Oxygen v0.5 - The First Agent-Native Data Platform
Today we're excited to introduce Oxygen v0.5, what we believe is the first truly Agent-Native Data Platform — a fundamentally new class of system built from first principles for Agentic Data Analytics.
Traditional data platforms were architected in an era where humans were the primary users of software. In this brave new world, AI agents are the primary users of software, and current data platforms are simply not keeping up with the pace of innovation at hand. Specifically, traditional data platforms struggle under the weight of new workloads: autonomous reasoning, multi-step decision workflows, and natural language driven data artifact generation ("vibe data coding").
Oxygen changes that. It's not like the hundreds of other Data + AI startups: it is a Full-Stack Data + AI Platform that is a true marriage between agentic AI and a full-stack, vertically-integrated data stack built for the post-Modern Data Stack era.
Why We Built Oxygen
We asked: What happens if we design data infrastructure not for humans first — but for agents?
What follows is a platform where:
- Natural language becomes the primary interface, not just an add-on
- AI agents understand your business context deeply
- AI agents understand the sophisticated nuances of data analytics, from data engineering, data modeling, to data productization
- Complex workflows can be broken down into constituent components and automated by an agent-native workflow engine
The resulting platform is one that enables true data democratization, a world in which anyone—by talking with or typing in natural language—can get answers to data-intensive questions mapped to business context, create sophisticated data infrastructure, and publish data applications for even their most data-intensive job-to-be-done.
What Makes Oxygen Different
Oxygen is different in three foundational ways:Agent-Native by Design
Oxygen isn't an add-on AI module stitched onto a data stack; it's designed from the ground up for agentic workflows. Every core capability — from data ingestion to semantic modeling, question answering, and automated orchestration — is built to be operated by intelligent agents.
This means agents can:
- Answer questions in natural language
- Build data artifacts (ETL pipelines, automations, tables, metrics, ontologies, dashboards, applications)
- Build and orchestrate workflows with agentic decision logic
- Reason over context and data relationships
All of these workflows can be done without being bottlenecked by human limitations.
All-In-One Without Compromise
Oxygen brings enterprise data capabilities together into a coherent platform:
- Answer engine powered by AI
- Build engine for analytics artifacts
- A data lakehouse engineered for agents
- ETL and data movement fully integrated
- Ontology and semantic layers that unify context
- Agentics + automation engines for multi-step workflows
- App layers for reporting, BI, operational analytics
This isn't a stack of disconnected tools — it's a full-stack suite where humans and agents work side by side in a shared workspace for data and AI.
Open & Composable
We built Oxygen to be open and interoperable, not a closed "black-box platform." It embraces open source standards and modularity so you can:
- Self-host Oxygen OSS or use hosted Oxygen Cloud
- Integrate with existing ETL tools, data lakes, warehouses, compute engines, semantic layers, and BI tools
- Compose agents alongside SQL, Python, and semantic models
- Extend or replace components where your team needs flexibility
This composability is critical — it lets organizations adopt Oxygen without ripping out what already works, and evolve their systems as needs change.
Looking Ahead
This release is just the beginning. Our roadmap is focused on deep intelligence, richer automation, and expanding how agents can reason, explain, and act on behalf of every part of the business.
We're building toward a future where intelligence is not limited by human capabilities, but supercharged by agentic reasoning.
Get Started Today
Whether you're solving operational complexity or turbocharging strategic decisions, Oxygen gives you the foundation to build, ask, automate, and apply intelligence at scale.
