Reltio made autonomous agents generally available on October 23, 2026, as part of its 2026.2 platform release [Reltio](https://docs.reltio.com/en/reltio/release-notes-at-a-glance/2026.2-release-notes/2026.2-major-release-notes). The feature, formerly called AgentFlow, enables background processing of large record sets and custom agents that run as autonomous jobs across the data-unification platform.

## Core capabilities and governance

The autonomous agents operate through governed APIs and enforce data governance across Reltio's customer base [Reltio](https://docs.reltio.com/en/products/autonomous-agents/autonomous-agents-overview). They honor role-based access controls, data masking policies, and audit trails—constraints required in enterprise data environments where compliance and access governance are non-negotiable.

Shipped agent functions include exploring entity profiles, resolving duplicate records, correcting incorrect merges, enriching addresses with standardized data, profiling datasets before ingestion, managing customer segments, and assigning data stewardship tasks [Reltio](https://docs.reltio.com/en/products/autonomous-agents/autonomous-agents-overview/autonomous-agents-catalog). These capabilities address core challenges in master data management: identifying bad matches, enriching incomplete records, and routing data quality issues to the right human stewards.

## Background processing model

The agents operate via Long Running Tasks, a background-job execution model that decouples agent work from real-time API calls. This design allows Reltio to process large datasets without blocking interactive users or consuming API throttling budgets. Custom agents can be configured as autonomous jobs, enabling organizations to run recurring data-quality operations—like weekly duplicate resolution or nightly address enrichment—without manual intervention.

## Enterprise positioning

The timing of the release aligns with broader enterprise adoption of agentic systems in data infrastructure. Reltio positions the autonomous agents as a productivity layer for data teams: by automating record-level tasks that previously required manual review or custom scripts, the agents reduce engineering overhead and accelerate data unification cycles.

The governance constraints baked into the release are critical for adoption in regulated industries. By ensuring agents respect access policies and leave audit trails, Reltio addresses a key friction point for enterprise deployments—the need to prove that autonomous systems have not leaked data or circumvented compliance controls.

No pricing changes, customer commitments, or adoption metrics were disclosed in the release materials.
