Palantir AIP Consulting & Implementation

Palantir AIP put to work on your ontology: governed agents with a defined action set, human approval where the risk warrants it, and logging on every call.

Definition

What is Palantir AIP?

Palantir AIP is the artificial intelligence layer of the Palantir platform: it connects large language models to the Foundry ontology so AI can read enterprise context, reason over live operations, and take governed actions. Deployed well, AIP turns AI from a chat window into an operator. BD Emerson deploys AIP through forward deployed engineering: our engineers embed with your teams, build agents against production workflows, and configure the evaluation, permissions, and audit that make enterprise AI defensible.

AIP agent development

We design and ship AIP agents for real workflows: triage, scheduling, exception handling, document processing, and operational Q&A, each grounded in the ontology and constrained by explicit action permissions.

Ontology grounding

Agents are only as good as the context they stand on. We extend the ontology so AIP retrieves the right objects, respects data permissions, and acts through defined action types.

Evaluation and guardrails

Evals, test suites, and human-in-the-loop checkpoints sized to the risk of each workflow. Agents earn autonomy incrementally, with evidence.

How we deliver

AIP work is delivered by forward deployed engineers, which means our engineers build inside your environment, against your data, alongside your staff, and hand the result over when it works. That is the whole delivery model, and it is the only thing you need to know about it to start.

AI governance and security

Model access, prompt and output logging, data boundaries, and change control mapped to your AI policy, NIST AI RMF, and ISO 42001 expectations. Security review is built into every agent's path to production.

Use case pipeline

We run the intake, scoring, and sequencing that keeps AI investment pointed at value: a governed backlog of agent candidates ranked by impact, risk, and data readiness.

Our approach

Our approach

01

Pick a workflow, not a model

The first agent targets one operational workflow with a measurable baseline. Model choice follows the problem.

02

Ground before you generate

Ontology, permissions, and retrieval come first, so agent output is anchored in governed enterprise context rather than model memory.

03

Gate autonomy with evidence

Every agent starts supervised. Autonomy expands as evals and production history justify it, one action type at a time.

04

Industrialize the pattern

Once the first agents hold, we template the delivery: shared evals, reusable actions, governance checkpoints, and a growing internal team.

05

Evidence for every call

Prompts, retrieved context, actions taken, and approvals are logged per call. When someone asks why the agent did that, the record answers.

06

Start read-only

The first release reads and recommends. Write actions turn on one at a time, each behind an approval step, once evaluation results justify the change.

07

Map to a framework early

Agent controls are mapped to ISO 42001 or the NIST AI Risk Management Framework while the build happens, so the governance review becomes a read rather than a rebuild.

Our Advantage

Why BD Emerson for Palantir AIP

Embedded, not advisory

Forward deployed engineers ship working agents in your environment. The engagement is measured in production workflows, not maturity models.

Governance-grade AI

BD Emerson runs AI governance, security, and compliance programs, including ISO 42001. Your agents launch with the controls your risk team would have demanded anyway.

From pilot to platform

We turn one successful agent into a repeatable delivery system: patterns, evals, and trained internal builders.

No license resale, no margin

BD Emerson does not resell Palantir licenses. You buy AIP from Palantir and delivery from us, so our view on how many agents you actually need carries no commercial bias.

Delivery model

How the AIP work gets delivered

AIP work is staffed with engineers who sit with the people doing the task, build against their workflow, and stay through production. The reading below covers the role, the platform underneath it, and the rest of our Palantir services.
What is a forward deployed engineer?
The role Palantir made common, and what it looks like on an engagement. An engineer works next to your operators, learns the workflow in detail, and ships against it rather than taking requirements through a ticket queue. Read this to see how we staff AIP builds.
Palantir Foundry implementation
AIP agents need an ontology with real objects behind them, and that is Foundry work. This page covers connectors, pipelines, ontology modeling, and Workshop applications, plus the 6 to 12 week arc that produces the first one.

We had a hard time finding the right company to partner with in support of our compliance journey. Some vendors sell the idea that they do the work, but then you end up doing everything. The ambiguity is what killed our last project. BD Emerson’s team has such great technical knowledge and understands the standard so well that they made us comfortable with moving fast. This has led to us closing major enterprise customers that were previously out of reach because of security and compliance.

Tom Watkins

CEO @ AMI AssetTrack

Lead an enterprise initiative to overhaul the organization's technology stack from ecommerce, corporate tech, and corporate security.

Supported ISO 42001 exercise and served as internal auditor.

Rubrik's privacy and compliance team began with the backbone of BD Emerson. BD Emerson supported building out the privacy program, GRC (ISO 27001, SOC 2, CMMC, FedRAMP), and the appsec function.

We needed a partner who could move quickly, without sacrificing precision. BD Emerson brought the expertise, structure, and speed we were looking for. Their team became an extension of ours, embedding themselves across the organization, guiding us step by step, and giving us confidence in areas we hadn’t tackled before. The internal audit they conducted was so detailed that even the external auditors called it out. Achieving ISO 27001 with zero nonconformities says everything you need to know about the quality of the partnership.
