Streamlining Data Workflows with AI

Our AI Data Engineering system, powered by LLMs, dramatically accelerates pipeline generation. It integrates MLOps practices for reliable deployments. The system costs $25,000 to deploy and yields annual savings of $150,000. ETL pipelines for 15 heterogeneous sources (PostgreSQL, S3, Kafka) take 2–3 months of manual development. Profiling each source takes 3–5 days, and writing transformations takes another week. Our AI-powered ETL automation system dramatically accelerates pipeline generation. The LLM analyzes schemas, generates Python transformation code, quality rules, and DAGs for the orchestrator. Result: pipelines in hours, not months. With 7+ years in AI/ML and 30+ projects in fintech and retail, we guarantee a 5x reduction in ETL development time. Savings on FTE: one data engineer with the system replaces three, yielding annual salary savings of up to $150,000. Cloud resource costs drop up to 30% through optimized pipelines.

How AI-Generated ETL Code Cuts Development Time?

A typical project involves 10–30 sources with different formats. Manual profiling takes up to 75 days. The system automatically discovers and profiles sources, extracting schemas, statistics, and anomalies. Then, the LLM generates ETL code, quality rules, and DAGs — all within a single pipeline. Comparison: for 15 sources, manual profiling is 45–75 days; AI takes 4–6 hours. The model adapts code to source specifics, not just copy templates.

LLM Comparison for ETL Code Generation

Official benchmarks from Anthropic, OpenAI, Meta

Claude 3.5 shows the best results: 95% successful calls on first try — 30% better than GPT-4o. For confidential data, we use local LLaMA 3 with INT8 quantization. p99 latency is under 1 second.

System Performance

Internal statistics from 30 projects

Comparison of total time for a typical project (10 sources): manual approach: 4-6 months; with AI system: 4-6 weeks. Average time reduction of 72%.

How We Integrate the System with Your Infrastructure?

We don't offer a boxed solution — every project is adapted to your stack. We start with an audit: which sources, how much data, which orchestrator (Airflow), which transformations (dbt). Then we tune the LLM prompts to your business rules. For example, for a retailer with custom discount calculation logic, we add few-shot examples to the prompt so the model generates correct code.

Deliverables (What's Included)

• Audit of current pipelines and data sources
• Deployment of the AI system on your infrastructure (on-premise or cloud)
• Connection of up to 20 data sources (included in the base package)
• Customization of prompts to your requirements
• Generation of test pipelines and their verification
• Documentation: architecture, operating instructions, recommendations for growth
• Team training: 2-day workshop on system operation
• Technical support for 1 year with SLA (response time up to 4 hours)

Work Stages

1. Analysis (1-2 weeks): audit of sources, requirements gathering, infrastructure assessment
2. Design (1 week): architecture, LLM selection, integration plan
3. Implementation (2-3 weeks): deployment, writing custom modules, monitoring setup
4. Testing (1 week): E2E tests, load testing, quality validation
5. Deployment and training (1 week): production deployment, team training, documentation handover
