Boomi Unveils Agentstudio: Pioneering the Era of AI-Driven Automation

AI agents drive Boomi's vision for scalable automation - SiliconANGLE

Boomi enables AI agents with support for MCP and new integration tools Boomi LP was not necessarily the first company to talk convincingly about the future of AI agents, but it could be safely said that agents were a major topic of discussion at its annual conference one year ago. Today, agentic AI is one of the hot button topics in the tech world, and Boomi has framed the discussion around an "era of AI-driven automation." Boomi's customers have deployed 33,000 AI agents to date, and organizations are beginning to deploy automation that goes beyond simple tasks. "We started off with people saying last year, 'Oh agents? OK, well that's interesting,' to this year being like, 'I'm so sick of agents, but I still don't know how to use them,'" said Matt McLarty (pictured), chief technology officer of Boomi. "A lot of what we're putting out here is a simple-to-use platform that allows you to build your agents, build tools that can be used by agents, but also here's examples of agents that you can actually build with the platform." McLarty spoke with theCUBE's Savannah Peterson and Paul Nashawaty at Boomi World, during an exclusive broadcast on theCUBE, SiliconANGLE Media's livestreaming studio. They discussed interest in AI agents and the tools customers will need to build them. (* Disclosure below.) To build on the wave of interest in AI agents, Boomi announced support this week for Model Context Protocol, or MCP, a standardized open-source interface for integrating large language models with external data. The potential for a standardized interface in the rapidly changing AI arena is generating interest around MCP, according to McLarty. "I asked the room yesterday, 'How many people have heard of MCP, and all the hands went up,'" McLarty said. "I asked, 'How many people had heard of MCP four months ago?' And a few hipsters put up their hands. The reason there's so much excitement around MCP isn't because it's the greatest protocol, but it's the promise of MCP. It's, 'Hey, you can connect to all your services in one place and it's this big normalizing thing.'" Boomi also announced new services and integration tools that customers can use to automate data pipeline creation and accelerate analytics. The latest releases were in keeping with the firm's vision as an integration "platform-as-a-service" and role in facilitating operations for enterprise IT. "With Boomi, we've always been about interoperability and being shock absorbers in the enterprise architecture," McLarty said.

LTIMindtree dives into agentic AI solutions with Boomi - SiliconANGLE

LTIMindtree Ltd. and Boomi LP see a world where calls to one's insurance provider are handled by robots. Boomi has partnered with LTIMindtree, a global consulting and information technology firm based in India, to reap the benefits of agentic artificial intelligence, including customized agents and realistic voice AI. "Agentic AI for us is not just the flavor of the season," said Ramesh Revuru (pictured, left), global head production engineering and services for agentic AI at LTIMindtree. "When you look at agentic AI, while it is using the capabilities of generative AI underlying, it is also about how do you sense information from different applications ... and that's where what Boomi brings to the table becomes extremely, extremely significant." Revuru and Dan McAllister (right), senior vice president of global alliances and channels at Boomi, spoke with theCUBE's Savannah Peterson and Paul Nashawaty at Boomi World, during an exclusive broadcast on theCUBE, SiliconANGLE Media's livestreaming studio. They discussed their collaboration and the potential of agentic AI. (* Disclosure below.) At Boomi World, Boomi announced general availability for Boomi Agentstudio, which includes an Agent Designer for creating and deploying agents and an Agent Control Tower for monitoring them. LTIMindtree has been hard at work incorporating these capabilities into its business use cases. "Let's say your car is hit by an accident and you want to claim insurance," Revuru said. "When you call, there are different components of agentic AI, generative AI that get involved there. There is a vision AI, meaning somebody is looking at the car and then trying to assess what the damage could be. There is a voice AI, meaning somebody is calling the contact center, and hence you want agents that can act like humans and solve for it." The partnership has so far proved fruitful. Revuru highlighted the ease with which users can create custom agents through Boomi's Agent Designer, while McAllister pointed to LTIMindtree's eagerness to take advantage of new tools in the Boomi stack. "As soon as we had the technology available, they were already incorporating it into the business cases and the use cases that they see their customers wanting to produce real value that customers can achieve right away," McAllister said. "As soon as we dream up technology, they're already putting it into practice with customers." Here's the complete video interview, part of SiliconANGLE's and theCUBE's coverage of Boomi World:

Boomi's agent environment becomes widely available - SiliconANGLE

Boomi LP is sharpening its focus on the agent environment with a new line of artificial intelligence tools aimed at governance and customization. Over the past year, the integration-platform-as-a-service company has expanded on its application programming interface management tools with agentic AI offerings. "We feel really passionate about the importance of actually not just putting AI into users' hands and allowing them to use it, but actually giving them the tools to govern and oversee their sort of agents and their agent environment," said Alison Biggan (pictured), chief marketing officer of Boomi. "The real opportunity is to make sure you have a solid platform underneath good data foundation ... and you're in a position where you can actually manage and govern it across your company." Biggan spoke with theCUBE's Savannah Peterson and Paul Nashawaty at Boomi World, during an exclusive broadcast on theCUBE, SiliconANGLE Media's livestreaming studio. They discussed what's next for agentic AI and Boomi's growing profile in the enterprise world. (* Disclosure below.) This week, Boomi announced general availability for Boomi Agentstudio, which offers multiple tools for governing and designing AI agents. The platform includes Agent Designer for designing custom agents based on no-code templates, and Agent Garden, which allows users to interact with agents using natural language. The latter was on display at the event. "The Agent Garden is bringing one of our big product announcements to life and letting people actually interact with it," Biggan said. "We hope that they go away and back to their companies and they feel educated and empowered." Boomi has grown its presence in enterprise tech over the past year, in part because of its willingness to embrace agentic AI. Brand awareness has gone up by about 40%, which was not an accident, according to Biggan. "We have to be pretty specific and surgical about what we do," she explained. "[We] did a lot of work on what are the messages that were most important to those audiences. They don't actually want to hear what Boomi thinks about Boomi. They want to hear why Boomi can help them solve the problems they have." Here's the complete video interview, part of SiliconANGLE's and theCUBE's coverage of Boomi World:

Agentic AI powered by Boomi Enterprise Platform drives innovation - SiliconANGLE

How the Boomi Enterprise Platform powers agentic AI with agile data management As artificial intelligence evolves, agentic AI is reshaping the landscape with autonomous agents that make decisions, initiate actions and execute complex tasks with minimal human input. To operate effectively, agentic AI needs access to diverse, high-quality data. The Boomi Enterprise Platform supports this need by enabling agile master data management and data imputation, according to Chris Hallenbeck (pictured, left), senior vice president and general manager for AI and platform at Boomi LP. "I think one of the great things we have about the Boomi Platform is we can do really lightweight [master data management] using agents to clean," Hallenbeck said. "I can do data imputation, create the golden records and bring those to bear in that project in a really agile, lightweight way as I'm building out my agents. Data quality is up 10%, and I can build quickly. I don't have to wait for these data products on the data mesh that's promised in two years." Hallenbeck and Shawn Rogers (right), chief executive officer of BARC US, spoke with theCUBE's Savannah Peterson and Paul Nashawaty at Boomi World, during an exclusive broadcast on theCUBE, SiliconANGLE Media's livestreaming studio. They discussed how agentic AI is driving innovation in products and services. (* Disclosure below.) Agentic AI can streamline business processes such as invoice reconciliation and manual journal entries by automating repetitive tasks, reducing human error and providing intelligent decision support. This level of automation relies on context awareness, transparent reasoning and clear goal representation, according to Hallenbeck. "I've seen a lot over time with matching, whether it's trades, goods receipt, invoice reconciliation or manual journal entries," he said. "These are things that stop you from closing the books on time. I have to have a number of accountants based on my high watermark. It slows me [down] from closing the books. With an explainable AI, I can actually make those things run really smoothly and auditable." Because agentic AI relies so heavily on data, issues related to quality, accessibility and orchestration must be carefully managed. Noisy, biased, outdated or incomplete data can lead to poor decisions, according to Rogers. "AI might actually be the forcing factor required for people to slam on the brakes, go backwards two steps and solve some of their data quality and data access and orchestration issues," he said. "If you're going to let autonomous or agentic AI go running and doing really cool stuff with your customers or with your inventory, whatever, you better have your act together." To harness AI effectively and responsibly, organizations must prioritize AI readiness, which is essential for growth, resilience and long-term success in today's evolving digital landscape. Yet despite its importance, AI readiness continues to rank low, according to Rogers. "We do a lot of research at my firm on the industry, and what we're seeing is an 80/20 split, 79/21 split," he said. "Twenty-one percent of the people that are doing AI right now really laid down a very fantastic technology and policy foundation. They're ready to play. They're asking the right questions, they're trying to get in the game. The other folks are trying to figure out what to prioritize. I don't think that holistically, across the vendor landscape, all of the vendors are ready. A lot of them are over-rotating on talking about, 'Do we have 10,000 agents?'" Here's the complete video interview, part of SiliconANGLE's and theCUBE's coverage of Boomi World:

Boomi Agentstudio serves up agentic AI on a platter - SiliconANGLE

Boomi LP's general release of Agentstudio signals that agentic artificial intelligence is the new frontier of AI. The integration-platform-as-a-service company's new platform offers a range of tools for designing, managing and governing AI agents. The goal is to enable users to create agents customized to their business needs, according to Luke Hagstrand, head of enterprise AI at Boomi. "We've been in the age of [application programming interface] sprawl, and now we're getting into agent sprawl," Hagstrand said. "Having a common intranet where everyone can come, they can discover agents, they can get recommendations from us on what they should be using based on their job role ... that's what we're really trying to do: Have this super intelligent system that can make us all superhuman." Hagstrand spoke with theCUBE's Savannah Peterson and Paul Nashawaty at Boomi World, during an exclusive broadcast on theCUBE, SiliconANGLE Media's livestreaming studio. They discussed what Agentstudio, and Boomi as a whole, are bringing to the AI table. (* Disclosure below.) Boomi's Agentstudio supports customers as they learn how to prompt and give context to AI for specific use cases. The launch represents the fruits of Boomi's experiments with agentic AI over the past year, resulting in a platform that provides no-code solutions for designing agents and tools for controlling them. "With Agentstudio now, we just got leveled up in terms of being able to do more agents faster," Hagstrand said. "We don't have to worry about handcrafting all the things around the agents, all that reporting, the audit trails, the guardrails; starting to get that stuff out of the box just helps us go really fast." One of the key issues for agentic AI is security, Hagstrand emphasizes. New threat vectors are constantly emerging, and preventing hallucinations is more critical for certain use cases -- finance, for example -- than others. "Whether we like it or not, the era of AI is here," he said. "We're all experiencing this change at a different pace. So we do have different dynamics across our workforce where some people are seeing lots of value, leaning in experimenting, and we have other areas where we're wait and see."

Boomi leaps on the agentic AI boom to accelerate business automation - SiliconANGLE

Boomi leaps on the agentic AI boom to accelerate business automation Boomi LP is turning to artificial intelligence-powered agents to help simplify complex application and data integration processes, with the end goal being to try and help accelerate business transformation. It's doing this with a new platform called Boomi Agentstudio, announced in general availability today, alongside various other innovations, including support for the open-source Model Context Protocol and a collaboration with Amazon Web Services Inc. that's focused on AI agent orchestration. AI agents have emerged as one of the hottest trends. They're often said to be the next evolution of generative AI, going beyond understanding and answering questions to take actions on behalf of users. AI agents, which can automate all kinds of complex information technology processes, are especially promising in the area of application integration, which explains Boomi's interest in the trend. Boomi, formerly owned by Dell Technologies Inc. and now a standalone company, is widely regarded as a leader in the business of integration. It offers an "integration platform-as-a-service" that helps businesses to connect their applications, data and processes across multiple environments, including clouds and on-premises servers. The company's platform serves as a kind of bridge, enabling the uninterrupted flow of data across these environments. Among other things, companies can use Boomi's integration tools to build more sophisticated apps that tap multiple data sources. The Boomi Agentstudio has been around in beta for a while, where early adopters knew it as the Boomi AI Studio. It's an AI agent lifecycle management platform that provides a no-code interface for designing, building, managing and governing AI agents that take advantage of its widespread integrations. Its AI agents can perform all manner of tasks, such as customer support and expense reporting automation, Boomi said. Boomi's new, multiyear collaboration with AWS means that Boomi Agentstudio can be used to manage and orchestrate AI agents that were built using the popular Amazon Bedrock platform. It's also being integrated with Amazon Q to support the creation of AI agents more rapidly via a low-code interface. The company said its customers have already built more than 33,000 AI agents using Boomi Agentstudio, and now it's offering a suite of its own, prebuilt agents that are capable of automating complex tasks, streamlining business processes and accelerating integration. They're being made available to all Boomi Enterprise customers free of charge. They include a new integration adviser, which helps out by autonomously reviewing integration processes and providing feedback on their efficiency and maintainability. There's also a new application programming interface design agent that can help users to create and edit APIs by automatically generating the required specifications. Others include the API documentation agent that will generate technical documentation for any API, and a data connector agent that can build "connectors" for any REST-based information source, the company said. To further empower its AI agents, Boomi has announced support for the increasingly popular and open-source Model Context Protocol that was first developed by Anthropic PBC. MCP provides a standardized interface for integrating large language models with external data and development tools, so AI applications - including AI agents - can safely retrieve data from external sources and work with third-party tools. Boomi said it's incorporating native MCP support throughout the Boomi Enterprise platform, as a primary protocol for process execution. For instance, the Boomi Agentstudio will leverage MCP to enable agents to search for, discover and use third-party data and tools. Finally, Boomi announced the availability of a new service called Boomi Data Integration. Based on the technology of a company called Rivery Technologies Ltd. that Boomi acquired in December, it enables customers to automate the creation of data pipelines to accelerate data analytics. It will also help to expand the capabilities of AI agents by giving them access to even more data, the company said. Boomi Chief Executive Steve Lucas said the company's agentic AI innovations are part of an effort to help companies deal with overwhelming data sprawl and digital fragmentation. "The future belongs to organizations that can intelligently connect everything and automate anything, and Boomi is the platform that makes it happen," he said.

Boomi World 2025 - CEO Steve Lucas on the organizational "forever problem" of tackling complexity

In this era of AI hype and exaggeration, the annual Boomi World conference in Dallas set out to focus on responsible AI adoption and control, although CEO Steve Lucas opened things up by sharing the keynote stage with robot B1B and a promise: We're here to talk Innovation, AI integration, automation, and orchestration, and I promise you this keynote will be buzzword compliant." Once the robotic scene-stealer left the stage things settled down, and Lucas began by talking about the serious issue of what he called the AI haves and have nots: We are in this incredible moment, and I believe that we're seeing a divide. It's the AI haves and have nots. I worry about the companies, the countries, that have superior AI. I worry about the small companies, the ones that aren't spending billions of dollars on AI research, those companies. How will they compete? I believe that we should be here for everyone that isn't spending billions of dollars on AI, not just to survive in this new era of AI, but thrive. I believe that that is part of our responsibility, and it's an incredible opportunity. As we look at AI's profound benefits, I think the thing that we miss is the human element. Part of Boomi's pitch is that the prospect of AI driven business transformation has raised user expectations, but that being able to control and orchestrate AI will be key. He noted Jensen Huang, CEO of Nvidia has predicted there will be tens of billions of AI agents to worry about, in addition to hundreds of apps, thousands of databases and tens of thousands of APIs companies already use. All of which led Lucas to ask: If there's tens of billions, who's watching, who's managing? What world is that? But he acknowledged that complexity is here to stay: Over the next 24 months people will demand that you have an AI agent that will understand you, your company, what you do, your background, your profile, the decisions you make, and you'll talk to it. There is a ridiculous amount of complexity that sits inside of our organizations today, but we know one universal truth about software, that there will always be more of it and it will be more complex. This is a forever problem. It's not going away. Boomi's approach to all this has evolved from integration, to automation, and now to orchestration, according to Lucas, with trust as the key: I'm not just talking about orchestration of systems. One of the biggest challenges with AI is how we integrate it within our organization. Change only happens at the speed of trust. I know that AI is cool and we want to ignore all the rules, but change only happens at the Speed of Trust. This most definitely applies to AI. A strategic collaboration agreement with Amazon Web Services (AWS), could go some way to fostering this trust. This involves integrating Amazon Bedrock with the Boomi Agent Control Tower to give a centralized management solution for deploying, monitoring, and governing AI agents across hybrid and multi-cloud environments. Lucas explained: We sat down with Amazon and we said, 'Look, we have all these agents running on our customers' platforms, and our customers and partners want to ensure trust by managing and governing agents'. So we partnered and built the world's first at-scale governance platform. Whether you have two agents or 200,000 in your company or 2 million, we can watch the agents. We can understand what they do. We can report on their behavior. Give you dashboards, Insight control, apply policies, and the list goes on and on. Rahul Pathak, VP Data & AI Go-to-Market strategy at AWS, added: We think that agents and generative AI are going to touch every customer experience, every workflow that we have. One of the inherent tensions with generative AI is that AI models are inherently unpredictable to some degree, and businesses love predictability and control. The Control Tower gives the ability to really understand what agents are doing, how they're operating in your business, how you manage and govern them at scale, that breeds trust, that breeds repeatability, and we think that's a key ingredient to driving adoption at scale. Pathak argued that agents are going to be ubiquitous, and it's inevitable that there will be a massive multiplication in the number of agents that are operating: It's not just about the proliferation of agents, but every single agent invocation is something you have to keep track of. I think the need to gather and manage to make sense of agents will be absolutely critical. Data is going to remain a key differentiator, and the need for responsible governance of agents will be critical. I think the need to be able to assert to your customers, and your compliance regimes, that you understand what's happening in your organizations with agents and AI will be critical. Lucas concluded: I believe that we are living in this era of AI driven automation, where every single business process that you have can be enhanced, augmented, accelerated, replaced, improved by AI. My view is that an agent, first and foremost, is software, but it's software that has model data. It's grounded. There's code. And he affirmed that in his view the largest business transformation in history is coming: Every software application will be re-written, the user interface will change entirely, entire software stacks will be built natively around AI. This will all happen. We are not going back. The opportunity is $15 trillion of new money in the next five years." In the year since Boomi launched its six inaugural agents, its customers now use over 33,000 active agents daily. No wonder Lucas says: AI changes everything. You can't go five minutes without a better model, a smaller model, a more efficient one. It's like a cell phone signal, and ridiculously powerful. That will happen with everything. it's just a matter of time now. And while you're waiting and need something to read, Lucas also had a book to plug - Digital Impact - the human elements of AI-driven transformation, in which he highlights customer stories to show how businesses can integrate and automate their systems, and unpacks the problems of digital fragmentation and data complexity.

Multi-agent model systems are on the horizon for Boomi and AWS - SiliconANGLE

Boomi LP and Amazon Web Services Inc. are not only harnessing current artificial intelligence technology, but preparing for a future of multi-agent model systems. Since last year's Boomi World, agentic AI has become the new frontier for enterprise business. Boomi, as an integration-platform-as-a-service company, has been on the cutting-edge of integrating agentic AI into application management, which led to the collaboration with Amazon Web Services Inc. "This is a disruptive AI revolution," said Ann Maya (pictured, left), EMEA chief technology officer of Boomi. "All of these different technology transformations are happening at the same time, so you must have partnerships and collaboration. And it's wonderful that we have leadership that can connect so well. But what happens after that first meeting is really important. It's the execution." Maya and Nicole Bradley, ISV principle account executive at AWS, spoke with theCUBE's Savannah Peterson and Paul Nashawaty at Boomi World, during an exclusive broadcast on theCUBE, SiliconANGLE Media's livestreaming studio. They discussed Amazon and Boomi's joint vision and the potential of agentic AI. (* Disclosure below.) The leaders of both companies have gotten on remarkably well based on a shared desire to maximize agentic AI's potential, according to Bradley and Maya. Boomi Agentstudio, which just received a general release, supports designing and, crucially, governing a team of agents. "We [AWS] innovate massively," Bradley said. "But we can't keep up with all the features and functions and the ease of the UI capability, and that's what Boomi brings to table. It was really the perfect synergy of [Boomi CEO Steve Lucas'] vision, his ability to move fast, his commitment to move fast and our recognition of ... we need to make sure that this agent sprawl doesn't go crazy." The potential of losing control over AI agents has many businesses concerned, so Boomi and AWS are focused on creating a robust management system. Maya foresees rapid growth for agentic AI tools with a corresponding need for the governing tools Boomi offers. "What I think we'll be talking about next year is a lot of multi-agent model systems," she said. "What we're thinking about is if you are able to plug these agents in and then have one agent, different models, different patterns but potentially hierarchical ones that can have a supervisor agent." Here's the complete video interview, part of SiliconANGLE's and theCUBE's coverage of Boomi World:

AI-driven integration a key focus at Boomi World 2025 - SiliconANGLE

Three insights you might have missed from theCUBE's coverage of Boomi World No longer just a future goal, AI-driven integration has become the groundwork for competitive advantage. For Boomi LP, the road ahead involves a platform that powers AI-driven integration, automation and data unification at scale. Boomi's latest announcements at its Boomi World 2025 event in Dallas spotlighted the company's unified, AI-driven platform strategy, designed to make integration, automation and data management smarter, faster and more scalable. In this new environment, the company sees its strategy as a critical response to soaring enterprise demand for AI-driven integration. There's been a significant focus on integration and on making automation smarter and more scalable. It's a dramatic evolution unfolding in the realm of AI-driven integration, according to Paul Nashawaty, principal analyst, application development and modernization, cloud-native at theCUBE Research. "It's happening incredibly fast, but it still goes back to the core principles of data transformation. What we see as the top challenges is highlighting integration complexity, governance gaps ... and the barriers to AI scaling," Nashawaty said, as a part of the keynote analysis at Boomi World. "What we see in our research ... is 73% of enterprises cite integration and complexity as a primary obstacle for digital transformation." Nashawaty spoke with theCUBE's Savannah Peterson, principal analyst, consumer tech devices, developers, edge at theCUBE Research, at Boomi World in Dallas during an exclusive broadcast on theCUBE, SiliconANGLE Media's livestreaming studio. TheCUBE's coverage featured on-site interviews with Boomi executives and partners to explore what the company is doing to position its platform as the connective tissue for enterprise AI success. (* Disclosure below.) Plus, here's three key insights you may have missed from theCUBE's coverage at the event: With an eye toward the agentic AI movement, Boomi has emphasized intelligent automation not just as a competitive edge, but as a survival imperative. The company has entered the "era of AI-driven automation," where automation technologies are being deployed that go beyond simple task execution, according to Steve Lucas, chairman and chief executive officer of Boomi. "Our customers have deployed 33,000 AI agents -- we're talking model code in their customer base," he said during Boomi World. "That's not tomorrow. That's today. We just gave our customers the ability to literally imagine and build any AI agent they want." Boomi's agent model empowers users to design AI solutions without coding. That enables business users to create tailored automations via prompt-based interfaces, according to Lucas. "If I can write a prompt in English, I can build AI agents," he said. "I think we're empowering humans that have very specific skills to now create agents." Here's theCUBE's complete interview with Steve Lucas: The company's support for the Model Context Protocol, a standard interface designed to streamline integration between large language models and enterprise data, further backs up this vision. There's been interest in the AI arena for a standardized open-source interface, according to Matt McLarty, chief technology officer of Boomi. "I asked the room yesterday, 'How many people have heard of MCP,' and all the hands went up,'" McLarty said during Boomi World. "I asked, 'How many people had heard of MCP four months ago?' And a few hipsters put up their hands. The reason there's so much excitement around MCP isn't because it's the greatest protocol, but it's the promise of MCP. It's, hey, you can connect to all your services in one place and it's this big normalizing thing." Here's theCUBE's complete interview with Matt McLarty: As enterprises shift from simple system integrations to intelligent, AI-driven workflows, API management has emerged as the control layer that makes modern automation both scalable and secure. Boomi has supported this trend by integrating low-code agent design, robust governance and open standards into a central layer of enterprise automation, according to Ed Macosky, chief product and technology officer of Boomi. "These agents that our customers are building are solving real business problems," Macosky said during Boomi World. "We're supercharging and making our product managers superhuman as well." Boomi's newly GA agent designer, which is a low-code tool for building and deploying intelligent agents, sits atop a fabric of APIs, empowering broader user participation while relying on APIs to stitch together systems, data and services, according to Macosky. "The agent designer is a low-code way that allows our users to build agents on top of essentially the connectivity and the fabric that they built with the Boomi platform today," he said. "It also allows developers or citizens or normal human beings ... to build agents in a low-code way across our platform." Here's theCUBE's complete interview with Ed Macosky: In order to further amplify its strategic value, Boomi has also sought to forge impactful partnerships. One such collaboration with Cognizant Technology Solutions Corp. illustrates how Boomi's platform supports AI-powered coordination for supply chains, which is critical in high-stakes scenarios such as the 2021 Suez Canal blockage. "When you've planned everything out, and an accident happens just like the Suez Canal, everything goes out the window, all your planning goes out the window," said Pattabi Kannappah, AVP of client engagements at Cognizant, during Boomi World. "Every day is billions of dollars lost. You need a fast platform, you need a ready platform like Boomi; otherwise, you can't sustain the business." Here's theCUBE's complete interview with Kannappah, who was joined by Prashant Gaonkar, vice president of enterprise platform services at Cognizant, and Macosky: As artificial intelligence evolves from single-task tools to dynamic ecosystems of intelligent agents, Boomi is emerging as a key enabler of AI-driven integration. Boomi's launch of Agentstudio and other collaborations are intended to lay the groundwork for this new era. "We've been in the age of API sprawl, and now we're getting into agent sprawl," said Luke Hagstrand, head of enterprise AI at Boomi, during Boomi World. "Having a common intranet where everyone can come, they can discover agents, get recommendations based on their job role -- that's what we're really trying to do." Here's theCUBE's complete interview with Luke Hagstrand: Next year, Boomi sees multi-agent model systems becoming increasingly part of the conversation. With that in mind, Boomi and Amazon Web Services Inc. have sought to prepare for that future while utilizing current artificial intelligence technology, with Agentstudio supporting the designing and governing of a team of agents. "We [AWS] innovate massively," said Nicole Bradley, ISV principle account executive at AWS, during Boomi World. "But we can't keep up with all the features and functions and the ease of the UI capability, and that's what Boomi brings to table. It was really the perfect synergy of [Boomi CEO Steve Lucas'] vision, his ability to move fast, his commitment to move fast and our recognition of ... we need to make sure that this agent sprawl doesn't go crazy." Many businesses these days are concerned about the potential of losing control over AI agents. That's why Boomi and AWS focused on creating a robust management system, with rapid growth for agentic AI tools and a corresponding need for governance tools crucially necessary in the years to come, according to Ann Maya, EMEA chief technology officer of Boomi. "What I think we'll be talking about next year is a lot of multi-agent model systems," she said. "What we're thinking about is if you are able to plug these agents in and then have one agent, different models, different patterns but potentially hierarchical ones that can have a supervisor agent." All told, it represents a disruptive AI revolution, according to Maya. There's little doubt that multi-agent model systems will continue to be a significant part of the conversation in the coming months. "All of these different technology transformations are happening at the same time, so you must have partnerships and collaboration," she said. "It's wonderful that we have leadership that can connect so well. But what happens after that first meeting is really important. It's the execution." Here's theCUBE's complete interview with Nicole Bradley and Ann Maya:

Boomi World 2025: Vendor Reveals New AI Agents, Agentstudio GA

'You can only really proceed at the pace of trust,' says Boomi CEO Steve Lucas. Five new artificial intelligence agents, general availability of the Agentstudio agent life-cycle management product and more integration with Amazon are among the standout news revealed during Boomi's Boomi World conference this week. Steve Lucas, CEO of the Conshohocken, Pa.-based integration and automation platform provider, told CRN in an interview that the product updates speak to Boomi's leadership position in the emerging world of AI agents. "If software can change its mind -- especially in the very business processes that we rely on for things like banking, finance, health care, you name it -- then, isn't the most important thing ensuring that humans are in the loop and we're monitoring and governing AI?" Lucas said. "You can only really proceed at the pace of trust. That's it. And if you don't trust AI to make the right decisions in finance, in health care, then you're not going to succeed." Boomi holds the conference in Dallas through Thursday. [RELATED: Solution Providers Prepare For 2025's AI Agent Era] SP Singh, senior vice president of enterprise applications and integration services at India-based Boomi partner Infosys and a speaker at Boomi World 2025, told CRN in an interview that customers' C-suites are all asking about implementing AI agents without necessarily considering how the agents work together. Boomi is well-positioned as an AI agent governance tool, Singh said. And its partners are ready to help deliver and stand up Boomi technology. "There needs to be orchestration of all these agents working together in a harmonized, controlled, responsible manner," he said. "That's where Boomi, with some of the ... investments that they have made, is very promising." Boomi users have deployed more than 33,000 AI agents, according to the vendor. One of the biggest updates from Boomi World was the general availability of Boomi Agentstudio, formerly known as Boomi AI Studio. The vendor positions the studio as the only full agent life-cycle management product on the market that allows for AI agent design, governing and orchestration at scale in a secure, no-code environment, according to Boomi. Users can leverage Agentstudio for customer support, expense report automation and other AI use cases. The tool also integrates with Amazon Q Business. Agentstudio supports centralized agent registration for Amazon Bedrock and an "agent step" capability for embedding registered agents into the process canvas. Boomi also revealed that it has become an approved data processor for all Amazon Web Services users that want to bring enterprise-grade functionality to building AI agents on AWS. Boomi also introduced a series of new agents available to users at no additional cost out of the box, including an integration adviser agent that can autonomously review integration processes with actionable feedback. The API design agent promises to design and edit APIs for business and technical needs. This agent autonomously generates OpenAPI specifications that meet compliant API definitions. The API documentation agent can autonomously generate business and technical documentation from API definitions, promising to accelerate time-to-market and increase adoption. The resolve agent autonomously troubleshoots integration process failures to improve operational efficiency, capturing error details to avoid future disruptions. And data connector agent designs and creates data integration connectors for REST-based data sources, negating the need for third-party data connections. Boomi Enterprise Platform can now incorporate native support for Anthropic's Model Context Protocol (MCP) open standard for AI agent connections. This means that the platform can automatically expose APIs as MCP server endpoints through Boomi API Management and allow Agentstudio to use MCP to access tools seamlessly. Along with MCP support, Boomi revealed support for MuleSoft API Gateways in Boomi API Management. Boomi made recently acquired Rivery part of its platform under the name Boomi Data Integration, bringing automated, end-to-end data pipelines for analytics and AI-driven data product delivery. Boomi Data Integration has managed data connectors, log-based change data capture (CDC), a user interface (UI) and observability capabilities for ingesting, transforming and activating data from any source, according to the vendor. With the new offer, users can profile, transform and govern data directly in Boomi Flow and build and manage retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) pipelines. Users can also run extract, load and transform (EL)T data pipelines to Databricks and Snowflake and feed data to analytics tools like Microsoft PowerBI and Google Looker.
