Apache NiFi + AI
Apache NiFi AI Processors for Enterprise Agent Orchestration
AgentFlow extends Apache NiFi with 7 purpose-built agentic processors. Add LLM inference, tool execution, memory management, and human-in-the-loop controls to your existing NiFi infrastructure. No migration required.
Why NiFi
Why Apache NiFi is the Ideal Foundation for AI Agents
NiFi has 10+ years of enterprise production use across 75% of the Fortune 100. AgentFlow brings that same reliability to AI agent orchestration.
Native NiFi Integration
AgentFlow processors are real NiFi processors. They appear in the NiFi canvas, use NiFi controller services, and follow NiFi conventions. No wrappers, no bridges, no hacks.
Data Provenance for AI
Every LLM call, tool execution, and agent routing decision is recorded in NiFi provenance. Full audit trail for every AI agent action with queryable lineage.
Back-Pressure for LLM APIs
NiFi back-pressure prevents runaway API spend. Set token budgets and rate limits that throttle gracefully instead of failing or racking up surprise bills.
Zero-Code Scaling
NiFi native clustering. Scale your AI agent workflows across multiple nodes with zero code changes. ZooKeeper coordination handles failover automatically.
FlowSync Deployment
Version-controlled flow templates. Deploy AI agent workflows from dev to staging to production with versioned blueprints and CI/CD integration.
Enterprise Auth & Security
Inherit NiFi LDAP/SSO authentication, role-based access control, and encrypted data at rest. FedRAMP-ready, HIPAA-compliant infrastructure.
Custom Processors
7 Purpose-Built AI Processors for NiFi
Drop these processors into your NiFi canvas and start building enterprise AI agent workflows immediately.
LLM Inference
Multi-provider LLM integration with streaming, token tracking, and automatic retries. Supports Claude, GPT-4, Bedrock, and local models via Ollama.
Tool Executor
Sandboxed execution of external tools via HTTP, MCP, database, and custom protocols. Docker/gVisor isolation with timeout enforcement.
Memory Manager
Long-term and short-term memory via vector database integration. Semantic retrieval, conversation history, and knowledge base management.
Task Planner
Decomposes complex objectives into executable sub-tasks with dependency tracking, priority assignment, and adaptive re-planning.
Agent Router
Intelligent routing between agents and processors based on content analysis, capability matching, and load balancing.
Human In The Loop
Configurable approval gates for high-risk actions with multi-channel notifications (UI, Slack, email, API) and SLA tracking.
Guardrails Enforcer
Pre-LLM and post-LLM guardrails: PII detection, content policy enforcement, token budgets, iteration limits, and prohibited action boundaries.
