RavenDB Cuts AI Agent Development from Months to Days with Database-Native Solution
Enterprise AI projects have a problem. While consumers can plan meals or design trips with ChatGPT in seconds, businesses still rely on rigid chatbots that can't access real operational data.
RavenDB just announced a solution that could change this. Their new AI Agent Creator runs agents directly inside the database, giving developers secure access to live data without the usual integration headaches.
Why Most Enterprise AI Projects Fail
MIT research shows 95% of enterprise AI projects fail to deliver business impact. The issue isn't with the AI models themselves. It's the complexity of embedding them into existing workflows and data systems.
Traditional approaches require moving data to external servers, writing complex integration code, and dealing with security concerns. This turns what should be a quick proof of concept into months of development work.
How Database-Native AI Agents Work
RavenDB's approach keeps AI agents close to the data. When a user makes a request in natural language, the agent processes it using the database's existing business logic and validation rules.
The system follows a zero-trust model. No data or operations are accessible unless explicitly approved by developers. This gives teams control over what each agent can do while maintaining security.
The agents work with any large language model and include smart caching to reduce redundant requests. This cuts AI costs while maintaining accuracy.
Real-World Impact
Oren Eini, RavenDB's CEO, points to the gap between consumer AI experiences and enterprise reality. "Consumers can get advice from AI platforms in seconds, yet enterprises are stuck with scripted chatbots," he said.
The AI Agent Creator changes this by letting developers build production-ready agents in days instead of months. Teams can go from idea to proof of concept in minutes.
What This Means for Developers
This release addresses a real pain point. Developers often know AI could solve business problems but get stuck on integration complexity.
With database-native agents, teams can:
- Access operational data securely without moving it
- Use existing business logic and validation
- Deploy across cloud, on-premise, and edge environments
- Start building immediately without re-architecting systems
The Bigger Picture
Gartner named AI agents one of the fastest-rising technologies in 2025. But adoption has been slow due to technical barriers.
Solutions like RavenDB's AI Agent Creator could accelerate enterprise AI adoption by removing integration complexity. When developers can build agents in days instead of months, more companies will actually deploy AI solutions.
The feature is available now as part of RavenDB 7.1 for teams ready to move beyond scripted chatbots.
