Innovation Watch: Agentic AI Developer Platforms and Frameworks 2025

Agentic AI represents the next leap in enterprise automation, moving beyond predefined rules and static workflows toward systems that can interpret context, make informed decisions, and autonomously execute multi-step actions. These agents can coordinate across processes, adapt to the dynamic environment, and refine their behavior through continuous feedback, shifting organizational focus from incremental productivity gains to more holistic, intelligence-led transformation. As a result, enterprises are beginning to view autonomy as a core capability that reshapes how work gets done.

Within this shift, a critical growth area is the pro-code ecosystem which consists of frameworks, Software Development Kits (SDKs), Integrated Development Environments (IDEs), platforms, runtimes, and various tools, designed specifically for developers. These offerings empower organizations to design agentic architectures with full control over logic, memory, orchestration, and integrations and provide the technical backbone required to operationalize and scale agentic AI safely and effectively across the enterprise.

In this report, we evaluate 13 agentic AI technology providers offering pro-code offerings. The report classifies them as Luminaries, Fast Followers, Influencers, or Seekers based on the Everest Group’s Innovation Watch Assessment. It explores agentic AI use case prioritization by evaluating industries and business functions that stand to benefit most from its adoption. The research also delves into agentic AI’s impact on addressing key business challenges, driving automation, improving decision-making, and enhancing operational efficiency.
