### AI overview

IBM's proposed "streamhouse architecture" brings current business state from operational systems to AI agents, with governance and data preparation close to where information is produced rather than requiring centralization first. IBM Confluent combines streaming, connectivity, processing, governance and querying to support that approach. Agents also need task-specific definitions and governed metrics or datasets so models reason from context suited to each business process. The excerpt recommends starting with high-value tasks, improving specialized agents as they gain experience, and connecting relevant data sources so agents can access operational information continuously. These points are presented as IBM executive Shaun Clowes's approach; the excerpt does not provide independent performance evidence.

### Source excerpt

Governed context is becoming a practical requirement for artificial intelligence agents expected to make decisions across a business. As enterprises move beyond personal productivity tools, those agents need information that reflects changing conditions across the systems they use. IBM Corp.'s approach connects that data foundation to the broader challenge of putting AI into production.
