Veeva Systems has announced Veeva AI, a new initiative that adds artificial intelligence to the Veeva Vault Platform and Veeva applications to help life sciences companies automate tasks and improve employee productivity using AI Agents and AI Shortcuts.

Veeva AI provides a fast and efficient way to introduce application-specific AI Agents based on large language models (LLMs) into existing Veeva applications and enable end users with AI Shortcuts. Veeva AI will work in all Veeva applications across all major areas, including clinical, regulatory, safety, quality, medical, and commercial.

“GenAI is a new computing paradigm that will significantly increase productivity for knowledge workers,” said Veeva CEO Peter Gassner. “Core applications give you structured data, business rules and workflow. They execute with the speed, consistency, and scale we expect from computers. GenAI brings the more human-like ability to derive answers and insights from ambiguous situations that deal with language, context, and broad-based knowledge. Core applications and GenAI working seamlessly together will bring significant productivity gains.”

Veeva AI is LLM agnostic and will support most major large language models. Customers may use a Veeva-supplied LLM or configure Veeva AI to use a customer-specific LLM. Regardless of deployment or which LLM is used by a customer, Veeva AI keeps customer data secure for each customer.

“Our customers depend on Veeva applications for some of their most critical industry-specific processes from clinical to commercial. They want to use AI to improve productivity and ultimately get treatments to patients faster,” Gassner continued. “Adding Veeva AI to our core applications will help make AI simple, secure, and compliant for life sciences companies of all sizes.”

The first release of Veeva AI is planned for December 2025 and will be licensed at the Vault level with a simple and reasonable subscription fee to encourage industry adoption that is both broad and thoughtful.
