NVIDIA Puts Guardrails and Business Knowledge Around Agents

At GTC Berlin: the OpenShell Reference Architecture, and Agent Knowledge Foundation for Agent Toolkit.

Controls agents can’t rewrite.

“AI agents need fast tool calls and security controls they can’t rewrite,” NVIDIA AI says. The NVIDIA OpenShell Reference Architecture combines the compute to run agents at scale with runtime controls that govern their access to tools and data.

Jensen Huang introduced it at GTC Berlin, NVIDIA says, to help businesses set boundaries for AI agents and stop them when they step outside those boundaries.

Agents that know the business.

“AI agents need to know your business to be useful,” NVIDIA AI adds. At GTC Berlin it is adding NVIDIA Agent Knowledge Foundation to NVIDIA Agent Toolkit. It helps agents find relevant information, make predictions and help people decide what to do next.
