Dun & Bradstreet (D&B) has launched D&B.AI™, a comprehensive suite of enterprise AI capabilities designed to anchor Generative AI (Gen AI) agents in trusted, verified commercial data. The new suite is built on the foundation of D&B's expansive Data Cloud and leverages the global standard D-U-N-S® Number to ensure the accuracy and reliability of outputs from large language models (LLMs). By providing a layer of verification through trusted business identifiers, D&B.AI empowers organizations to confidently deploy AI agents across various enterprise platforms and ecosystems, marking a significant step towards an "agentic future" for knowledge work.
Dun & Bradstreet (D&B) launched D&B.AI™, a new suite of enterprise AI and Generative AI (Gen AI) capabilities.
The suite helps organizations build and deploy Gen AI agents grounded in verified company information.
D&B.AI uses the global standard D-U-N-S® Number to anchor and ensure the accuracy and reliability of outputs from LLMs.
Core components include ChatD&B™ (a natural language interface), purpose-built D&B.AI Agents for key workflows (e.g., credit risk, compliance), and Agent-to-Agent (A2A) options.
The capabilities are powered by the Dun & Bradstreet Data Cloud, which contains insights on over 600 million businesses.
D&B positions the launch as an inflection point in the shift toward "agentic" AI that runs on trusted data for reliable decision-making.
The primary challenge for enterprises adopting Generative AI (Gen AI) and Large Language Models (LLMs) is often ensuring the accuracy and trustworthiness of the output. The D&B.AI suite directly addresses this by grounding Gen AI agents in the world's most comprehensive source of business data: the Dun & Bradstreet Data Cloud. A critical component of this strategy is the use of the D-U-N-S® Number. This globally recognized, unique nine-digit business identifier is leveraged to anchor outputs from LLMs, which helps to ensure the information is accurate, reliable, and verified. By embedding this trusted business identifier into their Gen AI systems, D&B empowers customers to seamlessly and confidently connect their AI agents across various enterprise systems and platforms, a necessity for truly integrated enterprise knowledge work.
Dun & Bradstreet is positioning itself as a leader in the next generation of AI adoption by delivering several cutting-edge capabilities that facilitate an agentic future. The new suite consists of multiple tools designed to simplify access to D&B's data and integrate it directly into critical business workflows:
ChatD&B™: This feature acts as a Unified Prompt Interface (UPI), allowing users to tap into the vast array of Dun & Bradstreet capabilities and data using a single natural language processing prompt.
Purpose-built D&B.AI Agents: D&B has developed the first wave of specialized AI agents tailored for high-value knowledge workflows. These agents address core business functions, including credit risk, supplier evaluation, regulatory compliance, and targeted sales and marketing activities.
Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers: These servers provide a standardized method of access to the underlying "Agent Ready Data" and "Agent Ready Answers" from Dun & Bradstreet, ensuring the data fed to the AI models is consistently structured and actionable.
Agent-to-Agent (A2A) options: Built on Google's open-source framework, these options enable direct, secure communication and collaboration between different AI agents. A key solution in this framework is the D&B.AI Match Agent, which supplies the D-U-N-S Number across multi-agent workflows to establish a crucial layer of verification and facilitate seamless data integration across systems.
These capabilities are designed to be available where clients need them, integrating via hyperscalers, data platforms, and enterprise software solutions through D&B's extensive partner ecosystem.
The CEO of Dun & Bradstreet, Steve Tulenko, highlighted the significance of this launch: “The next wave of AI is agentic, and it runs on trusted data. With D&B.AI, we're fusing verified commercial insight with orchestration tools that let agents plan, reason, and act reliably. This is an inflection point: our capabilities become a platform your people and your agents can build on with confidence.”
