"Teradata has turned to open-source frameworks and platforms to offer a set of agent-building capabilities that it is marketing collectively as Agent Builder to help enterprises automate workflows. These capabilities include a user interface, context intelligence, Teradata's MCP Server and tools, and pre-built agents. The user interface, which will be used to build agents and develop multi-agent workflows, is, however, not developed by Teradata and integrates third-party frameworks, platforms, and tools - an aberration from what rivals, such as Snowflake, Databricks, Salesforce, and ServiceNow, offer."
"Currently, the choices of third-party frameworks and platforms include Flowise, which Workday acquired in August, and CrewAI, with support for LangChain and LangGraph to follow soon. Other tools from Nvidia and cloud service providers, such as AWS, Microsoft, and Google, are expected to be added later, a company spokesperson said. The Futurum Group's lead for the CIO practice, Dion Hinchcliffe, calls Teradata's integration approach, especially with open source frameworks and platforms, pragmatic, given the size of investment required to deliver robust agentic capabilities well."
""These frameworks already have robust communities and modular components, which let Teradata accelerate its time to market. This strategy allows Teradata to focus on its true differentiators: data, governance, and contextual knowledge," Stephanie Walter, analyst at HyperFRAME Research, said. Walter also pointed out that Teradata's approach also avoids forcing customers to adopt a new proprietary system, unlike Salesforce or ServiceNow, which are building proprietary frameworks that lock customers into their ecosystems."
Agent Builder bundles agent-building capabilities including a user interface, context intelligence, Teradata's MCP Server and tools, and pre-built agents, with private preview expected by year-end. The user interface integrates third-party frameworks and platforms rather than being developed in-house. Initial supported frameworks include Flowise and CrewAI, with LangChain and LangGraph planned next and additional tools from Nvidia and major cloud providers to follow. The integration strategy leverages existing open-source communities and modular components to speed time to market, emphasizes Teradata's strengths in data, governance, and contextual knowledge, and avoids locking customers into proprietary ecosystems.
