Databricks has unveiled Agent Bricks, a no-code AI agent builder designed to streamline the development and deployment of enterprise AI agents. Built on Databricks’ Mosaic AI platform, Agent Bricks aims to address the challenge of AI agents failing to reach production due to slow, inconsistent, and difficult-to-scale manual evaluation processes. The platform allows users to request task-specific agents and then automatically generates a series of large language model (LLM) "judges" to assess the agent's reliability. This automation is intended to optimize and evaluate enterprise AI agents, reducing reliance on manual vibe tracking and improving confidence in production-ready deployments.
Agent Bricks incorporates research-backed innovations, including Test-time Adaptive Optimization (TAO), which enables AI tuning without labeled data. Additionally, the platform generates domain-specific synthetic data, creates task-aware benchmarks, and optimizes the balance between quality and cost without manual intervention. Jonathan Frankle, Chief AI Scientist of Databricks Inc., emphasized that Agent Bricks embodies the best engineering practices, styles, and techniques observed in successful agent development, reflecting Databricks' philosophical approach to building agents that are reliable and effective.
The development of Agent Bricks was driven by customer needs to evaluate their agents effectively. Frankle explained that AI's unpredictable nature necessitates LLM judges to evaluate agent performance against defined criteria and practices. Databricks has essentially created scaled reinforcement learning, where judges can train an agent to behave as desired by developers, reducing the reliance on labeled data. Hanlin Tang, Databricks’ Chief Technology Officer of Neural Networks, noted that Agent Bricks aims to give users the confidence to take their AI agents into production.
