From Real-Time Analytics to Real-Time Intelligence: Apache Doris 5.0 for the Agentic Era

About this session

As AI agents become a new consumer of enterprise data, data infrastructure needs to evolve with them. Real-time analytics has focused on helping people understand what is happening faster. In the Agentic Era, the challenge goes further: enabling AI to continuously access fresh data, understand multimodal context, and reason in the latest state of business. In this opening keynote, we’ll explore how Apache Doris 5.0 is moving from real-time analytics toward real-time intelligence—from multimodal lakehouses and incremental computing to AI-native data interaction, agent observability, and production-ready infrastructure. The question is no longer just how fast we can analyze data, but how fast data can become intelligent.
