Advanced AI for building & running agentic data & workflows
Meet Otto, your AI data teammate π β the agent that builds, monitors & fixes your data workflows. From pipeline health to schema evolution, Otto helps you ship data products in hours, not weeks.
Hey Product Hunt! π I'm Sean, the founder & CEO of Ascend.io. I've spent 20+ years in data systems at Google, Ooyala (the first company I founded), and now Ascend. π
Today we're launching something that makes working with data truly delightful. Whether you're a data engineer, analytics engineer, or anyone building data products, I think you're genuinely going to love Ascend.
The vision: What if you had an AI teammate that helps you build, monitor, and fix your data workflows? Not just code suggestions - an actual partner that understands your data and takes action.
Meet Otto, your data GOAT π (and yes, the greatest of all time) Otto is your AI agent that co-builds with you. Think of him as the teammate who:
1οΈβ£ Monitors pipelines 24/7 and catches issues before they become problems 2οΈβ£ Suggests tests based on your business logic 3οΈβ£ Connects to your tools (Slack, PagerDuty, GitHub) to coordinate incident response 4οΈβ£ Actually fixes things autonomously when he's confident
But here's what makes this different: Your workflows are unique. Your agents should be too.
π€ Custom Agents: Build domain-specific agents in minutes for dealing with things like schema evolution, cost optimization, data quality, compliance - whatever your team needs β‘ Works with Your Stack: Snowflake, Databricks, BigQuery, Azure, AWS - Otto makes your existing platforms even better π Real Results: Teams are already shipping data products in hours instead of weeks.
Try it free at app.ascend.io/signup (no credit card required, and you can set up your first agent in 5 minutes)
I'm genuinely curious: If you could have an AI agent handle ANY part of your data workflow, what would it be? What would free up your time to build the stuff you actually care about?
Also for Product Hunters: Extended free tier + early access to new agent capabilities. I'll be here all day talking about agentic workflows, how we think about AI safety in production, or just nerding out about data! π€
