MongoDB Makes Enterprise AI Production Ready

Published

on

Unified Data Platform Delivers Native Embeddings Generation, Persistent Agent Memory, and
Real-Time Operational Data

LONDON, May 7, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — MongoDB, Inc. (NASDAQ: MDB) today announced new capabilities at MongoDB local London 2026, furthering its vision and strategy of delivering a unified AI data platform that gives enterprises everything they need to run agents in production—a real-time database, full text and vector search, memory, embeddings, and reranker models—all in one platform. Until now, enterprises have had to stitch together disparate systems and to hope they would work together at scale. MongoDB has solved that.

“The hardest part of running agents in production isn’t the model. It’s the data layer underneath it,” said CJ Desai, President and Chief Executive Officer of MongoDB. “To trust an agent at scale, it has to retrieve the right context, hold memory across sessions, and operate at machine speed, wherever the enterprise needs it. That’s why AI-native companies like ElevenLabs build voice agents on MongoDB, and why institutions like Lloyds Banking Group trust it for mission-critical workloads.”

Retrieval accuracy

With Automated Voyage AI Embeddings in MongoDB Vector Search, now in public preview, embeddings are now generated automatically as data is written or updated to give agents accurate, real-time context.

Agents are only as good as what they remember and what they can retrieve. Embedding models convert information into vectors—an array of numbers that represent meaning mathematically—so an agent can find the right information. MongoDB’s Voyage AI embedding models rank #1 on the Retrieval Embedding Benchmark (RTEB). This means agents built on MongoDB can accurately find the right information.

Automated Voyage AI Embeddings removes the manual infrastructure work that has historically stood between enterprises and accurate AI search. Enterprises that previously spent weeks building search infrastructure can now ship semantic search in minutes.

High accuracy requires strong memory. Agents without memory can’t learn, improve, or be trusted. The LangGraph.js Long-Term Memory Store, now generally available, gives JavaScript and TypeScript developers persistent, cross-conversation agent memory that Python developers have had—powered by MongoDB Atlas, as a single backend, with no additional database required.

“When AI tools and agents produce a wrong answer, the instinct is to blame the model,” said Pablo Stern, Chief Product Officer, AI and Emerging Products at MongoDB. “But the data platform is what enables the agent with the right context and memory to act correctly. With MongoDB, we’ve made this easy. Developers no longer have to build and maintain data infrastructure, wire up embeddings, or manage syncing between systems. They can focus on business outcomes rather than the plumbing.”

Performance under pressure

MongoDB 8.3, available today, delivers up to 45% more reads, 35% more writes, 15% more ACID transactions, and 30% more complex operations over MongoDB 8.0—without changing a line of application code.

When enterprises like Adobe need to scale to serve Fortune 500 marketing teams on one of the world’s most widely used platforms, the requirements are clear: sub-100ms retrieval, sub-second context updates, and zero downtime. MongoDB Atlas is built for AI speed.

“The requirements of enterprises running AI at scale are what we build for. MongoDB 8.3 makes agent workloads faster and cheaper to run on infrastructure customers already have. We’ve also moved common data transformations into the database itself, so teams no longer have to maintain external pipelines just to feed their agents. Production AI doesn’t wait, and neither do we,” said Ben Cefalo, Chief Product Officer, Core Products at MongoDB.

Run anywhere

For banks, healthcare organizations, and government agencies, deployment choice isn’t optional. It’s often a data residency requirement set before architecture enters the conversation.

MongoDB runs across Amazon Web Services (AWS), Google Cloud, Microsoft Azure, on-premises, and in hybrid environments. Customers get one database, one API, and one set of skills that work consistently wherever they deploy.

Cross-region connectivity for AWS PrivateLink, now generally available, ensures that database traffic between MongoDB Atlas clusters in different AWS regions stays on the AWS private network, with no exposure to the public internet. That helps security teams approve cross-region architectures faster, with fewer exceptions, and without forcing a tradeoff between compliance and global reach.

With these announcements, MongoDB continues to deliver what enterprises need to run AI agents in production—all in one platform.

Visier Debuts Talent Agents, Closing the Gap Between HR Programs and Business Impact

Published

New AI agents turn Visier insights and plans into guided action for every manager, fixing the #1 reason HR programs fail: manager follow-through

VANCOUVER, BC, Oct. 21, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Visier today announced Talent Agents at HR Tech 2026. Built on the Visier Workforce Intelligence Platform, these new AI agents guides every manager to the next right action in their organization’s HR programs in real time, and give talent leaders evidence of what each program actually changed for the business.

Talent management devotes a great deal of money and effort into HR programs every year, and many still can’t show the ROI or outcomes. New Visier research* found:

62% of HR leaders name manager follow-through as the single biggest reason programs fail77% of enterprises run HR programs on spreadsheets or a patchwork of tools, and are three times less likely to measure results while a program is underway.

Visier Talent Agents are built to close these gaps, helping talent management tackle its most critical challenges as organizations plan, grow and retain their talent. They leverage the latest in AI developments to pair best-in-class program frameworks with personalized, in-workflow guidance delivered to whoever needs to act next, and a closed-loop system for continuous learning and improvement based on every program’s goals.

“Good program design has never been enough. What HR has lacked is a GPS for every manager, so the moment someone drifts off track, they’re guided back before the program goes sideways,” said Dave Weisbeck, Chief Strategy Officer at Visier. “That’s what Talent Agents deliver, along with proof of what the program actually changed for the business.” 

“The space between HR program design and the actual business result is exactly where most HR investment gets lost,” said Madeline Laurano, founder of Aptitude Research. “Guidance that activates the manager at the moment they need to act, with proof of what changed afterward, is the piece of talent management that’s been missing and what Visier is solving for.”

Unlike HCM suites that teams would spend a year customizing, or point solutions that only see one piece of the picture, or even an internal-built tool that puts employee data at risk, Visier’s Talent Agents are built to run programs end-to-end and prove impact, not just track activity.

The agents reach every stakeholder in a program at the moment they need to act, not just when someone remembers to ask. They’re built to match how an organization actually operates, and the outcome of every action it recommends feeds back into the AI learning engine, so guidance gets sharper with each cycle. Because guidance runs on Visier’s proprietary Workforce AI rather than routing every follow-up through a person, organizations can scale their programs without being constrained by HRBP headcount.

The agents are built on Visier’s Workforce Intelligence Platform, so every program comes with the context, governance, and security an enterprise expects, backed by over 16 years of experience solving HR’s toughest problems.

Talent Agents are Visier’s answer to what the company calls the “activate” layer of Workforce AI, building on the platform’s existing strength in helping organizations understand their workforce data and plan around it. The offering pairs Visier’s technology with a dedicated implementation team that customizes each program to a customer’s specific processes and goals.

Attending HRTech 2026 in Las Vegas this week? Head over to Visier Booth #5209 to explore Talent Agents, or visit visier.com to learn more. The Visier team will also be at UNLEASH World in Paris (booth #106) and Total Talent Asia (booth #3).

About Visier
Visier Workforce AI is the context foundation for talent management. The Visier Workforce Intelligence Platform turns scattered, sensitive people data into one governed understanding of the entire workforce, so organizations can understand, plan, and activate all of their talent priorities in one place. More than 85,000 of the world’s most complex organizations, including Ford Motor Company, eBay, Experian, and Domino’s Pizza, rely on Visier’s over 16 years of workforce domain expertise, ranked #1 in vendor satisfaction and user experience for three consecutive years by the Sapient Insights HR Systems Survey.
