What they do

Problem

AI agents and data teams lack unified, reliable context across disparate business systems, leading to inefficient tool calls and high token usage.

Solution

Airbyte provides a context store and open data movement platform that unifies entities across SaaS sources and exposes them via UI, MCP, and SDK for production-grade AI agents and analytics.

Who it's for

Data teams and developers at organizations integrating data from multiple systems and building production AI agents.

Founders

Michel Tricot
Co-Founder & CEO

Co-founder & CEO of Airbyte. I’ve been working in data since 2007. In 2011 I join LiveRamp where I was Head of Integrations and Director of Engineering. My team built and scaled over 1,000 data ingestion and distribution connectors to replicate hundreds of TB of data every day. After LiveRamp’s acquisition and later IPO (NYSE:RAMP), I joined rideOS as Director of Engineering, again deep in data. There, I realized that all companies are trying to solve the same problem. Airbyte was born.
