Permission-Aware RAG v4.2 Adds Smart Routing, SFTP Ingest
The Agentic Access-Aware RAG project released v4.2, a production-oriented update that adds five enterprise features: intelligent model routing to balance cost/quality, SFTP-based ingestion via AWS Transfer Family into FSx for ONTAP S3 Access Points, automatic Knowledge Base (Bedrock KB) synchronization, operational guardrails for FSx ONTAP automation, and WebRTC-based voice chat integrated with Bedrock AgentCore.

Salesforce Unveils Agentforce 360 for Agentic Enterprise
Salesforce unveiled Agentforce 360, the most comprehensive version of its Agentforce platform, introducing Agentforce Builder (Beta in Nov 2025), Agent Script (Beta in Nov 2025), Agentforce Voice (from Oct 21, 2025), Intelligent Context (from Oct 2025), Atlas Reasoning Engine with Google Gemini support alongside OpenAI and Anthropic, and Agentforce Vibes, an AI coding tool. The company frames Agents as productive enterprise components within a 'controlled autonomy' model, defined by clear rules and governance. The expansion is driven by partner integrations: Gemini models embedded in Atlas Reasoning and available in Slack and Google Workspace; bidirectional links between Agentforce apps and ChatGPT; and the Agentic Commerce Protocol enabling in-chat product showcases with CRM feedback. Salesforce highlights a Trust Layer to mask inputs and restrict external training, while internal cadence shows 80–120 Agent updates weekly and early gains in IT service management and ticket handling. Alex Wallner emphasizes data readiness and cultural change as key adoption levers in the DACH region.

Qlik announced a major expansion of its agentic analytics capabilities at Qlik Connect 2026, uniting Qlik Answers, Discovery Agent and MCP Server with new Predict, Automate and Analytics agents.
