Palantir AIP & AI Agents
Palantir AIP & AI Agents
PAL4C LABS helps organizations build AI agents and agentic workflows on Palantir AIP — grounding LLMs, AIP Logic and generative AI in enterprise data and Foundry’s Ontology, from AI-assisted decision support to Microsoft Copilot.


Introduction
From Palantir AIP to Operational Enterprise AI
Successful enterprise AI is not simply adding a chatbot to an existing application. It requires trusted data, real business context, securely deployed models, governed access, workflows people actually use, and a way to measure and improve outcomes over time.
PAL4C LABS connects those components into practical enterprise AI solutions — grounding models in real business context, wiring them into operational workflows, and monitoring what they do once they’re live, rather than shipping a demo and stopping there.

Palantir AIP
AI Grounded in Your Enterprise Context
Palantir AIP connects large language models to an organization’s real operational context — the data, business objects and relationships already modeled in Foundry’s Ontology. Instead of reasoning over disconnected text, models can query and act on the actual customers, assets, orders and processes a business runs on.
That grounding is what makes AI-powered workflows and agents useful in production: recommendations and actions stay tied to governed, permissioned data, with human-in-the-loop checkpoints where a decision needs a person to review or approve it.

Agentic AI on Palantir AIP
Agentic AI on Palantir AIP: How We Build AI Agents That Act
Agentic AI on Palantir AIP means AI agents that read your Foundry Ontology, reason with AIP Logic, and propose or take governed Actions, with a person approving anything consequential. PAL4C LABS builds them from five AIP building blocks and tests every agent in AIP Evals before it reaches users.
AIP Logic
The reasoning engine. No-code LLM functions take Ontology objects in and return a recommendation or a staged edit. Most production agents are Logic functions underneath.
AIP Chatbot Studio
The conversational layer, formerly called AIP Agent Studio. People ask questions and request actions inside Workshop apps, and the chatbot calls Logic functions and Ontology tools to answer.
Automate
Agents that run without anyone asking. A schedule or a data change triggers a Logic function or an Action, with consequential edits staged for review.
Pro-Code Agents
For long, multi-step reasoning, engineers write agents with the Claude Agent SDK, OpenAI Agents SDK, or Google ADK and publish them as Foundry functions with scoped permissions.
Ontology MCP
Governed access to your object types, actions, and queries for agents and AI tools that live outside Palantir.
How much an agent is allowed to do
- RecommendReads objects and explains its reasoning. No edits.
- ProposePre-fills an Action and a person confirms it. Every agent we build starts here.
- StageEdits queue up for human review before they apply.
- ActEdits apply automatically, but only after the eval suite and a review period justify it.
The eval suite comes first. Before anyone writes a prompt, we collect real cases from the decision the agent will support, including requests it should refuse, and score every version of the agent against them. The cheapest model that passes is usually the one that goes to production.

Palantir AIP + Foundry
Connect AI to the Systems That Run Your Business
AI becomes more useful — and more trustworthy — when it’s connected to the enterprise data and operational context a business already runs on, not treated as an isolated chatbot bolted onto the side of an application.
PAL4C LABS connects AI and Palantir AIP to Foundry’s data platform and Ontology, so models reason with real business objects and relationships, and the applications, workflows and decisions built on top of them stay grounded in what’s actually happening across the organization.
Microsoft Copilot

FAQ
Palantir AIP & AI Agents — Frequently Asked Questions
What is agentic AI in Palantir AIP?
Agentic AI in Palantir AIP refers to AI agents that do more than answer questions. They reason over Ontology objects and take steps, such as querying data, calling functions, and proposing Ontology Actions. They’re built with AIP Logic, AIP Chatbot Studio, Automate, or pro-code agents, and they work within the same permissions as the users and data they serve.
What happened to AIP Agent Studio?
It was renamed. Palantir’s documentation says AIP Chatbot Studio was previously known as AIP Agent Studio, and AIP Chatbots were previously called AIP Agents. In current Palantir terminology, “agent” mostly refers to pro-code agents built with SDKs and published as Foundry functions.
Can a Palantir AI agent take actions in our systems?
Yes, through Ontology Action tools and only within the permissions it’s given. An Action can require a person to confirm it, be staged for review, or apply automatically. We start every agent in confirm mode and raise its autonomy only once evals and real usage support it.
How do you test Palantir AI agents before launch?
With AIP Evals. We build a suite of real test cases, including requests the agent should refuse, run the Logic, chatbot, or code-authored function against them, and score the outputs. The suite reruns whenever the prompt, tools, or model change.
What is Palantir AIP?
Palantir AIP (Artificial Intelligence Platform) connects large language models to an organization’s data and operational context inside Foundry. Rather than reasoning over disconnected text, AIP lets models query and act on real business objects — customers, assets, orders — through Foundry’s Ontology, and supports building AI agents, AIP Logic-driven workflows and applications on top of that grounding.
How does Palantir AIP work with Foundry?
AIP is built on top of Foundry’s data platform and Ontology. Foundry connects and governs enterprise data and models it around real business objects and relationships; AIP gives AI models access to that same governed context, so AI-powered workflows and applications reason with accurate, permissioned, up-to-date information instead of operating in isolation.
What is the difference between AIP and generative AI?
Generative AI refers broadly to models like LLMs that can generate text, code or other content. AIP is a platform for putting generative AI to work inside a specific enterprise’s data and Ontology — it’s the layer that connects general-purpose models to an organization’s real business context, governance and workflows.
Can PAL4C LABS build custom AI applications?
Yes. PAL4C LABS designs and builds custom generative AI applications, AI agents and Copilot experiences around specific business processes, connecting them to an organization’s existing data platforms, applications and workflows rather than shipping a generic chat interface.
Can AI connect to enterprise data?
Yes. AI is most useful when it’s connected to the systems an organization already runs on — ERP, CRM, data platforms, document stores and internal applications. PAL4C LABS designs the integration, retrieval and governance layer that lets models reason over that data safely and accurately.
What is RAG?
RAG (retrieval-augmented generation) is a technique that grounds an AI model’s responses in trusted external information — retrieving relevant documents or data at the time of a query and providing them to the model as context, rather than relying only on what the model learned during training.
What are AI agents?
AI agents are AI-powered workflows that can reason over context, take multi-step actions and, where appropriate, involve a person in the loop before completing a task. In an enterprise setting, agents are typically scoped to specific operational tasks — research, triage, drafting, analysis — rather than open-ended autonomy.
How can Microsoft Copilot be customized for business workflows?
Copilot becomes more useful when it’s connected to an organization’s own data and scoped around specific roles and workflows. That typically involves identifying high-value use cases, connecting relevant data sources, designing the experience around how a role actually works, and putting governance and adoption support in place.
How do you secure enterprise AI?
Securing enterprise AI means controlling what data a model can access, enforcing existing permissions rather than bypassing them, evaluating model outputs before they reach production, and monitoring usage on an ongoing basis. PAL4C LABS designs these controls as part of the AI architecture, not as an afterthought.
How do you move an AI proof of concept into production?
Moving from proof of concept to production typically requires connecting the model to real (not sample) data, adding evaluation and monitoring, addressing security and governance requirements, and designing the application around how people will actually use it day to day. PAL4C LABS scopes that path during discovery rather than assuming a demo is production-ready.
