New AI Solutions for IoT
Soracom, a cloud-native IoT platform, has unveiled Soracom Agent, a new AI-powered tool designed to assist teams throughout the entire Internet of Things (IoT) project lifecycle. From defining requirements and design to development and operations, this product further cements Soracom’s status as a pioneer in the field of mobile virtual network operators (MVNO) utilizing AI technologies.
Soracom Agent builds on a suite of AI services introduced over the past two years. Notable among these are Soracom Query and Soracom Flux. Soracom Query allows users to engage with their device and connectivity data in natural language, eliminating the need for SQL queries. Meanwhile, Soracom Flux enables teams to create automated workflows utilizing cloud AI models without extensive coding expertise. The platform has also integrated an MCP server, enhancing interoperability with AI tools. Soracom Agent leverages these functionalities, facilitating the design, construction, and management of IoT deployments.
The AI agent operates within a secure, isolated container assigned to each customer. This feature allows it to develop “project memory,” enhancing its understanding of unique deployments as they evolve. Additionally, Soracom Agent facilitates interactions with a variety of Soracom services via its API, CLI, and MCP interfaces. Its user-friendly design enables not only developers but also non-technical personnel to engage effectively with the platform, which lowers the required level of expertise for managing connected products. The design also ensures that customers retain full control over their data and the insights generated through their projects.
Kenta Yasukawa, CTO and co-founder of Soracom, emphasized the company’s journey from facilitating IoT connectivity to integrating advanced AI capabilities. Highlighting the evolution, he noted that Soracom Query empowered teams to query their IoT data naturally, and Soracom Flux helped automate workflows effectively. With Soracom Agent, the technology aims to support customers throughout the entirety of their project journey, from initial requirements gathering to live operations, while safeguarding their data ownership.
Currently, Soracom Agent is available as a technology preview. For further information about Soracom Agent and the company’s suite of AI services for IoT, interested parties can visit soracom.io/contact-us.
