Only a data engineer here, but I agree. If I’m understanding right, your competitors are more likely Fivetran/Airbyte, and Snowflake/Databricks. There’s lots of money and marketing you’ll need to overcome. Mage reminds me of the Zero ETL idea; which seems to be getting popular again with companies like Trino.

I must ask you some arguments... it'll be helpful to have your detailed thoughts

i’m with all my ears, please share your thoughts!

Yes you're right. SOC 2 is our priority for the next few weeks. If you have experience in enterprise sales, I'd love to chat (nael@panora.dev). Thanks.

Yes they built a cool product! Actually, we aim to focus on companies feeding their LLMs by providing embeddings and chunkings out of the box on top of all the data we sync. We don't only help you connect with 3rd parties but also receive data that can be interpreted for AI use cases (e.g: RAG).

Hey - for pricing, we're going usage based on two metrics : amount of third-party connections and volume of data transformed (for chunking / embedding). Ps: This will evolve in the next months probably!

We first wanted to let ppl handle it since our API already provides the necessary abstraction to extract/write data, then doing "function calling" is just a matter of plugging the right API calls. Really curious to have your thoughts on whether that should be something we'll have to expose as well.

Yes, we aim to focus on companies with their LLMs by providing embeddings and chunkings out of the box on top of all the data we sync across different software.

Thank you!
