Agents provide automated, ongoing analysis of your project data. These configurable agents can continuously monitor your project for specific conditions, patterns, or potential issues, delivering recommendations and alerts for human review.
We've created six ready-to-use agent templates for some of the most common needs of regulated teams. You can choose to run these agents manually or on a regular schedule.
This agent systematically analyzes requirements to identify inconsistencies, contradictions, or conflicts. It focuses on finding requirements that might contradict each other, particularly looking at performance vs. security requirements, regulatory compliance conflicts, resource allocation conflicts, and user access vs. functionality conflicts.
This agent examines requirements, change requests, and software specifications to identify redundancies and overlaps. It classifies overlaps by type (direct duplication, partial overlap, implicit coverage, or cross-reference overlap), analyzes impact, and provides optimization recommendations.
This agent evaluates the relationship between requirements and test cases to identify gaps in test coverage. It finds instances where tests might cover a requirement but aren't formally linked, helping ensure complete verification of all requirements.
This agent performs expert quality management reviews of anomalies and change requests, providing feedback on the quality of proposed changes. It helps maintain consistent quality standards across your development lifecycle.
In addition to Ketryx's templated AI agents, you can create your own custom agents. Here are some effective agent prompts you can use when creating your own custom agents:
Design Specification Completeness:Review all software specifications and identify which ones lack sufficient detail for implementation. Highlight areas where more specificity is needed and suggest improvements.
Regulatory Compliance Assessment:Evaluate my requirements against ISO 13485 documentation standards. Identify any requirements that don't meet the expected level of detail, traceability, or verification and suggest improvements.
Change Impact Analysis:For recent change requests, identify which other configuration items might need modification based on these changes.
These agents can be scheduled to run on regular intervals (such as weekly) and will automatically process your selected items based on the KQL filter you provide. Results are delivered through the Ketryx platform and can optionally be sent via email notifications. This helps teams maintain high quality and compliance standards while reducing manual review effort.
When creating an agent, you can control who has access to the agent and its results:
Visible to all project members
Results are accessible to the entire project team
Ideal for collaborative quality reviews, compliance checks, and standardized analysis
Help maintain consistent quality standards across the team
Runs and results are only accessible to the agent creator
Useful for specialized analysis relevant to specific roles
Allow experimentation without cluttering the shared project space
You can select the visibility option when creating a new agent by checking or unchecking the "Agent is visible to all project members" option. Both project-wide and private agents can be scheduled to run automatically and will send email notifications of results to the creator regardless of visibility setting.
Ketryx is continuously improving. If you have any feedback or encounter any issues, please and let us know!
