📣 Out now: KNIME Analytics Platform 5.5
Hello everyone,
We are happy to announce that KNIME Analytics Platform 5.5 is now available to download.
This release makes agent development more accessible for anyone who wants to build them, without the need to deal with complex integrations, coding, or steep learning curves. You also get expanded AI model options with new connectors for Anthropic Claude and Google’s Gemini models.
Here are the release’s highlights:
*
Build agents more easily than ever using powerful new capabilities, including the Agent Prompter node, which encapsulates tool extraction, selection, and iteration in a single node. Add a readymade chat interface to your agentic data apps with the Agent Chat View node and easily build new workflows as tools or turn existing workflows into tools using KNIME concepts you’re familiar with. Get the details here.
*
Use Anthropic Claude, Gemini models from Google AI Studio and Vertex AI, and models from IBM watsonx.ai with new connector nodes.
*
K-AI is now redesigned as an agentic system, working alongside you as an AI colleague. It uses nodes as tools, greatly expanding the possibilities of your workflow development.
*
Version your workflows uploaded to KNIME Hub directly within KNIME Analytics Platform without the need to switch interfaces.
*
Access component dialogs in the side panel, see components output directly in the bottom panel, and reorder tabs and align nodes for better workflow organization.
*
A completely rebuilt workflow canvas rendering system makes large workflows load faster and respond better (available as an experimental feature in preferences). Try it out and share your feedback.
*
Work directly with date and time data types in Expression nodes for simpler operations, plus modernized Date & Time nodes for improved usability.
*
Connect with major services in Microsoft Fabric, read and write data within Microsoft Fabric OneLake and Data Warehouse, and manage Power BI semantic models.
