The Agents Group
Founded in 2014 by Dr. Anet Potgieter, The Agents Group (Pty) Ltd builds on over a decade of research and development. Starting with The Agents Laboratory 2002 and the Robotics and Agents Lab in 2007 at the University of Cape Town, these initiatives laid the foundation for Complex Adaptive Intelligence (CAI)—a technology inspired by biological systems that enables autonomous adaptation in complex environments.
Our Unique Approach
At the core of our innovation is Complex Adaptive Intelligence (CAI), which powers the Artificial Mind Engine (AME)—a platform designed to operate autonomously, learn continuously, and adapt in real-time.
Our Technology
We design systems for organisations that operate where every decision matters. From public safety to healthcare, industrial operations, and environmental monitoring, our technology ensures data is processed responsibly, decisions are auditable, and outcomes are adaptive.
