Confluent Intelligence Expands with Agent Orchestration and Anomaly Detection

Confluent has announced new capabilities within Confluent Intelligence, its fully managed service for building real-time AI systems on Confluent Cloud. The release introduces two additions: Streaming Agents, which use the Agent2Agent (A2A) protocol to connect and coordinate AI agents across enterprise systems using real-time data streams, and Multivariate Anomaly Detection, a built-in ML function that analyzes multiple metrics jointly to detect complex anomalies with fewer false positives.
