Announcing Extreme Agent ONE: A Smarter, Faster, Autonomous Approach to Enterprise Networking
Extreme Networks today announced Extreme Agent ONE™, a new AI agent for enterprise networking. It integrates advanced AI inference, real-time network context, and operational know-how to transform enterprise networks into systems that autonomously detect, decide, and execute within an established governance framework. This reduces failures, accelerates problem resolution, and enables network operations that keep pace with business speed.

Extreme Networks (Headquarters: Morrisville, North Carolina, USA, Nasdaq: EXTR) today announced Extreme Agent ONE™, a new AI agent for enterprise networking. Extreme Agent ONE goes beyond general prompt-based AI and runs on the Extreme AI Stack, designed specifically for enterprise environments. It integrates advanced AI inference, real-time network context, and operational know-how to transform enterprise networks into systems that autonomously detect, decide, and execute within an established governance framework. This reduces failures, accelerates problem resolution, and enables network operations that keep pace with business speed.
Nabil Bukhari, CTO and President of AI Platforms at Extreme Networks, stated, "As networks begin to think, adapt, and act in real-time, the relationship between human users and AI agents will evolve rapidly, making simplicity and control essential for success. Our vision is to achieve large-scale autonomous networking based on trust between humans and AI agents, aiming to reduce failures, achieve rapid results, and improve operational efficiency."
Agent ONE Coworker: Proactive AI Collaborating with IT Teams
The first mode of Extreme Agent ONE, Agent ONE Coworker, is scheduled to be available on Extreme Platform ONE™ in Q3 2026 (July-September). Designed to work in conjunction with IT teams, this AI agent provides proactive and context-based intelligence through real-time decision-making and machine-speed automated execution. Through a single interactive interface, it continuously monitors network activity, investigates and addresses anomalies, thereby reducing resolution times, minimizing manual effort, and preventing problems before they impact users.
Unlike traditional AI tools that wait for prompts, Agent ONE Coworker operates proactively, presenting insights within workflows and guiding decision-making. Its "Nudge" feature provides timely and context-based recommendations, translating insights into immediate actions.
For example, it can detect increased Wi-Fi congestion in schools and recommend or automatically apply fixes, or identify recurring POS delays in retail stores and suggest prioritizing traffic during peak hours, thus transforming patterns into actionable decisions.
Features provided by Agent ONE Coworker:
· Interactive access to network data, documents, and security insights
· Automated support workflows covering case creation to resolution
· On-demand real-time dashboards built on live data
· AI-driven Wi-Fi optimization with interactive controls
· Proactive insights via "Nudge" – presenting issues and recommendations based on urgency and context
Agent ONE Operator: Always-On Autonomous Network Operations
Additionally, the second mode of Agent ONE, Agent ONE Operator, is scheduled to be available in Q4 2026 (October-December). Agent ONE Operator is an always-on autonomous agent designed to extend AI from real-time interactions to continuous network operations.
Agent ONE Operator autonomously executes tasks within defined governance boundaries, responds to events in real-time, and performs scheduled workflows without requiring continuous human intervention. It continuously learns from each interaction and its results, becoming more accurate and effective over time.
This evolution signifies a shift from on-the-spot AI assistance to continuously operating AI. It ensures that the network is constantly monitored, optimized, and improved, even when IT teams are not continuously engaged.
