AI agents are transforming enterprise operations with automated workflows to drive efficiency, improve customer experiences, and accelerate innovation. But the real challenge isn’t building better models – it’s data infrastructure, as agents are only as effective as the data they can access. How do you ensure data readiness and turn agents from brittle demos into production-ready multi-agent systems? Streaming Agents enable you to create event-driven agents that act as eyes and ears of business, using fresh contextualized data to continuously monitor and act on live operational events, automating valuable use cases that save time and costs.

Join AI experts Sean Falconer and Brenner Heintz as they walk through a Streaming Agents tutorial using Flink, Claude LLM, Anthropic’s Model Context Protocol (MCP), embeddings and vector search for agentic RAG with MongoDB.
