Generative AI has huge potential to remove data integration bottlenecks. Boomi just released Boomi GPT, a conversational interface to create data connectors, APIs or master data models. SnapLogic, which released gen-AI-based SnapGPT back in March, has just expanded it to include Anthropic’s Claude 2 large language model on the Amazon Bedrock managed service.

Modules can be used independently but the real benefit here is that Amperity is one of the few “composable” CDP vendors who offer a complete set of pre-integrated CDP functions.
