The Embedded AI Ledger

Vendors claim hundreds of AI agents inside the enterprise stack. This is the neutral ledger of the ones actually documented — what each does, whether it's shipped, who pays for it, and a primary source per row.

Documented agents by vendor — and who pays

Segment = licensing status. The green share is the activation gap in its purest form: capability included in subscriptions customers already pay for.

Claimed vs. named

Marketing counts what it wants to count. The ledger only counts what can be verified. The distance between those two numbers is itself a finding.

Method & scope

What counts as an entry

An entry is a fully documented AI agent, assistant, or agentic application shipping inside one of six enterprise suites (SAP, Microsoft, Oracle, Salesforce, ServiceNow, Workday). Fully documented means all of: a name, what it does, a release status, a licensing tag, and a primary source — vendor newsroom, documentation, or official product page. Generic platform capabilities ("AI-powered search") are excluded unless the vendor names them as a distinct agent.

A name alone doesn't clear the bar. Oracle's own catalog page names roughly 180 agents, advisors and agentic workspaces — far more than its announcements document with a status and a date. Those names are tracked in Claimed vs. named below, and rows get promoted into the ledger as vendors document them. The distance between naming and documenting is itself one of the ledger's findings.

Licensing is recorded as: included (no incremental charge on the qualifying subscription), metered (consumes credits/units — SAP AI Units, Salesforce Flex Credits, Workday Flex Credits, Oracle AI Units), paid add-on (a separate per-user SKU), or unclear (vendor hasn't said publicly — which is a data point in itself). Oracle nuance: included covers the prebuilt agents and Agent Studio on Oracle-provided models with the qualifying Fusion subscription — premium-model usage beyond the default token allocation, marketplace/third-party agents, and custom agents require a paid subscription (Oracle pricing FAQ, 2026).

Status: GA, preview, or announced. Vendors rename and re-bundle constantly; the ledger records the state at the compile date and each release gets a version stamp.

What this isn't: a completeness claim. Vendors name only a fraction of what they count in marketing (see Claimed vs. named). Corrections and additions are welcome — every row is falsifiable by design.

Verification & changelog

v1.0 — compiled 22 July 2026. 144 named agents across six suites, each row carrying a primary source.

23 July 2026 — independent row-level verification. Before launch, every row was re-checked against every cited source (23 distinct primary URLs). Result: all 144 names found in their sources, zero dead links — and 17 corrections, applied in full:

  • 4 status downgrades (Workday, GA → preview): Frontline, Payroll, Financial Audit and Planning Agents — Workday's own release describes them as early access, and no later GA confirmation exists in public sources.
  • 4 licensing re-tags (Microsoft, included → metered/unclear): Business Central's Sales Order Agent bills via Copilot Credits per Microsoft's own docs; Payables Agent's billing is "to be announced"; the two Project Operations agents have no public inclusion statement. This moved the headline included-share from 39% to 36% — the numbers on this page are computed from the dataset, so what you see is post-correction.
  • 9 source upgrades: rows re-pointed at stronger primary sources — including swapping a syndicated press-release mirror for the original on salesforce.com, and citing the Microsoft page that actually states GA for Facilitator and Interpreter.

That four vendor GA claims didn't survive a re-read of the vendors' own announcements is, itself, a finding. Corrections are welcome — every row is falsifiable by design, and the next quarterly version will credit them.
