Ascend.io, the company on a mission to make data engineering delightful, is announcing the launch of Agentic Data Engineering, a platform centralizing AI-powered ingestion, transformation, orchestration, and observability into a single, seamless system. Designed to amplify the workflows of data teams—helping them to move faster, work smarter, and reduce complexity—Agentic Data Engineering alleviates the burdens of operational tasks to drive engineering productivity.
While many enterprise data teams are bogged down by fragmented, disconnected tools, Agentic Data Engineering aims to eliminate this friction by merging every stage of the data lifecycle into one AI-native environment, according to the company. Underpinned by the Intelligence Core, a mechanism that continuously captures metadata across the system, Agentic Data Engineering’s built-in agents monitor performance, detect anomalies, suggest improvements, and generate automated summaries of code changes.
"Every data team we talk to is buried under operational burden. We designed the new generation of the Ascend platform with AI that sees everything a data engineer sees—from code changes to data anomalies, and everything in-between. That shared context is what makes Agentic Data Engineering possible,” said Sean Knapp, founder and CEO of Ascend.io. “For the first time, we have Data Engineering Agents that understand your data pipelines well enough to take increasingly complex actions on your behalf, ultimately freeing data teams from the toil they've become all too accustomed to."
By incorporating embedded intelligence from the ground-up, Ascend.io’s platform sees what’s happening in engineering environments and knows how to respond—making context the default and rapidly suggesting fixes. Designed to reduce manual overhead, eliminate integration work, and afford engineers the confidence to ship with speed, Agentic Data Engineering allows engineers to focus more on high-impact decisions and less on infrastructure.
"Intelligent, agent-driven automation is the logical next step for modern data infrastructure,” said Knapp. “Ascend.io's unified approach removes complexity and makes data engineering accessible for organizations of all sizes and complexity. It's never been easier to migrate, modernize, and innovate."
