So this is about running LLM prompts as part of an existing streaming data processing setup.

I guess you could call a trigger-based SQL query an "agent", since that term is wide open to being defined however you want to use it!

If you read through the whole thing, they don't manage to build an AI Agent, they make LLM API calls using Flink's SQL.

They admit making it agentic, with choice over tool selection and with agent-like memory, requires workarounds.

Annoying workarounds, imo.

The post mentions work is in progress to build agents that use Flink without using Flink SQL.

Thereby invalidating it's own title.
