Agents are only as good as the context they run on – and many fall short because of stale, siloed data and unscalable frameworks. With Confluent and Databricks, agents are event-driven and replayable by design, use fresh contextualized data to optimize decision-making and outputs, and are built on fully managed platforms with proven security, governance, and reliability. Learn how data streaming and Databricks together provide a complete foundation for agents that can learn, act, and adapt on live context at enterprise scale – making intelligent automation finally production ready.

Join AI experts Sean Falconer, Britton LaRoche, and Brenner Heintz as they walk through an agentic AI tutorial and operationalize the vision of agent-powered use cases.
