Forge AI Intelligence Stack

Forge is powered by a 4-layer AI architecture that provides schema intelligence, governance automation, schema evolution, and autonomous orchestration.

Merlin — Autonomous Data Agent

Flagship • Q4 2026

"Set up my data pipelines and maintain them."
Merlin is an LLM-powered autonomous agent that understands natural language goals, plans multi-step workflows, orchestrates Forge's AI tools, and self-heals failures without human intervention.

Natural Language Goals
Multi-Step Planning
Self-Healing
Learns from Outcomes

Excalibur

Production

Schema Classification
Graph Neural Network (GNN) that treats schemas as graphs to classify data patterns. Privacy-preserving design—field names never leave your environment.

  • GraphSAGE GNN + RandomForest
  • 89% accuracy, 5 categories
  • Privacy-first fingerprinting

Llamrei

Q2 2026

Schema Evolution
Automatically detects legacy API versions and normalizes them to modern golden schemas. Saves $200K-$500K per avoided migration.

  • 50+ API golden schemas
  • Stripe, Salesforce, Shopify
  • Non-destructive transforms

Pridwen

Production

Governance ML
Hybrid 3-layer system (Rules + ML + Crowd) that automatically detects PII and recommends transformations like hash, mask, and encrypt.

  • 15 SQL templates
  • Day-1 intelligence
  • Network effects learning

Core Platform Features

Multi-Warehouse

One parse generates dbt models for BigQuery, Snowflake, Databricks, and Redshift.

Deep JSON Unnesting

Automatically flattens nested arrays and objects 5+ levels deep into relational tables.

dbt Model Generation

Production-ready SQL models with proper keys, types, and documentation.
