LayerX monitors its agentic enterprise AI workflows with Datadog Agent Observability

LayerX's Ai Workforce platform helps enterprises automate document-intensive work such as proposal search, credit-assessment reporting, lease-asset registration, document classification and enterprise knowledge search. At its centre is an agentic architecture that dynamically combines searches, tool calls, LLM interactions and workflow execution based on the business objective. LayerX uses Datadog Agent Observability so it can scale these workflows while understanding every decision the agent makes.
