# Agent Database Provisioning

AI & AgentsXata

Automatically creating isolated database environments when AI agents start work and cleaning them up when done. Requires fast provisioning (seconds, not minutes), production-representative data, and low per-environment cost. Copy-on-write branching makes this economically viable — agents now create the majority of new database instances at scale.
