Sema4.ai Studio is an AI agent builder for creating and deploying agents in a secure local environment. Users describe agent behavior in plain-English Runbooks, select actions, connect enterprise applications through MCP, and choose models from OpenAI, Microsoft Azure, or Amazon Bedrock. The platform also supports real-time reasoning views, guided conversations, and agent testing and sharing.
