What Our Users Say

Prompt engineering is at the heart of agent behavior. The fact that Orkes Conductor treats prompts as first-class citizens shows us you're serious about building for real-world AI orchestration.

Mehdi Fassaie

AI lead

At Naveo, we see agentic orchestration not as incremental innovation but as a structural leap forward. Our partnership with Orkes will redefine how order and warehouse management is delivered for the next decade.

Jamie Goldring

CEO

Orkes Conductor empowers Tafi to design, orchestrate, and scale workflows with remarkable speed and reliability, enabling us to deliver innovative fintech solutions to our customers faster.

Ruben Abadi

Co-Founder

At Summation, we use Orkes Conductor as the backbone of our workflow engine to orchestrate financial modeling workloads.

Ramachandran R

Co-Founder, CTO

Our DevOps Architects don't have to spend 95% of their time managing OSS conductor; they can focus on creating new services and features.

Andy French

AVP of Platform Automation

Thanks to Orkes Conductor, we can continue to focus on building our workflows. And because it's all hosted in Orkes Cloud, we don't have to think about building and maintaining the orchestration engine ourselves.

Chintan Shah

VP of Engineering

We've implemented Orkes Workflow to orchestrate complex, multi-step processes across our distributed systems.

Saini Parminder

CTO

Orkes has been a great partner—very responsive and supportive in resolving issues quickly. Their robust platform and collaborative team have helped us accelerate project delivery.

Kishore Pocham

Engineer, Software III

To me as CTO, spending time building infrastructure is a waste of time. I don’t want my team building connections, monitors, or logging when there’s infrastructure already in place.

Andres Garcia

Chief Technology Officer

Orkes has been instrumental in increasing developer agility, creating cost efficiencies, and building highly reliable and secure applications.

Thisara Alawala

Technical Architect

Orkes Conductor has become a cornerstone of our media supply chain automation at FooEngine. Its flexibility lets us orchestrate complex workflows without sacrificing reliability.

Arran Corbett

Chief Technology Officer

Our use cases range from managing human tasks, to generating contracts, to handling financial transactions—and even with our complex, niche institutional rules, Orkes just works.
