The Reltio® context intelligence platform provides trusted business understanding for the enterprise AI era, today announced the launch of Reltio 2026.1. This landmark release solves the “Readiness Gap” revealed by a recent Harvard Business Review Analytic Services survey, which found that only 15% of organizations currently possess the necessary data foundation for Agentic AI.
According to IDC, 90% of enterprise data remains unstructured and largely inaccessible to AI systems. Reltio 2026.1 addresses that gap with industry-first capabilities that unify PDFs, Word documents, web content, transcriptions, and other unstructured sources with structured data. By transforming this “dark data” into trusted, connected context, Reltio is enabling enterprises to move from AI experimentation to operationalizing autonomous agents at scale. The impact of this shift is already evident: a Fortune 500 Reltio insurance customer recently utilized agentic innovations to reduce a multi-week data process down to minutes, including a 75% reduction in manual document processing time.
“Enterprises are entering a new phase of AI, where success depends less on how much data you can process and more on whether AI and agents can actually trust and understand the information they are given,” said Manish Sood, CEO & Founder of Reltio. “That is the shift from data processing to context intelligence. We are helping our customers build a system of context today that transforms fragmented, raw enterprise data into trusted, connected, and meaningful context that AI can use to drive better decisions and outcomes.”
Accelerating Agentic Transformation with Reltio 2026.1
The 2026.1 release simplifies the activation of trusted context across three critical pillars:
1. Strengthening Data Unification and Context Enrichment
- Reltio AgentFlow™ Unstructured: Ingests and extracts insights from PDFs, Word docs, and HTML to enrich unified context, making previously “dark” data actionable. With this agentic capability, for the first time, structured and unstructured data can be unified in one data foundation for operational use.
- Reltio Flexible Entity Resolution Networks (FERN): Enhanced with AI-driven vectorization to improve the speed and precision of candidate discovery.
- Advanced Grouping and Hierarchies: Features automated inference of complex, multi-level entity groupings and persistent materialized hierarchies directly in the profile view.
- Zero-Copy Interaction Integration: Connects Databricks profiles with real-time transaction data without the need for replication.
- Identity Enrichment: Provides access to a proprietary reference dataset of more than 500 million individuals.
2. Agentic Data Stewardship and Governance
- Agent Builder: Provides a template-based environment to create, test, and deploy custom agents with governed “maker-checker” workflows.
- Automated Stewardship Agents: Supports autonomous data quality profiling and task execution, allowing human reviewers to focus only on exceptions.
- Intelligent Mapping: AI-driven mapping in RDM automates the creation and management of lookup values.
- AI Guardrails: Includes bring-your-own-LLM support with built-in protections against toxicity and prompt injection.
3. Simplifying Real-time Activation
- Conversational Segmentation: A new prebuilt agent in Reltio Intelligent 360™ allows users to create and manage audiences through natural language.
- Enhanced Interoperability: New support for Confluent Cloud Kafka improves real-time event streaming.
“Innovation at Reltio is about helping our customers move beyond traditional data platforms toward data-first application platforms that can power automated action in real time,” said Ansh Kanwar, Chief Product Officer at Reltio. “We are continuing to push the boundaries of enterprise data by combining stronger identity foundations, more intelligent automation, and easier activation of trusted context across agents and applications.”
