From rows to reasoning: Designing databases for AI apps and agents | BRK223
Microsoft unveiled Horizon DB for Postgres and a Cosmos DB agent memory toolkit for building AI apps and agents.
“Memory is one of the most important things when building your AI agents.”
At Microsoft Build session BRK223, the Postgres product lead and database experts demoed AI-focused updates across Cosmos DB, SQL, and Postgres, headlined by the new Horizon DB Postgres announcement and a Cosmos DB agent memory toolkit. The session signals Microsoft positioning its database portfolio as foundational infrastructure for AI agents that need persistent memory and context. It matters as an indicator of how cloud data platforms are being retooled for agentic workloads, though it is incremental infrastructure rather than a frontier AI breakthrough.
