About dbt AI
dbt (data build tool) is the industry-standard analytics engineering platform that enables data teams to transform raw data in cloud data warehouses using SQL and version control practices borrowed from software engineering. dbt Core is open-source and powers hundreds of thousands of data transformations globally. dbt Cloud, the managed platform, adds AI-powered features including dbt Copilot, which uses generative AI to generate dbt model code, write documentation, generate YAML configurations, and suggest tests—dramatically accelerating the development of new data models. dbt's AI features also include intelligent error explanations that help analysts debug failed transformations without deep SQL expertise. dbt Cloud's Explorer provides an AI-searchable data catalog with lineage graphs, enabling organizations to understand and govern their analytical data assets. With over 40,000 companies using dbt, it has become the de facto analytics transformation standard in the modern data stack.
