Sage is making a significant move to deepen its developer ecosystem, unveiling Sage Agent Builder and AI Gateway at its Sage Future event in San Francisco. These new tools are designed to give partners a structured, scalable way to build AI-powered experiences inside Sage products — including Sage Intacct, Sage X3, and Sage Active.

A Unified Platform for Builders

The update consolidates the developer experience across Sage's product line, giving partners a single path to build, test, and deploy solutions. According to Sage SVP Manav Thiara, the goal is to help partners "move from idea to impact more quickly while building solutions that are secure, scalable, and ready for real-world use."

Key Takeaways

  • Sage Agent Builder lets partners design, test, and deploy AI-powered experiences directly within Sage Copilot and Sage Marketplace workflows.
  • AI Gateway provides a structured integration layer across Sage Intacct, X3, and Active — reducing complexity and improving time to market.
  • New pricing models include usage-based pricing and revenue sharing, giving partners more flexible commercial options as adoption grows.
  • Enhanced onboarding includes sandbox environments and certification pathways to help developers build with confidence and deploy securely.

Why It Matters for Business AI

For small and midsized businesses, this means faster access to connected tools and automated workflows across finance, payroll, and operations — all delivered through Sage's partner ecosystem. As enterprise AI tooling matures, the ability to "build once, integrate everywhere" is becoming a critical competitive advantage for accounting and ERP platforms.
