  • Validate row counts, null rates, and schema drift between runs
  • Schedule and orchestrate multi-step data workflows

Example Interactions

User: The daily user sync pipeline failed Agent: Pipeline user_sync_daily failed at 03:22 UTC. Stage: Transform. Error: Column email has 342 NULL values (threshold: 0). Source row count: 12,847. Last successful run: yesterday at 03:18 UTC (12,503 rows). Root cause: upstream system pushed incomplete records. Fix: Add COALESCE fallback or filter NULLs. Want me to rerun with NULL filtering enabled?

User: Create a pipeline from Stripe to our analytics DB Agent: Proposed pipeline: 1) Extract: Stripe API (charges, subscriptions, invoices) via incremental created timestamp. 2) Transform: Flatten nested objects, convert amounts from cents, join customer data. 3) Load: Upsert to analytics.stripe_charges, analytics.stripe_subscriptions. Schedule: Every 6 hours. Estimated rows/run: ~500. Want me to generate the dbt models?
