Welcome to the IBM App Connect Enterprise Agent Preview!   

The AI Agent public preview is specifically targeted at existing ACE users running a container architecture, but we'd love to introduce you to our technology regardless of your current entitlement position. To best serve you depending on your circumstances:

  • I have current entitlement to ACE and would like to learn more about the ACE AI Agent capability.

You've come to the right place, scroll on down the page to find out more and learn how to try out the technology for yourself!

  • I don't have any current paid entitlement to ACE but would like to learn more about the ACE AI Agent capability.

Feel free to scroll on down the page to find out more and enter the site to find a video demo, but please be aware that you will need paid entitlement to ACE in order to try out the technology for yourself! Alternatively, we'd be happy to organize a personal demonstration for you, or discuss your needs. To take things further please email us on eXp.App.Connect@uk.ibm.com

  • I don't have any current paid entitlement but I would like to try out just the ACE product free of charge.

Head over to the ACE Evaluation Edition website where you can download free of charge an Evaluation Edition of the product installation for Windows, Linux or MacOS.  IBM App Connect Enterprise Evaluation Edition is a full-function version of IBM App Connect Enterprise that you can use to evaluate the software, for an unlimited time, within the terms of the license. All features are enabled, but processing is limited to one message (transaction) per second.

How can the IBM App Connect Enterprise Agent Preview help?

  • Cut operational overhead with intelligent recommendations and automations
  • Accelerate change with Agent-assisted deployment and flow management
  • Optimize resource usage and licensing with real-time topology insights
  • Improve governance with visibility into runtime behavior
  • Enable confident change management by surfacing dependencies and deprecated components

What does the IBM App Connect Enterprise Agent Preview offering provide?

  • A new App Connect Enterprise agent chat experience. You can enable the Agent Preview within an App Connect Dashboard instance that hosts integration runtimes in a containerized environment on Red Hat OpenShift or Kubernetes. The chat experience provides real-time visibility into App Connect container topologies, including inspecting deployed message flows to determine how they are triggered, what they expose and to help identify resource dependencies and deprecated components.
  • When you enable the Agent Preview in your cluster, a connection is configured to a large language model (LLM) which is hosted in a designated tenant-specific instance of IBM watsonx.ai on IBM Cloud.  Entitlement to IBM watsonx.ai is separate to your ACE entitlement, but by joining the ACE AI Agent Public Preview Feedback Program we can provide this to you free of charge.

What kind of AI Agents does ACE have?

  • Supervisor Agent: A unified entry point for all current and future agent tasks
  • Topology Analyzer Agent: Real-time visibility into ACE runtimes, licensing and usage
  • Flow Inspection Agent: Inspect deployed flows for specific transport node usage, surface dependencies and deprecated components
  • Resource Manager Agent: Optimize resource usage by helping create topologies that avoid starting unused resource managers
  • Deployment Agent: Provide instructions to deploy changes across ACE runtimes, resources, flows, credentials and policies
  • Knowledge Agent: Easy way of querying pre-trained versions of IBM's knowledge-base including documentation and support cases
