What Every Buyer Should Ask

Does my team own the production agent logic?

Most platforms generate or manage agent behavior on your behalf. Pypestream's DSL gives your CX designers direct authorship of every production workflow -- version-controlled, auditable, and modifiable without engineering support.

How long has this hybrid architecture been in regulated production?

Several competitors announced hybrid deterministic and Gen AI features in 2025 or 2026. Pypestream's hybrid architecture has been running in insurance, healthcare, and telecom production environments since 2015 -- protected by an issued patent portfolio with a capstone issued February 2026.

What does the pre-built library look like for my industry?

Pypestream's Resource Library contains over 1,000 production-proven microagents built over a decade of enterprise deployments in regulated industries. Most competitors have no equivalent.

Does the platform execute transactions or just answer questions?

Answering questions is the easy part. Pypestream's AI agents connect directly to your systems of record -- Salesforce, Guidewire, Epic, Twilio -- and execute complete transactions within the interaction. No ticket. No queue. No human in the loop unless the situation requires one.
