Adept, the enterprise AI agent platform that's been in our honorable mentions tier, relaunched as V2 this week. The relaunch sharpens Adept's positioning around regulated industries — financial services, healthcare, and government — where compliance requirements make general-purpose agents unsuitable.
What's new in V2
- Compliance-first architecture. V2 is built around enterprise compliance requirements — SOC 2 Type II, HIPAA, FedRAMP, and EU data residency.
- On-premise deployment. Enterprises can now deploy Adept entirely on-premise, with no data leaving their infrastructure.
- Improved audit logging. Comprehensive logging that meets financial and healthcare regulatory requirements.
- Human-in-the-loop workflows. Configurable approval workflows for every action type, with full audit trails.
- Custom model support. Enterprises can use their own fine-tuned models or open-source models like Llama 4.
Pricing
Adept V2 is enterprise-only, with custom pricing based on deployment size and requirements. Based on our conversations with Adept, expect $50,000-200,000/year for mid-market deployments and $500,000+ for large enterprises. This positions Adept well above consumer platforms but in line with other enterprise agent solutions.
Our take
The V2 relaunch addresses the main criticism we had of Adept: it was too generic to compete in any specific segment. By focusing on regulated industries, Adept carves out a defensible niche where general-purpose agents can't compete. For enterprises in financial services, healthcare, or government that need on-premise deployment and comprehensive compliance, Adept V2 is worth evaluating.
For everyone else, Adept V2 is probably overkill. The compliance features add cost and complexity that smaller organizations don't need. See our 2026 ranking for more appropriate options.
