Turn Ideas into EDA in Seconds with Solace Event Portal’s AI Design Assistant

When we first introduced Solace Event Portal’s AI Design Assistant as an experimental feature, it was a sneak peek into what AI could do for event-driven architecture (EDA). The goal was simple: make it easier—and faster—for teams to understand how event-driven systems fit together.

Now, it’s officially here. AI Design Assistant is now available for all users in Solace Event Portal, and it’s already helping architects, platform teams, and developers evaluate the platform by bringing their EDA ideas to life—instantly.

From “What if…” to “Wow!”

Here’s the magic part: with just one input—your company’s name and optionally a summary of what your business does—AI Design Assistant instantly generates a set of application domains, applications, events, topics, and schemes all based on your industry and stated goal.

You’ll see how your business domains, applications, and events could be modeled and interact across your organization. It’s not just a visualization—it’s a detailed, interactive, editable model you can explore and refine.  Once you are happy with the design, you can even promote the broker configurations for your designed applications directly into your runtime mesh from the tool.  This will illustrate how powerful Event Portal is in helping your teams get access to the event data flowing through your brokers or event mesh in your runtime environments.

What used to take hours of planning and whiteboarding, or just poking around in Event Portal to explore, can now happen in seconds.

Built for Learning, Built for Doing

AI Design Assistant has one goal in mind: make event-driven thinking accessible.

For anyone new to EDA, it’s a game-changer. Instead of starting from a blank canvas, you start with a meaningful example model specific to your industry and use case. You can explore what EDA looks like in context, see how applications publish and subscribe to events, and learn about the relationships that make modern, real-time systems work.

And whether you’re defining standards, managing a platform, or building the next great integration, AI Design Assistant meets you where you are:

• For Integration Architects: Quickly validate architectural patterns, explore event interactions across domains, and communicate designs with visual clarity.
• For Platform Teams: Accelerate onboarding by giving developers a guided, AI-assisted way to understand how published events are modeled with best practice topic structures and representative payload schemas. As well as how downstream consuming applications subscribe to the event data they need and are onboarded into your ecosystem.
• For Developers: Jumpstart your learning curve—see how event-driven applications interact and connect to the brokers, discover best practices, and get inspired to start building your own apps.

For some, it’s a hands-on learning tool. For others, it’s a creative co-designer that helps you brainstorm faster, model smarter, and move from idea to design to implementation without missing a beat.

Examples of AI Design Assistant in Action

Early adopters have already put our AI Design Assistant to work across industries, using it to visualize how events could streamline processes, improve responsiveness, and modernize integration landscapes.

Here’s a glimpse of what users have created so far:

Retail

A real-time inventory flow connecting online and in-store systems, with supply chain and warehousing applications, automatically adjusting product availability across channels.

Transportation

An event-driven fleet tracking system that models vehicle telemetry, maintenance alerts, and route optimizations.

Banking

A customer onboarding model that maps how KYC, payments, and account events interact across distributed systems.

Now Fully Integrated and Production-Ready

This launch brings more than polish—it brings power.

AI Design Assistant includes:

• Smarter AI models tuned for real-world business contexts and industry patterns
• Editable output so you can refine your AI-generated model directly in Event Portal before and after the EDA assets are created and cataloged
• Creation of sample payload schemas for the generated events types
• Integration with Runtime Event Manager, allowing you to promote the broker config for your new applications and events to a modeled event mesh
• Faster generation and better contextual mapping to help you visualize and evolve your design

It’s no longer just a learning tool—it could even be part of your new architecture workflow with some user touchpoints.

Why This Matters

EDA is powerful, but it can feel complex at first. AI Design Assistant lowers the barrier by helping users see how everything fits together with some best practices—instantly.

Whether you’re an architect introducing event-driven thinking to a new team, a platform owner scaling a mesh across your organization, or a developer experimenting with your first event flow—AI Design Assistant helps you:

• Evaluate Solace Platform – speeding up its setup and exploration
• Learn faster — by visualizing how events flow across systems
• Communicate better — by showing tangible, editable models to stakeholders
• Move faster — by promoting AI-generated designs into your runtime environments

It’s how teams are learning, experimenting, and designing smarter—without slowing down.

Your AI-powered Co-designer Awaits

AI Design Assistant is more than a fancy tool—it’s your creative partner in evangelizing and building the event-driven future of your organization.

Start by entering a few details about your business. In seconds, you’ll see your business mapped into events, domains, applications, and their interactions. From there, you can shape, share, and scale your event-driven vision—without guesswork.
