The customized, autonomous AI agents will run on Nvidia's AI platform.
Energy company Repsol has extended its co-innovation partnership with Dublin-based professional services firm Accenture to accelerate the use of generative AI across the company, through the introduction and deployment of AI agent systems. This “agentification” will help to improve the efficiency of processes as they are scaled across all company businesses.
Introducing AI agents is part of the evolution of Repsol’s digital program, an extension of the work carried out for more than two years in the energy firm’s Generative AI competence Center, which has laid the foundations for analyzing and understanding the advantages of generative AI and defined a strategy to extend it throughout the company.
“With the extension of our collaboration with Accenture, we continue to drive our digitalization and AI push through the introduction of generative AI agents,” said Josu Jon Imaz, CEO of Repsol. “We aspire to be one of the pioneering companies in the energy sector in the use of these technologies. Since we launched our Digital Program more than six years ago, Accenture has been providing us with tools to improve our efficiency and competitiveness, in our effort to transform the company through technology.”
The deal means Accenture will help build and deploy customized, autonomous AI agents, powered by components of the Accenture AI Refinery platform and the Nvidia AI platform, including Nvidia accelerated computing and Nvidia AI enterprise software.
In a press release, Repsol says these agents will help “reinvent and streamline processes into more dynamic and less complex workflows to boost productivity, ranging from planning and forecasting to application maintenance and incident resolution,” enabling Repsol employees to work faster, simpler and more efficiently.
The two companies will also explore the use of AI agents and Nvidia Omniverse for digital twins and robotic solutions to perform maintenance and other activities in its industrial and logistics centers more efficiently.
“We are excited to help Repsol achieve a new level of performance by working together to create tailored AI agents with the Accenture AI Refinery™ and the NVIDIA AI platform. Accelerating the use of agentic AI will enhance efficiency and productivity at speed, better serve customers with personalized experiences, and ultimately help Repsol gain competitive advantage,” said Julie Sweet, chair and CEO, Accenture.
On the customer side, these technologies will deliver personalized offers with greater accuracy and speed.
As part of this agreement, Repsol will also expand training for its employees.
