Insider One Introduces Agent One™, the Self-Optimizing Intelligence System for Autonomous Customer Engagement

Published

on

Agent One™ combines Agent One Teams and Agent One Audiences into a natively connected two-sided intelligence system where every interaction strengthens the next decision.

NEW YORK, Sept. 17, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Insider One, the leading agentic customer engagement platform, today announced the launch of Agent One™, the self-optimizing intelligence system for autonomous customer engagement.

Agent One introduces a new operating model for customer engagement where intelligence compounds through every interaction. The self-optimizing intelligence system continuously understands customer context, determines what should happen next, takes action, learns from outcomes, and improves future decisions.

“There are decades where nothing happens and there are weeks where decades happen. This is the moment we have been building toward for years. This is where the next decade of customer engagement begins,” said Hande Cilingir, Co-Founder and CEO at Insider One. “The industry spent the last decade teaching systems to remember customers. The next decade will belong to systems that know when to change their mind. For years, companies have invested in collecting more signals, building richer profiles, and creating faster access to data. But data alone does not create understanding. Customers change. Context expires. The winning systems will not be the ones that remember everything. They will be the ones that understand what matters now. Agent One brings together more than a decade of AI and customer engagement leadership into a self-optimizing intelligence system. For the first time, brands can continuously adapt to changing customer intent at scale, closing the gap between what customers want and what businesses deliver in every interaction. As the system understands, decides, acts, and learns, it continuously improves the quality of every decision, allowing engagement and business outcomes to compound over time.”

At the core of Agent One is a natively connected two-sided intelligence system built around both sides of customer engagement: the business and the customer.

Agent One Teams runs customer engagement for teams, planning, deciding, creating, orchestrating, and optimizing toward the outcomes brands define. Instead of teams manually managing individual engagement decisions, Agent One Teams enables marketers to define objectives and guardrails while autonomous intelligence determines the next best action.

Agent One Teams brings together purpose-built agents designed for specific customer engagement roles. Based on the objective, the system calls upon the right agent for the task, whether planning a strategy, creating content, orchestrating experiences, or optimizing performance, combining decisioning and action in one continuous workflow.

As Agent One Teams operates, it learns from every interaction and outcome. As performance changes, the system continuously adapts, optimizing journeys, content, offers, segments, and engagement decisions to improve what happens next, autonomously.

Agent One Audiences listens directly to customers, understanding their intent in their own words and turning every interaction into intelligence that improves what happens next.

Through Agent One Audiences, brands can deploy customer-facing agents that move beyond static interactions. Shopping Agent helps customers discover and decide with personalized guidance, while Support Agent helps resolve customer needs through contextual conversations that continuously improve future engagement.

Together, Agent One Teams and Agent One Audiences create a continuous intelligence loop. Both systems read and write from the same living context, allowing what customers reveal in conversations to improve what brands do next, and what brands learn from all their interactions to improve every future customer conversation. What either side learns, the other inherits, creating a continuously improving intelligence system.

Agent One is designed to operate within the technology ecosystems brands already use. Through native integrations, APIs, and MCP-based connectivity, Agent One can connect intelligence across existing data environments, channels, and enterprise systems.

“The differentiation behind Agent One is the architecture that enables intelligence to continuously self-improve. Agent One was built natively as one intelligence system, connecting data, context, decisioning, orchestration, and execution into a continuous learning loop,” said Muharrem Derinkök, Chief Product Officer at Insider One. “Vertical integration gives Agent One the depth required for self-optimization, while warehouse-native access and open, composable architecture allow it to operate across any data environment, interface, or execution layer. This enables autonomous decisioning and action while every interaction strengthens the intelligence behind the next decision.”

Agent One is designed to deliver autonomy on the brand’s terms. Marketing teams define the outcomes they want to achieve, establish the objectives and guardrails, and determine where and how much autonomy the system should apply, ensuring clear and enterprise-grade governance.

Agent One elevates the role of marketing and customer engagement teams from operators of individual channels, campaigns, and decisions to owners of an intelligent customer engagement system, setting strategy, defining objectives, managing guardrails, and continuously optimizing how the system operates.

As Agent One continuously understands, decides, acts, and learns, teams can spend less time executing individual actions and more time collaborating across the business, aligning customer engagement with broader business outcomes, and shaping the strategies that guide autonomous decision-making. By enabling an intelligence system capable of making and acting upon millions of decisions simultaneously, Agent One allows customer engagement to deliver greater business value while moving marketing teams up the value chain toward strategy, innovation, and cross-functional collaboration.

“Marketers were promised agents. What they got were operators. They complete part of the work, then hand control back to the team. The result is that marketers are still managing decisions at a scale no human team can sustain,” said Serhat Soyuerel, Co-Founder and Chief Revenue Officer at Insider One. “Agent One changes that operating model. Brands define the outcomes and guardrails, while Agent One autonomously makes and acts upon millions of decisions, learns from every interaction, and improves what happens next. This changes what customer engagement teams can achieve, creating a lasting competitive advantage where every interaction strengthens the next decision and outcomes compound over time.”

Agent One Teams and Agent One Audiences are available as part of the Insider One platform, bringing autonomous intelligence into the complete customer engagement ecosystem. To learn more, visit: https://insiderone.com/agent-one

French region goes live with digital pathology from Sectra to speed up cancer diagnostics

Published

on

By

LINKÖPING, Sweden, Sept. 17, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — International medical imaging IT and cybersecurity company Sectra (STO: SECT B) has successfully implemented the digital pathology module of its enterprise imaging solution at four hospitals in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur (PACA) region in France. The hospitals are the first of eight across the region to move onto one shared solution, letting pathologists work on cases together across sites and speed up cancer diagnostics for patients.

The first phase of the rollout covers four hospitals across the PACA region in southern France, all of which are now live:

Institut Paoli-Calmettes (IPC) in Marseille, an oncology center that is part of a national network of cancer centers Assistance Publique des Hôpitaux de Marseille (APHM), one of the largest hospital groups in France Centre Hospitalier AixPertuis (CHAP), a public hospital serving the Aix-en-Provence area Centre Antoine Lacassagne (CAL) in Nice, a comprehensive cancer center that is part of the Unicancer network

“This regional project is an important step toward strengthening cancer care across the PACA region. By working more closely with other partner hospitals, we can share expertise and ensure that patients receive faster and more accurate diagnoses. Digitizing pathology workflows through Sectra’s solution is central to this transformation and will allow us to collaborate seamlessly across sites and access cases regardless of where the patient is being treated,” says Professor Nicolas Macagno at APHM.

Professor Emmanuelle Charafe at IPC continues:

“The deployment of digital pathology represents a major advance for diagnostic practice and medical cooperation at the regional level. At Institut Paoli-Calmettes, this solution enables our teams to access records more quickly, streamline exchanges between experts, and strengthen collaboration with partner institutions. Beyond these organizational gains, it helps provide patients with faster access to highly specialized expertise and further improves the quality of cancer diagnostics. Not only has the Sectra solution improved the accuracy of cancer diagnosis, but it also enables precise evaluation of biomarkers, giving our patients access to precision medicine in oncology. It also allows us to fulfill our mission as a leading cancer center for patients across the region, as it has streamlined exchanges and second opinions. The implementation process with Sectra has been excellent, and we look forward to continuing our partnership.”

These four implementations follow orders received under Sectra’s 2022 framework agreement with UniHA, a cooperative of French public hospitals, which enables connected hospitals to purchase the solution on pre-negotiated terms and conditions. The second phase, covering the four remaining hospitals in the PACA region, CHU de Nice, Centres Hospitaliers de Toulon and Avignon, and the Centre Hospitalier d’Ajaccio (CHA) in Corsica, is already underway and planned to be completed during 2027.

Sectra’s digital pathology solution allows pathologists to review and collaborate around cases in a way that has not been possible before. The digital workflow provides instant and, if needed, remote access to digital images of tissue samples instead of relying on physical glass slides reviewed in microscopes. By consolidating pathology into a single solution, collaboration among pathologists, both within a department, between sites, and for external consultations with referent expert pathologists, becomes significantly easier, marking an essential step toward improving overall regional cancer care.

“I’m delighted to see yet another part of France working across hospital boundaries. It’s essential for efficient diagnostics, especially in cancer care where the experts are often based at different sites. We are really looking forward to seeing our digital pathology solution facilitating the hospitals’ important work and to work closely with them to ensure it will support them now and in the future,” says Fabien Lozach, President of Sectra in France.

The pathology module is a part of Sectra’s enterprise imaging solution which provides a unified strategy for all imaging needs while lowering operational costs. The scalable and modular solution, with a VNA at its core, allows healthcare providers to grow from ology to ology and from enterprise to enterprise.
