Open-source data integration engineered for AI agents and analytics
Connect databases, SaaS tools, files, and APIs to warehouses, lakes, and other destinations without writing ingestion code for each source.
Define a custom connector declaratively in minutes when no prebuilt one exists, then use it like any other connector in your pipelines.
Serve warehouse data to AI agents through an MCP server with inherited access controls, so agents get context without bypassing governance.
Choose fully managed Cloud, a hybrid model where pipelines run in your own VPC, or the self-hosted open-source core.
A free, AI-powered academic search engine for 240M+ papers across every scientific field
Search 241 million-plus publications from every scientific field using natural-language queries that match meaning rather than exact keywords.
Each indexed paper gets a one-sentence machine-generated TLDR so you can triage results before committing to reading the full text.
An augmented PDF reader that highlights citations, definitions, equations and figures inline, and shows which later papers cited the passage you are reading.
See how a paper was cited, whether citations were influential, and which references shaped the work — useful for literature reviews and citation chasing.
