Summary

The creator is evaluating Apache Camel as the base for reusable, pluggable AI workflow 'recipes' in his enterprise AI practice. His reasons: Camel is battle-tested at UPS, ING, SAP and Vodafone, and Red Hat offers enterprise support. He asks whether anyone runs Camel for AI or agent workflows in production.

Key points

• Idea: build reusable, pluggable AI workflow recipes on Apache Camel
• Camel is battle-tested at UPS, ING, SAP and Vodafone
• Red Hat offers enterprise support for Camel
• For enterprise AI, mature integration frameworks can be a good fit for agent and AI workflows
