MuleSoft announced the general availability of full lifecycle AsyncAPI support, enabling organizations to power AI agents with real-time data through seamless integration with event-driven architectures (EDAs).

The recent release of Agentforce enables companies to build and deploy AI agents that can autonomously take action across any business function. Using AsyncAPI, customers can enhance the effectiveness of their AI agents by allowing them to take action based on real-time data and events.

Organizations generally use AsyncAPI to connect real-time data from their EDAs to their user-facing applications. By adding AsyncAPI support to ‌MuleSoft’s Anypoint Platform, organizations can extend these capabilities to their AI agents. Fueled by real-time data, AI agents can create more meaningful customer experiences, such as streamlined support, proactive incident resolution, and enhanced inventory management.

AsyncAPI is an open-source initiative that establishes a standardized communication method between applications in EDAs, making them easier for businesses to build and maintain. This latest release improves the design, governance, cataloging, and implementation experiences in the Mulesoft Anypoint Platform to support AsyncAPI 2.6.

With this added support, organizations can move away from the traditional point-to-point integration method when getting data in and out of their EDA. Instead, they can capture all the information about an EDA in an AsyncAPI specification, establishing a single source of truth for event-driven communication that can be reused across multiple teams and projects, saving time, and creating a scalable approach to seamless data integration.

New features include:

- Creation of real-time AI agents: Expose AsyncAPIs to AI agents, providing easy access to real-time data streams. Agents can take action based on ‌incoming information, enabling immediate responses to events when they occur.

- Reusable standards for EDAs: Define a standard approach to integrate with EDAs using the AsyncAPI specification in MuleSoft’s core development environment, Anypoint Code Builder. Easily share AsyncAPI specifications across teams through Anypoint Exchange, promoting reuse and accelerating project delivery.

- Streamlined developer experience: Simplify the traditionally complex implementation process for event-driven applications with a configuration-driven UI and background processes that handle logging, validation, and mapping.

- Flexible EDA support: Choose the solution that best fits an organization’s needs with full lifecycle support for popular EDA solutions like Kafka, Solace, Anypoint MQ, and Salesforce Platform Events.

Full lifecycle AsyncAPI development is available on the MuleSoft Anypoint Platform today with support for Kafka, Solace, Anypoint MQ, and Salesforce Platform Events.

Anypoint Code Builder and Anypoint Exchange are currently available.
