AI Superagent works like a CAM programmer. Within ENCY, it can access the workflow, analyze the task, make decisions, and act as the process unfolds. This is the key difference between a conventional AI chat and an agentic AI system built for an AI-first CAM workflow. One of the two core scenarios is working with a 3D model. A user uploads a model and assigns a task, and AI Superagent approaches the part like a technologist: it develops a machining strategy, determines how to implement it in ENCY, creates operations, adjusts parameters, runs calculations, checks simulation results, and refines the outcome when needed. The second core scenario is working with an existing project. AI Superagent can connect not only to a new model, but also to an active project: continue the work, make changes, help refine the solution, and move forward from the project’s current state rather than starting from scratch. AI Superagent

Aptean, a global provider of mission-critical B2B industry-specific software, announced the release of Logility DemandAI+ on AppCentral, Aptean’s agentic AI platform. DemandAI+ is Logility’s AI-first demand planning and forecasting solution, designed with advanced AI, and now available with prebuilt agents ready to activate on day one. Customers can deploy these AI agents to improve forecast accuracy, instantly retrieve historical data, detect emerging trends, and flag training opportunities so planners can focus on the most important decisions and improve forecast performance. Crucially, planners stay in control. Each agent can operate autonomously or with human intervention, giving teams the flexibility to decide where AI acts independently and where a planner stays in the loop. The prebuilt agents are where organizations start, not where they stop. DemandAI+'s composable architecture means additional agents can be added as planning needs evolve and organizations can work with Logility supply chain experts to build beyond the prebuilt set, without

We are excited to announce that four powerful new analysis blocks from our partners at QUGATE are now available on the Marketplace! They bring advanced statistical and optimization capabilities directly into pSeven Enterprise workflows, helping you build more robust and efficient designs. Modern engineering increasingly relies on high-fidelity simulations that are accurate but computationally expensive. In many real-world projects, running enough simulations to fully explore uncertainty or design trade-offs simply isn't feasible and the cost and time of each additional run is a challenge every engineering team knows well. That's why QUGATE's analysis blocks are built around a core principle: do more with less. Every block is designed to extract maximum insight from a minimal number of simulations, so engineers can quantify uncertainty and make confident design decisions without the burden of brute-force exploration. Fewer runs, deeper understanding. These tools are developed to fit seamlessly into existing engineering workflows. They offer direct compatibility with the standard
