Building Ambient Agents Using Event Streams
jacob_posel · x · 2026-07-18
The post summarizes an agent system design approach using "Ontology + Signals".
The core workflow highlighted is:
- Start with ingestion to unify sources like email, Slack, and Zoom, extracting summaries, entities, and metadata to facilitate downstream faceted search.
- Abstract business logic into event streams for normalization and queuing.
- Publish events from the ingestion layer outward, allowing various AI agents to subscribe and collaborate.
The author concludes by describing this architecture as "ambient & cost effective agents": using event-driven and structured signals to lower the cost of agent collaboration.
