## What is Flink Agents?
-{{< hint warning >}}
-**TODO**: Add a description of Flink Agents.
-{{< /hint >}}
+**Apache Flink Agents** is a brand-new sub-project from the Apache Flink
community, providing an **open-source framework for building event-driven
streaming agents**.
+
+Building on Flink's battle-tested streaming engine, Apache Flink Agents
inherits **distributed, at-scale, fault-tolerant structured data processing and
mature state management**, and adds first-class abstractions for Agentic AI
building blocks and functionalities - **large language models (LLMs)**,
**prompts**, **tools memory**, **dynamic orchestration**, **observability**,
and more.
## Features
-{{< hint warning >}}
-**TODO**: Add the features of Flink Agents.
-{{< /hint >}}
+The key features of Apache Flink Agents include:
+- **Massive Scale and Millisecond Latency**: Processes massive-scale event
streams in real time, leveraging Flink's distributed processing engine.
+- **Seamless Data and AI Integration**: Agents interact directly with Flink's
DataStream and Table APIs for input and output, enabling a smooth integration
of structured data processing and semantic AI capabilities within Flink.
+- **Exactly-Once Action Consistency**: Ensures exactly-once consistency for
agent actions and their side effects by integrating Flink's checkpointing with
an external write-ahead log.
+- **Familiar Agent Abstractions**: Leverages well-known AI agent concepts,
making it easy for developers experienced with agent-based systems to quickly
adopt and build on Apache Flink Agents without a steep learning curve.
+- **Multi-Language Supports**: Provides native APIs in both Python and Java,
enabling seamless integration into diverse development environments and
allowing teams to use their preferred programming language.
+- **Rich Ecosystem**: Natively integrates mainstream LLMs, vector stores from
diverse providers, and tools or prompts hosted on MCP servers into your agents,
while enabling customizable extensions.
+- **Observability**: Adopts an event-centric orchestration approach, where all
agent actions are connected and controlled by events, enabling observation and
understanding of agent behavior through the event log.
