Koch and Sema4.ai Collaborate to Transform Enterprise Operations with Intelligent AI Agents

WICHITA, Kan., Oct. 15, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Koch, a diversified global business, is proud to collaborate with Sema4.ai, an innovator in enterprise AI Agent solutions. Using the power of Sema4.ai's advanced AI Agents, Koch companies aim to streamline operations, enhance productivity, and deliver mutual benefit across both organizations.

Enabling scalable innovation and digital transformation

Sema4.ai's enterprise AI agents are designed to automate complex tasks and integrate seamlessly with existing business processes. These intelligent agents are capable of understanding business context, reasoning, and collaborating with human teams to execute high-value work with unprecedented accuracy and efficiency.

"By integrating Sema4.ai's AI agents into our operations, we are setting a new standard for productivity and operational excellence," said Matt Hoag, Chief Technology Officer at Koch. "This collaboration enhances our internal workflows and positions us to offer innovative solutions to other enterprises seeking to leverage AI for transformative results." 

"At Koch Engineered Solutions (KES), a key objective in our IT vision is 'simplification,'" says Brad Hoefler, Chief Technology Officer at KES, a Koch company. "Part of our modernization and maturity journey as a capability supporting our KES businesses, we are developing a 'Data First Architecture' with our partners at Sema4.ai and Snowflake. This will enable KES to leverage our data where it already lives, eliminating the risk of data egress. The seamless integration of Sema4.ai Team Edition into the Snowflake ecosystem will make deploying AI agents that execute real work easy and secure."

Re-thinking manual workflows

Sema4.ai's AI agents are enabling Koch companies to automate manual reconciliation processes, which have traditionally been time-consuming, error-prone, and resource-intensive. Sema4.ai's AI agents address these challenges by automating the entire workflow, reducing costs, and strengthening controls. The agents parse and deeply understand invoices, processing hundreds of pages line by line and seamlessly integrating with existing enterprise financial data, saving hours/days of work.

"AI Agents are changing how we think about our work in all phases – people, process, technology – shifting time and effort away from manual and repetitive tasks to more fulfilling and meaningful work." said Brett Wittorff, Senior Trade Analyst Manager at Koch Ag & Energy Solutions, adding, "Sema4 agents are setting the bar higher and enabling new ways our teams can impact business outcomes."

Expanding capabilities and mutual benefit

Beyond invoice reconciliation, the collaboration extends to other critical business operations, including work order creation, manufacturing sensor tag creation, maintenance scheduling, procurement analysis, and document understanding. Sema4.ai's platform enables enterprises to build, run, and manage AI agents that understand context, reason, act, and collaborate, transforming how work gets done in the AI era.

A mutual benefit approach goes beyond a simple transaction – it reflects a proactive mindset that drives Sema4.ai to seek opportunities where success is achieved by benefiting others in a win-win relationship. This collaboration enhances operations at Koch companies and provides Sema4.ai with hands-on opportunities to deploy and test AI agents in real enterprise environments. By working on actual business processes, this joint effort allows Sema4.ai to refine its platform, validate AI performance, and demonstrate tangible value in solving real-world enterprise challenges.

Tailored to solve practical enterprise challenges, this collaboration enables faster, iterative AI deployments. Enterprise partners gain access to mature, proven AI solutions that reduce risk and speed up time-to-market for AI-driven business improvements. Together, Koch and Sema4.ai are shaping a future of smarter, more efficient AI-powered enterprises grounded in long-term innovation and trusted market credibility.

A vision for the future

By combining Koch's operational expertise with Sema4.ai's cutting-edge AI technology, both organizations are poised to lead the way in digital and AI transformation.

"Sema4.ai is bringing enterprise AI agents out of experimentation and into production," said Rob Bearden, CEO of Sema4.ai. "With Koch, we're proving how agentic automation can meet the scale and complexity of real business operations—creating a model other enterprises can replicate to drive measurable results."
