Autonomous Data Platform · Live Today
Months of data engineering. An hour of Nettle.
Point Nettle at your raw data. It stands up a state-of-the-art, AI-managed data stack — pipelines, models and decision infrastructure — with no schema docs, no configuration, and no forward-deployed engineers.
Fully autonomous
Self-healing
Zero maintenance

The Problem
Every era promised to end this. Every era added a layer.
The warehouse didn't remove the ETL. The stack didn't remove the warehouse. The copilot didn't remove the pipeline. Each one arrived with its own headcount — and enterprise AI is now stuck behind all of them.
One engine. Not one more layer.

systems to maintain
50% of software payroll
works on the data layer or the systems around it. The toil lives where the data lives.
70% of AI token spend
burns at the same layer — agents re-reading raw, unmodelled data on every single run.
$5.5B+
of announced capital has gone into hiring humans to sit next to enterprise data. The bottleneck of the AI revolution is the supply of forward-deployed engineers — and Nettle removes the need for them.
01
Legacy data isn't AI-ready
Decades of schemas, exports and hand-edited sheets that no model can safely reason over.
02
Agents aren't in the core loop
AI still isn't driving core business processes — it lacks context data that is current, correct and maintained.
03
Point solutions miss the picture
Tool-by-tool fixes patch one pipeline while the surrounding hairball keeps growing.
And a layer is never just software. It's the bill.
Headcount, on-call, and a rewrite every time the business changes.
That is where the engineering budget actually goes.

The questions worth asking
// that's the list
Your engineers stop maintaining the answer machine — and go build the product.
Millions in platform spend drops to the cost of electricity:
<$35 compute per day · <$5 LLM cost per dataset.
The Engine

Every decision on top.

01 · Raw Data
Point it at what you already have.
No schema. No documentation. No pipeline written first. Legacy sources aren't a blocker — they're the input.

02 · The Foundation
It models itself.
Ingests, cleans, indexes and self-heals continuously. Nothing above it ever touches raw data.

03 · Semantic Layer
Your business, in your own terms.
Entities, metrics and rules inferred from how you actually operate — then kept in sync as you change.

04 · Apps
Two apps live. The rest, one by one.
Every app sits on the same plane and the same semantic layer. Unblock one, and the next costs almost nothing to add.

BUILDING NOW
Talk to raw data. Insight and reporting, without a dashboard being built for you.
Causal
BUILDING NOW
Not what happened — why. Isolate the driver, size it, decide what to change.
Models
NEXT
Predictive models fitted on the semantic layer — churn, spend, vendors — refit whenever it moves.
Visualisation
NEXT
Views that assemble themselves from the questions being asked.
Or your own.
Your engineers build agentic and data apps against entities and metrics — never against raw data, processing or cleaning.
REST

OUT · Decisions & Actions
Decisions, not dashboards.
Forecasts, diagnoses, alerts and agent actions — emitted continuously, in the terms the business already uses. Serving 16 personas — exec, finance, legal, sales, ops and the rest — without a report being written for them.
Then the business changes — and none of this breaks.

Where We Are
Live today. Building in the open.
Phase 01 · Live Today
Ingest to insights, without being told anything
Nettle connects, understands the structure and returns insights — no schema documentation, no configuration. Your team can always override its choices.
Natural-language querying & SQL
Semantic classification
BI in one environment
Phase 02 · In Development
Autonomous data migrations
One direction of flow: your sources go in, a complete platform comes out. Generated in about an hour, instead of built over months. Nothing authored by hand in between.
Silver & gold tables (Iceberg)
Realtime OLAP · search · streams
BI / MOLAP · semantic models
Phase 03 · Roadmap
It runs the platform itself
Three things happen continuously — monitored against the model, not a runbook.
Run
— pipelines & invariants execute
Heal
— drift reconciled automatically
Build
— new sources & questions absorbed
The Technical Advantage
A data model borrowed from physics.
Most platforms leave the data model up to each business — that is how you get today's mess. Nettle's models closely track differential geometry, quantum field theory and group theory, organised to solve for business decisions.
A stable model is why the engine works on industries and datasets it has never seen — and why predictive models can be built repeatably over them.

Why Now
The autonomous data layer is being defined right now.
Demand already exists
Every enterprise AI deployment needs context data that is current, correct and continuously maintained. That is a data-layer job.
The category is forming
In the last three quarters Google, Microsoft, Oracle, Databricks, Snowflake and Fivetran + dbt all announced agentic data roadmaps. Palantir has a head start.
Depth wins
Revenue will flow to the most complete and sophisticated solutions — not the widest patchwork.
Complete and autonomous:
the corner nobody occupies.
Copilots assist. Hyperscalers assemble. Point solutions patch. Nettle is the only unified platform that deploys and operates with no human in the loop — which is what makes adoption fast where FDE-led models stay slow.
