Customers "rave about the business value..." — and the evaluation scored C3 AI highest in the current offering category
C3 AI (NYSE: AI), the Enterprise AI application software company, announced it was recognized as a Leader by Forrester Research in its recent report , The Forrester Wave™: AI Platforms, Q3 2026 — with the highest score in the current offering category of all 15 providers evaluated.
Forrester evaluated the C3 Agentic AI Platform , the end-to-end platform for developing, deploying, and operating Enterprise AI applications and agents. It models the entire enterprise as a single unified ontology graph, so every application and every agent draws on one source of truth. That foundation underpins C3 AI's turnkey application portfolio, including C3 AI Reliability , C3 AI Demand Planning , C3 AI Process Optimization , and C3 AI Inventory Optimization . It also powers C3 AI Agentic Process Automation , which puts autonomous agents to work on business and operational processes, and C3 Code , which generates production-grade applications from natural language.
"The engineers at C3 AI invented the concept of Enterprise AI; they invented model-driven architecture; they invented agentic AI; it is gratifying to see them recognized for their great accomplishment — the C3 Agentic AI Platform," said Thomas M. Siebel, CEO, C3 AI.
C3 AI received the highest scores possible in eight criteria:
- Data modeling : One governed model of the entire enterprise — the ontology every application and agent works from.
- Agent development : Build and orchestrate multi-agent systems that execute business and operational processes.
- AppGen tools : C3 Code generates production-grade applications from natural language, interfaces and workflows included.
- Cohesive experience : One environment from data modeling through agent deployment.
- Governance controls : Unified policy, risk, and compliance controls that govern every agent in production.
- Platform management : Cost controls that tie agent and model spend to business outcomes.
- Security certifications : SOC 2, ISO, and FedRAMP, with deployments at the highest security levels.
- Supporting services and offerings : Turnkey applications, dozens of solution accelerators, and "white glove" implementation.
C3 AI also received above-average customer feedback in the evaluation. "Customers rave about the business value of the use cases they've implemented and C3 AI's ‘white glove' implementation and ongoing service," the report states.
