Great point. Many of Airbyte's customers are doing just that - adding new sources to their warehouses - like Google Drive, Gong, and a ton of sources that weren't as interesting pr…

It's a good question and I won't pretend to predict the future on this one. I will say, I think Airbyte Agents is in a good position because our core Data Replication product has a…

Agreed 100% - we're still super early in this journey, gathering data from our own usage and from our customers' feedback.

Helpful feedback, thank you! And your instincts are spot on. As of now, we have API based search, with filter predicates and field selection in JSON. While we haven't published any…

Hey, fair enough. (100% human here, btw.) I think I misread your original question to be asking "why do we need a service (whether accessed via API/SDK/MCP/etc.)" vs just having sk…

Great question, @Tsarp - Skill and tools work great together. What we've found is that agents generally need both to achieve great results. We're actually not trying to replace ski…

The new Airbyte Agents offering brings a ton of new capabilities actually. 1. Programmatic Interfaces: Including a new REST API, SDK, and MCP Server. 2. New action verbs: Not just …

Hi, @jessewmc. Thanks for your reply. Regarding your points: > If I'm reading correctly, the indexing (Context Store) is neutral/unopinionated? How does it select fields for indexi…

+1 Working with APIs is often frustrating and the worst ones are terribly ineficient and frustrating. Our Agent SDK and Agent Context Store insulates you and your agent from this h…

Thanks! Really appreciate the kind words. Looking forward to seeing what our amazing community builds with these new tools.

That's great to hear - great minds think alike! > give the agent access to the DB This is where Airbyte really can shine, I think, and the total can be more the sum of the parts. B…

Hello, Jared! Small world! Yes, we did deprecate our old PbA (Powered by Airbyte) offering, but in many ways our new Agents and Embedded offering is a more robust and agent-friendl…

AJ here, from Airbyte. Yes, we've definitely found that some API data models are easier for models to navigate than others. The largest factors of Agent inefficiency we've identifi…

I was very pleased to demo PyAirbyte and my AI Chatbot self-contained in a Jupyter Notebook, along with our new support for the PGVector destination. My colab notebook is here if y…

Thanks for this feedback! I do agree there are some similarities as I called our as common benefits of using "EL pairs" on both sides of the process. Here are my thoughts though on…

Although not evil, adult content should be opt-in, and should be able to be opted-out at a platform level... hence, the need for censored models. Imagine a restaurant booking AI ap…
