Elastic announced the general availability of Agent Builder, a platform that lets developers build AI agents that can search, analyze, and act on enterprise data in real time. The announcement came on January 22, 2026, following a private preview that began in October 2025.
Agent Builder is built on Elastic’s core search engine and bundles native data preparation, retrieval, ranking, and conversational interfaces. It is available in Elastic Cloud Serverless and is included with the Enterprise Tier of Elastic Cloud Hosted and self‑managed Elastic Stack releases for existing customers.
The launch also introduces Elastic Workflows, a tech preview that adds rule‑based automation so agents can orchestrate actions across internal and external systems without relying solely on large language models. Together, the two components give Elastic customers a secure, scalable foundation for building context‑driven agents that can reason, retrieve, and act on complex data sets.
Elastic’s strategy positions the company as a key infrastructure layer for generative AI. By embedding agent‑building capabilities directly into its search platform, Elastic aims to simplify AI development for enterprises and accelerate adoption of AI‑enabled operations. The move is expected to broaden Elastic’s customer base and deepen its footprint in the growing enterprise AI market.
The announcement follows Elastic’s broader push into AI, including partnerships with Microsoft and integrations with LlamaIndex and Arcade.dev. While the company has not yet reported financial impact from the launch, analysts expect the new platform to drive future revenue growth as enterprises seek secure, context‑aware AI solutions.
