Agentic AI is rapidly reshaping enterprise data engineering by transforming passive infrastructure into intelligent systems capable of acting, adapting, and automating operations at scale. This new paradigm embeds intelligence, governance, and automation directly into modern data stacks, allowing for autonomous decision-making and real-time action across various industries. According to Dave Vellante, co-founder and chief analyst at theCUBE Research, the value is moving up the stack, emphasizing the shift towards open formats like Apache Iceberg, which allows for greater integration of proprietary functionalities into the open world.
The rise of agentic AI is also evident in the healthcare sector, where it's already being implemented in areas like triage, care coordination, and clinical decision-making. Unlike generative AI, which waits for instructions, agentic AI creates and follows its own instructions within set boundaries, acting as an autonomous decision-maker. This is enabling healthcare organizations to optimize workflows, manage complex tasks, and execute multi-step care protocols without constant human intervention, improving efficiency and patient care. Bold CIOs in healthcare are already leveraging agentic AI to gain a competitive advantage, demonstrating its practical application beyond mere experimentation. To further simplify the deployment of AI agents, Accenture has introduced its Distiller Framework, a platform designed to help developers build, deploy, and scale advanced AI agents rapidly. This framework encapsulates essential components across the entire agent lifecycle, including agent memory management, multi-agent collaboration, workflow management, model customization, and governance. Lyzr Agent Studio is another platform which helps to build end-to-end agentic workflows by automating complex tasks, integrating enterprise systems, and deploying production-ready AI agents. This addresses the current challenge of scaling AI initiatives beyond small-scale experiments and accelerates the adoption of agentic AI across various industries.

Databricks has unveiled Agent Bricks, a new tool designed to streamline the development and deployment of enterprise AI agents. Built on Databricks' Mosaic AI platform, Agent Bricks automates the optimization and evaluation of these agents, addressing the common challenges that prevent many AI projects from reaching production. The tool utilizes large language models (LLMs) as "judges" to assess the reliability of task-specific agents, eliminating manual processes that are often slow, inconsistent, and difficult to scale. Jonathan Frankle, chief AI scientist of Databricks Inc., described Agent Bricks as a generalization of the best practices and techniques observed across various verticals, reflecting how Databricks believes agents should be built.
Agent Bricks originated from the need of Databricks' customers to effectively evaluate their AI agents. Ensuring reliability involves defining clear criteria and practices for comparing agent performance. According to Frankle, AI's inherent unpredictability makes LLM judges crucial for determining when an agent is functioning correctly. This requires ensuring that the LLM judge understands the intended purpose and measurement criteria, essentially aligning the LLM's judgment with that of a human judge. The goal is to create a scaled reinforcement learning system where judges can train an agent to behave as developers intend, reducing the reliance on manually labeled data. Databricks' new features aim to simplify AI development by using AI to build agents and the pipelines that feed them. Fueled by user feedback, these features include a framework for automating agent building and a no-code interface for creating pipelines for applications. Kevin Petrie, an analyst at BARC U.S., noted that these announcements help Databricks users apply AI and GenAI applications to their proprietary data sets, thereby gaining a competitive advantage. Agent Bricks is currently in beta testing and helps users avoid the trap of "vibe coding" by forcing rigorous testing and evaluation until the model is extremely reliable.

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.
