Confluent, Inc., a leader in data streaming, has launched Confluent Intelligence. This unified platform is built on Confluent Cloud. It aims to support context-rich, real-time AI systems at scale. The platform lets businesses stream and process historical and live data continuously. This provides the context AI models need for reliable, secure, and scalable results. “Good AI needs good data. Confluent is our trusted source of truth, streaming high-quality data to our data lakes and AI platforms to train models in real time,” said Atilio Ranzuglia, Head of Data and AI at Palmerston North City Council.

Addressing the industry’s biggest challenge—AI’s lack of contextual understanding—Confluent Intelligence offers capabilities like the Real-Time Context Engine, Streaming Agents, and built-in ML functions for event-driven automation and analytics. “Off-the-shelf models are powerful, but without the continuous flow of data, they can’t deliver decisions that are timely and uniquely valuable to a business,” said Jay Kreps, Co-founder and CEO of Confluent. Deepening its collaboration with Anthropic, Confluent will also integrate Claude as the default large language model for its Streaming Agents, empowering enterprises to build adaptive, context-aware AI applications that deliver real-time, business-critical insights.
