# Agent Data Services Features (private)

DigitalOcean Agent Data Services is a fully managed service that turns raw multimodal and behavioral data into AI-ready data that you can query as soon as it arrives.

DigitalOcean Agent Data Services is in [private preview](https://docs.digitalocean.com/platform/product-lifecycle/index.html.md#private-preview) for invited design partners. During private preview, you use Agent Data Services through the API and the Control Panel.

To join the private preview, [request access](https://try.digitalocean.com/agent-data-services-private-preview/).

Agent Data Services includes:

- **Behavioral data flows:** Assemble your event streams, logs, and agent traces into redacted sessions stored as tables you can query. Look up any session by its identifier to return the full interaction.
- **Multimodal content data flows:** Turn documents, images, audio, and video into extracted text, chunks, transcripts, descriptions, categories, moderation flags, and embeddings.
- **Built-in data flow functions:** Chain built-in functions, such as transcription, chunking, embedding, redaction, field extraction, session assembly, and aggregation, in the order you define.
- **Test and promote workflow:** Test a data flow on sample data and inspect the results before promoting it to run on every new arrival.
- **Object storage ingestion:** Connect a Spaces bucket or other S3-compatible bucket and process new and existing objects without migrating them.
- **Managed inference:** Data flow steps that need a model can use any serverless model on [DigitalOcean Inference](https://docs.digitalocean.com/products/inference/details/models/index.html.md), with no GPUs or separate inference service to manage.
- **Unified catalog:** Each workspace has one catalog that holds content, embeddings, structured attributes, and access rules together.
- **Open table format:** Structured and semi-structured data is stored in Apache Iceberg tables.
- **Lineage:** Trace each result back to the raw data it came from and each transformation applied to it.
- **Unified query layer:** Combine semantic search, keyword search, and attribute filters in one request, retrieve records with time-windowed aggregations, and run read-only analytical queries. Send queries from the API, the Control Panel, or a client that connects with the query credentials for a workspace.
- **Redaction before embedding:** Redact or mask sensitive fields before they are embedded.
- **IAM access control:** Control who can manage and query each workspace with team roles, custom token scopes, and workspace-scoped tokens. See [Agent Data Services Access Control](https://docs.digitalocean.com/products/agent-data-services/details/access-control/index.html.md).
- **Data isolation:** Each customer’s data is isolated at rest and while it is served, encrypted in transit and at rest, and never used to train DigitalOcean models.
- **Horizontal scaling:** Scale a data flow to up to 40 replicas to process queued work in parallel.
