Nothing reaches the customer until we agree the approach.
- We run the engagement on the platform you sold, and keep you informed.

Questions
Are you an IBM partner?
Yes. We partner with IBM through IBM Partner Plus, and we are model-neutral by policy: no partnership is exclusive.
Do we need watsonx to work with you?
No. The recommendation follows your data and your footprint. If your platform is IBM, we build on it; if it is not, the Generative AI & AI Agents practice describes the same work elsewhere.
Can you work on an assistant built before watsonx Orchestrate?
Yes. The assistants above were built on IBM Watson before watsonx Orchestrate, and we build on both.
We run Watson Assistant today. Can you take us to watsonx Orchestrate?
Yes. We built assistants on Watson and now build agents on watsonx Orchestrate, so we keep the content, routing and hand-offs that work and add agents that act in your systems. The AI & Agent Pilot takes the first one to production.
I sell IBM. How do I bring you into an account?
Use "Send us this account" on the situation that fits, or send us an account from this page. A person replies, and we agree the approach with you before anyone contacts the customer.
Bring the agent you want in front of people.
Whether it is a first assistant or one already live that needs to do more, the first conversation is about what it should resolve and for whom.
