Managed Inference

Managed Inference and Agents simplifies AI integration by providing access to powerful foundation models, including text, embedding, and diffusion models. Easily attach model resources to your Heroku app, and the add-on will automatically configure environment variables, enabling seamless API calls. Invoke models using the CLI plug-in or with API endpoints.

Agents

Extend Agents with tools that allow Large Language Models (LLMs) to execute actions within Heroku’s trusted environment. Deploy autonomous agents that can call APIs, run code, or interact with your app through tools like code_exec, http, or custom ones. Move from prototyping to production with optimized inference latency and minimal infrastructure management.

Model Context protocol

The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open standard that helps you extend Agents by connecting large language models to tools, services, and data sources. You can bring your own custom tools by deploying them as a heroku app and registering them by attaching the addon. Access all you mcp servers through a single toolkit.

Use Cases

Text Generation & Chat Use models like Claude-Sonnet to generate text, write code, or chat intelligently.

Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) Bring your own data to power LLMs with up-to-date, domain-specific knowledge.

Personalize User Experiences: Leverage agents to deliver tailored content, recommendations, or support.

Data Analysis and Business Intelligence: Deploy agents that can analyze large datasets, identify trends, generate reports, and provide actionable insights.

Automate Complex Workflows and Tasks: Use agents to automate multi-step processes within your business.
