With the new Agentic Hub, Rabobank brings together knowledge, technical development, practical application and evolving ways of working. This enables Rabobank to apply agentic AI faster and at greater scale, within the frameworks for quality, security and compliance.
Rabobank has established the Agentic Hub to deploy AI agents in software development in a responsible and efficient way. AI agents can support engineers with specific tasks, such as preparing, building, testing or reviewing software. The Agentic Hub brings together knowledge, practical experience and reusable building blocks. This gives teams more guidance in developing and applying AI agents, while engineers remain in control of decisions, quality and outcomes. The Agentic Hub is part of Rabobank’s broader AI strategy to develop AI into a core capability. With over 1,100 teams working on software development within Rabobank, a shared approach is important. The Agentic Hub helps ensure that successful applications do not need to be reinvented by each team, but can be made available more broadly.
More than technology alone
The Agentic Hub is not only about new technology. The Hub brings together technology, adoption, context, and transformation. The use of AI agents will not replace the role of engineers but will further develop it: from writing code to defining objectives and desired outcomes, setting parameters, and validating results. This shift calls for new skills and new ways of working. The transformation around software development is led by Myrna Vonk, Transformation Lead of the Agentic Hub. She provides direction for the broader change this development requires. Myrna Vonk: “AI is changing not only how we build software, but also how engineers collaborate and organise their work. If that change is not deliberately organised, it will remain a series of isolated experiments. AI calls for sharper choices, different forms of collaboration and a renewed way of developing.”
Responsible application in practice
Quality, security and governance are crucial and are incorporated from the outset in the development of AI applications. In this way, the Agentic Hub helps teams to experiment responsibly, learn and bring proven applications into practice within clear Rabobank frameworks. AI agents thus become part of day-to-day software development in a safe and controlled way.
