Exmergo released Dex, an analytics engineering agent for Claude Code and other AI coding agents, that explores data warehouses, transforms dbt projects, and maintains schema drift. Dex achieves 76% ta…
A developer proposes connecting AI agents to data warehouses via a semantic layer and the Model Context Protocol (MCP) instead of direct text-to-SQL, arguing that the latter leads to hallucinated join…
A developer proposes an analytics API backed by a semantic layer as a unified query interface for metrics, replacing custom endpoints that lead to metric drift and combinatorial explosion. The post in…
Bonnard released @bonnard/mcp-charts, an open-source npm package that lets MCP servers return interactive charts directly in AI clients like Claude and ChatGPT. The tool replaces the common pattern of…
Datopian released PortalJS, an open-source, AI-native framework for building data portals that uses agentic skills to help teams choose an architecture, scaffold it, and load data. The framework ships…
Datadog engineer Arnold Wakim used Anthropic's Claude and Cursor to migrate a critical production system, Stream Router, from a key-value store to PostgreSQL, reducing operation times from 45 minutes …
Researchers introduced Jailbreak, a system that uses large language models to regenerate database storage readers, bypassing traditional database drivers like JDBC and ODBC to read storage files direc…
A developer built a Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) pipeline to convert unstructured medical PDFs into a structured, queryable Electronic Health Record (EHR) knowledge base using FHIR standards. …
AI agents in data engineering should be structured with a deterministic correctness layer to ensure reproducibility and trust, according to a new analysis. The article outlines three levels of AI agen…
MotherDuck's serverless DuckDB platform saved a five-person finance team $12,000 per year on analytics costs by replacing Snowflake, reducing monthly bills from $1,800 to under $800 while delivering s…

A developer building a virtual running app, In the Long Run, used AI to enrich maps with points of interest from the GeoNames dataset, but found AI's role was limited to supporting data processing rat…
A developer in Bahía Blanca, Argentina built CHE MCP, the country's first national MCP ecosystem that connects AI agents to 80+ official Argentine data sources through a single server. The system uses…
An engineer discovered that 60% of a $312 monthly Anthropic bill came from a single retry loop in a Claude Code agent. The culprit was found by shipping Workers logs to R2 via Logpush and querying wit…
Developer Shan Rizvi forked the open-source CozoDB into MnesticDB, adding cognitive primitives for AI agents. The new database reduces index build times from 89 seconds to 8 seconds and improves retri…
Researchers introduced GenDB, a generative query engine that uses five specialized LLM agents to produce instance-optimized native executables for analytical queries, outperforming DuckDB, Umbra, Clic…
Databricks announced major updates to Unity Catalog at the Data+AI Summit 2026, including AI runtime governance with hard spend caps and contextual service policies, external engine writes to managed …
A startup called Probably has raised $9 million in a seed round co-led by Andreessen Horowitz and Accel to catch AI factual errors using a weaker model instead of a smarter one. The company's 'verifia…
