About Prophecy
Prophecy develops enterprise software for AI-assisted data preparation and low-code data engineering. Founded in Palo Alto, California, in 2017, the company builds tools that let business analysts, data analysts and engineers create and maintain cloud data pipelines through visual workflows, natural-language interaction and production code. Its operations span the United States and India.
The platform addresses the different ways enterprise teams work with data. Analysts can use a visual canvas or SQL-friendly workflows, while engineers can work with code, Git version control, continuous integration and testing. Bi-directional synchronization connects the visual interface with Scala, PySpark and SQL, allowing changes in either representation to remain aligned. Generated code is open source and version controlled, supporting engineering practices alongside visual development.
Data preparation and cloud modernization
Prophecy's AI capabilities help users discover, transform and analyze enterprise data through conversational and agent-driven workflows. Generated pipelines remain inspectable in the visual interface, where users can review joins, filters and business logic before deployment. The platform integrates with Databricks, Snowflake and Google Cloud BigQuery, connecting pipeline authoring with execution on enterprise cloud data platforms.
The company also supports organizations moving away from legacy ETL systems. Its modernization workflows convert proprietary data processes, including Alteryx Designer workflows, into cloud-native pipelines. These migration capabilities sit alongside governance features such as column-level lineage, Git integration and CI/CD, helping teams manage data transformation as part of a broader software delivery process.
Prophecy serves enterprise customers across financial services, banking, healthcare, life sciences, retail and technology. Its product range encompasses visual data engineering, conversational data preparation, transformation assistance and migration tooling. Guided deployment and customer-success programs complement the software, including an Enterprise Express offering focused on agentic data preparation for business teams using Databricks. Together, these capabilities support both self-service analysis and the engineering work required to deploy and maintain production data pipelines.
