Reply (ISIN IT0005282865) unveiled the LEA AI Agent Authority Model on October 5, 2026, with Business Wire reporting that the framework assigns AI agents different authority levels for warehouse tasks. Reply stock was trading at EUR 125.70 at Lang & Schwarz on October 6, 2026 at 11:12 a.m. CEST, up 1.86 percent versus the prior close of EUR 123.40.

Five agents go live

The framework combines four stages of organizational AI maturity with five authority levels: Inform, Recommend, Act, Coordinate and Governed Autonomy. Five pre-built agents became available on October 5, 2026, covering stock shortages, labor distribution, inventory classification, dock scheduling and delayed warehouse tasks.

The commercial point is controlled deployment rather than maximum autonomy. The agents use delegated authority and human oversight suited to each task, giving Reply a concrete operating layer for customers moving AI from experimentation into warehouse execution.
