🍂 Early Fall 2025 Platform Update: Introducing Nexadata AI Copilot

Quin avatar
Shared by Quin • October 17, 2025

Hi there,

Introducing Nexadata AI Copilot

The Early Fall Release represents a major evolution of the Nexadata Platform, introducing a truly agentic AI Copilot that autonomously builds, validates, and refines data Pipelines based on user-defined requirements. This release brings a new level of intelligence, precision, and flexibility to the data transformation and mapping process.

🧠 From Natural Language to Structured Intent

Previously, users built Pipelines using simple natural language instructions. Now, users can provide their requirements in a parenthetical format and optionally specify the desired output format. With this information, Nexadata’s agentic AI automatically constructs the entire Pipeline, ensuring that every transformation matches the intended result.

🔁 Deterministic, Step-by-Step Intelligence

Nexadata’s agentic AI employs a deterministic and iterative approach to Pipeline creation. At each stage, the AI Agent evaluates the results and then adds the next transformation step deterministically, progressing toward the defined goal with precision and traceability. This method ensures every action in the Pipeline is explainable, reproducible, and aligned with the specified output structure.

👁️ Human-in-the-Loop Validation

Once the pipeline is built, each step is fully visible, enabling users to verify, modify, and approve the AI’s work. This human-in-the-loop design combines automation with supervision, ensuring users trust that every transformation complies with their business rules and data quality standards.

⚙️ Dynamic Transformation Logic

All transformations, including join logic and conditional mappings, are now dynamically built based on the user’s supplied requirements. Nexadata’s AI interprets intent and data relationships to generate contextually accurate and efficient transformations, dramatically reducing the time required to build complex data workflows.

🧩 Flexibility Through Advanced Mode

Nexadata continues to offer Advanced Mode, enabling users to manually build Pipelines and conditional mapping groups when preferred. Advanced Mode also provides an easy way to make targeted adjustments to Pipelines that have been created by the agentic AI, delivering the best of both worlds: automation and control.

🤖 Transition to Anthropic Claude Models

This release also features a complete migration from OpenAI to Anthropic, utilizing Claude’s reliability, structured reasoning, and long-context capabilities, which are essential for understanding complex mapping and transformation logic across large datasets. This transition ensures Nexadata provides predictable, steerable, and enterprise-ready AI performance.


🔐 Bring Your Own Key (BYOK) for Claude API

Nexadata now supports Bring Your Own Key (BYOK) for the Anthropic Claude API.

Organizations can use their own Claude instance or fine-tuned models, enabling Nexadata to utilize your custom-trained specialization while ensuring secure orchestration and compliance.

👉 Read the BYOK docs


🛡️ Privacy by Design

As always, Nexadata does not store your data, nor is your data ever shared in full with any large language model.

To enable deterministic AI processing, a limited and controlled sample of records may be securely shared with the AI agent to determine the next transformation step. This sample is never persisted, and all processing occurs within Nexadata’s secure environment. Your data’s privacy, integrity, and governance controls remain fully protected throughout the process.


🛠️ Platform Fixes

This release also includes several key platform improvements focused on security, reliability, and ease of use.

  • ENG-730 – Simplified Non File-Based Connections - Connections that are not file-based, such as REST or other direct APIs, no longer require PGP encryption keys. This change streamlines configuration and removes unnecessary setup steps.
  • ENG-732 – Hide Pigment API Keys After Verification - Pigment API keys are now hidden once verified to enhance connection security and protect sensitive credentials.
  • ENG-741 – Default to the Latest Salesforce Version - When setting up a Salesforce Connection, Nexadata now automatically defaults to the latest supported Salesforce API version, ensuring compatibility and reducing setup effort.
  • ENG-743 – Prevent Deletion of Active Target Connections - Connections that are currently used as targets in a Workflow can no longer be deleted. This safeguard prevents accidental disruptions to dependent Pipelines and ensures operational continuity.

🚀 What’s Next

Here’s a look ahead at what’s in the pipeline:

  • Unified Dataset Builder (DSB) – Manage structured, semi-structured, and unstructured datasets in one place.
  • Google Drive Connector – Connect, preview, and transform Google Sheets and CSVs directly in Nexadata.
