Highlights include:

• Smarter Agent Runtime: BrightAgent completes its migration to Bedrock Converse.

About Brighthive 

Brighthive is an agentic data platform that functions as a data team in a box — a coordinated set of specialized AI agents (BrightAgent) that work the full data lifecycle around the clock: connecting to your sources, cleaning and validating data, enforcing governance and data contracts, and keeping pipelines self-healing and live. Underneath every workspace, Brighthive builds and maintains a living knowledge graph and enterprise data catalog — capturing not just schemas and metadata but the tribal knowledge about your business, use cases, and policies that normally lives only in people's heads. That context is what lets the platform, and every downstream tool, reason accurately about your data instead of guessing. The result: every team inside the enterprise gets to skip the grunt work and go straight to trustworthy, self-service insight — querying, visualizing, and analyzing data faster, on a foundation that's clean and governed by default. Brighthive connects to your existing data stack or stands one up from scratch, augmenting or replacing point tools without disrupting how your team already works.
