Postgres for agents, of course! It makes too much sense.




Thanks! We agree :-)

We just launched a bunch around “Postgres for Agents” [0]:

forkable databases, an MCP server for Postgres (with semantic + full-text search over the PG docs), a new BM25 text search extension (pg_textsearch), pgvectorscale updates, and a free tier.

The agent stuff is BS for the pointy hairs. This seems to address real problems I've had with PG though.

Yeah, I know what you mean. I used to roll my eyes every time someone said “agentic,” too. But after using Claude Code myself, and seeing how our best engineers build with it, I changed my mind. Agents aren’t hype, they’re genuinely useful, make us more productive, and honestly, fun to work with. I’ve learned to approach this with curiosity rather than skepticism.

Hard to say if the above comment is serious or sarcastic.

To my eye, seeing "Agentic Postgres" at the top of the page, in yellow, is not persuasive; it comes across as bandwagony. (About me: I try to be open but critical about new tech developments; I try out various agentic tooling often.).

But I'm not dismissing the product. I'm just saying this part is what I found persuasive:

> Agents spin up environments, test code, and evolve systems continuously. They need storage that can do the same: forking, scaling, and provisioning instantly, without manual work or waste.

That explains it clearly in my opinion.

* Seems to me, there are taglines that only work after someone in "on-board". I think "Agentic Postgres" is that kind of tagline. I don't have a better suggestion in mind at the moment, though, sorry.
