Alex Mannine is the technical architect behind Pyra's AI agent platform. With 10+ years building AI platforms that have driven $100M+ in revenue, Alex designs the bounded, auditable agent systems Pyra deploys in production — including Kai (PTC's AI agent), Hunter AI, and the RFP/RFQ Response Agent — and technically reviews Pyra's engineering-heavy content.
The Pacific Telecommunications Council's 24/7 AI agent, built with PTC's leadership team and live at ptc.org/kai. Guardrails first, trained on PTC's own content, and rolled out in two stages from PTC'DC 2026 to PTC'27.
A controlled knowledge agent trained on decades of telecom infrastructure expertise. Designed to answer only within its approved knowledge base — and to decline when it doesn't know.
Reads incoming RFPs, matches requirements against winning proposals and pricing, and delivers a ready-to-send draft in minutes — with expert sign-off before anything leaves the building.
