# Agentic Orchestration and Aprimo

:::info[Actively Evolving]
Agentic orchestration is one of the fastest-moving areas in enterprise software. Aprimo is actively investing in integrations, tooling, and guidance across platforms and patterns. The approaches documented here reflect our current best understanding — check back regularly as this space develops. Have a use case or question not covered here?

Agentic orchestration platforms — tools like Glean, Microsoft Copilot Studio, and others — let organizations build AI agents that can reason, retrieve information, and take action across enterprise systems. Connecting Aprimo to these platforms unlocks your DAM as an active participant in AI-driven workflows: agents can answer questions grounded in your content, act on Aprimo data, and hand users deep links directly into the right assets.


## Patterns

Patterns describe *what you are trying to do* when connecting Aprimo to an agentic platform — independent of which platform you are using. Start here before thinking about implementation.

| Pattern | What It Does |
|---|---|
| [Knowledge Pattern](./patterns/knowledge-pattern.md) | Push Aprimo content into a platform's knowledge index so agents can answer questions grounded in your DAM |
| [Invocation Pattern](./patterns/invocation-pattern.md) | Call Aprimo from an orchestration tool to take action — creating collections, updating metadata, retrieving files |
| [Smart Link Pattern](./patterns/deep-link-pattern.md) | Generate contextual Aprimo URLs that drop users directly into the right search results, record, or collection |

## Platforms

Platform guides cover *how to apply those patterns* within a specific orchestration tool — including which extensibility points to use and how Aprimo's APIs map to that platform's model.

| Platform | Description |
|---|---|
| [Glean](./platforms/glean.md) | Connect Aprimo to Glean for enterprise search and agent-driven content retrieval |
| [Microsoft Copilot Studio](./platforms/copilot-studio.md) | Build agents in Copilot Studio that search, retrieve, and act on Aprimo content |
| [Microsoft 365 Copilot](./platforms/m365-copilot.md) | Connect Aprimo to M365 Copilot via declarative agents and API plugins |
| [n8n](./platforms/n8n.md) | Automate Aprimo workflows using n8n with MCP and REST API integration |

## MCP Server

Aprimo's MCP Server exposes DAM capabilities as callable tools that LLMs can discover and invoke dynamically — for use in chat agents, autonomous pipelines, and any platform that supports MCP.

See [MCP Server Tools](./aprimo-mcp-server/aprimo-mcp-server.md) for the full tool reference including search, metadata retrieval, file access, and metadata updates.

## Decision Guides

Not sure which integration approach to use? The Decision Guides outline Aprimo's understanding of agentic architecture and our recommendations for common design decisions.
