Executive functions
What are executive functions?
Executive functions are the high-level reasoning abilities that manage planning, prioritisation, evaluation and goal-directed behaviour. They mirror human cognitive skills like judgment and self regulation.
How are executive functions used in Decidr?
We use executive functions as the blueprint for how agentic apps make decisions. Apps evaluate goals, assess options, consider constraints and choose actions just as a skilled operator would — but with more consistency and speed.
Why it matters for your business
Your AI gains judgment, not just automation. This leads to better decisions, fewer errors and workflows that feel more human and more intelligent.
What it looks like
Executive functions appear in behaviours like:
- Prioritising the highest-impact work
- Pausing actions when data is incomplete
- Evaluating trade-offs across multiple goals
In short...
Executive functions give your apps the cognitive depth to act with intention, not just efficiency.
