Appian announced the general availability of its new AI‑powered Agent Studio and the low‑code Composer platform, and it upgraded its Data Fabric to support up to 50 million rows and five‑times faster write throughput, adding transparent encryption for enhanced security.
Agent Studio, which was in beta earlier this year, received unanimous praise from participants—100 % of beta users described the tool as “intuitive or very intuitive.” The agents can ingest unstructured data from multiple sources, reason in real time, and adjust actions while preserving full process context and governance, giving regulated customers auditability and compliance.
Composer, now generally available, has already been adopted by more than 130 organizations that have built over 1,300 applications. The platform’s AI‑guided design experience lowers the barrier to entry for non‑technical users and accelerates modernization of legacy systems.
The Data Fabric upgrade is a key enabler for both products. By supporting 50 million rows and delivering five‑times faster write throughput, the fabric can handle the increased data volume and velocity that AI workloads demand, while the new encryption layer protects sensitive enterprise data.
Appian’s Q3 2025 earnings, released on November 6, underscored the commercial impact of these initiatives. Revenue rose 21.4 % year‑over‑year to $187 million, and adjusted EPS of $0.32 beat analyst expectations of $0.05—a $0.27 or 540 % beat—thanks to strong demand for AI‑enabled process automation and disciplined cost management. The company’s CEO noted that over 25 % of its customer base now pays for Appian AI, and that seven‑figure software deals grew 50 % year‑over‑year.
Analysts responded to the earnings beat and the new product launches by raising price targets. Morgan Stanley lifted its target to $45.00, and Barclays increased its target to $37.00. The stock reached a new 52‑week high, reflecting investor confidence in Appian’s AI strategy and its ability to convert platform adoption into recurring revenue.
Strategically, embedding AI directly into the platform differentiates Appian from competitors that offer more fragmented solutions. The company’s focus on governance, auditability, and compliance positions it well for regulated industries, while the upmarket strategy—capturing larger, higher‑margin deals—supports subscription growth.
In sum, the launch of Agent Studio and Composer, coupled with the Data Fabric upgrade, positions Appian to accelerate AI adoption across its customer base, deepen subscription revenue streams, and reinforce its “process company” differentiation by delivering end‑to‑end AI‑in‑process automation at scale.
