IBM's agentic AI platform is under active attack - patch now
It’s available on Linux, Windows, and macOS, and is basically an end-to-end, drag-and-drop GUI where users can construct agent workflows without having to know much, if anything, about the underlying code. REG AD googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('labrador/thereg/article/desktop/b'); }); IBM owns the platform now, but Langflow was originally developed by Logspace, which was acquired by DataStax in 2024 before IBM scooped up DataStax, and Langflow with it, in 2025. REG AD googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('labrador/thereg/article/desktop/c'); }); The acquisition of DataStax and its tools like Langflow by IBM paved the way for Langflow to be integrated into watsonx.ai, IBM’s AI development studio, as a piece of middleware extending watsonx.ai’s capabilities.
