Informatica Launches AI-Powered Data Management Agents to Automate Enterprise Workflows

Informatica is making data management smarter with its latest Fall release, introducing purpose-built AI agents that can reason, automate, and solve data problems without extensive coding. The new Claire Agents represent a major shift from traditional rule-based workflows to intelligent, reasoning-based data operations.

What's New in Informatica's AI Agent Suite

The Fall update brings several AI agents to general availability:

• Data Exploration Agent - Handles master data management tasks through natural language queries
• Enterprise Discovery Agent - Automatically identifies and catalogs data assets across the organization
• Extract/Load/Transform Agent - Streamlines data pipeline operations with intelligent automation
• Product Help Agent - Provides instant support and guidance for platform users

Additional agents like the Data Quality Agent are rolling out in public preview, with more specialized tools coming soon.

Build Custom Agents Without Coding

Chief Product Officer Krish Vitaldevara explains that these agents go beyond simple reporting: "If you ask about the quality of a data set, the system can now reason through the context and propose fixes." The platform's enhanced reasoning capabilities allow it to suggest solutions, not just identify problems.

For enterprises with unique needs, Informatica's new AI Agent Engineering toolkit offers a no-code development canvas. Companies can create custom agents tailored to their specific workflows, bringing their own models and domain logic. The company claims this reduces agent development time from weeks to minutes.

The new AI Agent Hub serves as a centralized marketplace where teams can share, validate, and reuse pre-built agents across the organization.

Security and Human Oversight Built-In

While these agents can take autonomous action, "there's always a human in the loop," Vitaldevara emphasized. Users maintain control over which recommendations to implement and can automate approved actions for future use.

New security features include controlled unmasking, allowing authorized users to view protected data under strict policy conditions, and enhanced multifactor authentication for all accounts.

Early adoption has been strong, with Vitaldevara noting that preview programs are "significantly oversubscribed" and some customers already deploying triple-digit agent counts.
