This talk outlines the current status and roadmap of the Jakarta Agentic AI specification.

AI agents are one of the most prominent developments in enterprise and cloud native computing in decades. They promise to fundamentally accelerate innovation, automation, and productivity by leveraging AI in virtually every industry.

The Agentic AI specification aims to provide a set of APIs that make it easy, consistent, and reliable to build, deploy, and run AI agents on Jakarta EE runtimes. It defines common usage patterns/life cycles for AI agents, provides a very minimal LLM facade, allows defining dynamic agent workflows that can change at runtime, integrates with other key Jakarta EE APIs such as CDI, Validation, JSON Binding, Persistence, Messaging, and much, much more.
