The Next Generation of Data Observability

AI agents in data aren’t just coming — they’re already here. But the real story is what makes these agents trustworthy, developer-first, and actually useful for real-world teams. At Snowflake Summit, I caught up with Or Avidov, Co-founder and CPO at Elementary, to talk about their latest announcement — AI agents purpose-built for data teams on The Ravit Show.

We dug into:

• What makes these agents fundamentally different from the wave of AI tools we’ve seen so far

• Why now was the right moment to build them

• How Elementary is staying true to its developer-first roots, even while embracing GenAI

• And how they’re designing these agents with trust and guardrails built in from day one

We also zoomed out to talk about what the next 12–18 months could look like for AI in the modern data stack — and what roles agents might play in helping teams move faster, spot issues sooner, and automate the grunt work.

If you’re building or running a data team, this one’s worth a watch.
