Airbyte, the leading open data movement platform, continues to revolutionize data movement, launching a sweeping set of technologies that make virtually any data even more accessible for analytics and GenAI (generative artificial intelligence).
The company today launched Airbyte 1.0, available as Airbyte Open Source and the Airbyte Cloud online service, Airbyte Marketplace with more than 300 data connectors, an AI Assistant to create data connectors, support for LLMs and Gen AI workflows, and the general availability of Airbyte Self-Managed Enterprise for on-premises deployments.
“Every company is a data company – to drive decision-making and as the foundation for AI initiatives,” said Michel Tricot, co-founder and CEO of Airbyte. “Only Airbyte, with our open-source strategy enabling hundreds of connectors, can give enterprises the ability to leverage any data they choose. As AI continues to drive transformation, we’re delivering the technology and ecosystem required for organizations to build the data infrastructure needed for AI-driven innovation.”
Airbyte 1.0 delivers a reliable, enterprise-grade data movement platform focused on scalability, security, and flexibility to meet modern data infrastructure needs.

Airbyte also announced the following today to address the complexity of large-scale data integration from diverse sources.
- Airbyte Marketplace, which offers more than 300 data connectors that are ready for use or can be customized with the no-code/low-code Connector Builder. Anyone can submit a created data connector, and Airbyte will do certification testing.
- AI Assistant, which makes it possible to create data connectors from an API documentation link in seconds. Airbyte is the first company to deliver AI for connector creation. Users simply input the API documentation link, and the AI Assistant eliminates the complexity and automates creating custom connectors. The AI can also add streams to existing connectors. The Airbyte Connector Builder has added support for GraphQL, providing easy access to additional datasets and eliminating the need to build custom pipelines and workflows. Additionally, these datasets benefit from the governance and access control of the Airbyte platform.
- Airbyte Self-Managed Enterprise, now generally available, provides additional security, scalability, and compliance capabilities. It delivers premium support, single sign-on (SSO), role-based access control (RBAC), sensitive data masking, and advanced observability. It is available on AWS and GCP Marketplaces.
- Support for GenAI workflows: As businesses transition to AI-driven models, Airbyte facilitates this transformation by enabling organizations to build and scale GenAI use cases. With support for vector databases, RAG (retrieval-augmented generation) transformations, and unstructured data management, Airbyte enables businesses to execute AI-powered initiatives using their existing data pipelines.
“The future of data is AI. Airbyte ensures organizations can move data efficiently and leverage it for AI-driven innovation – embedding, chunking, or transforming unstructured data for GenAI,” added Tricot. “With more than 900 contributors and the most extensive data engineering community, Airbyte makes moving data simple and cost-effective across any source or destination, ensuring reliable, actionable data for decision-making.”
