Your data platform should run itself. We're the company making that real.
Unravel is the autonomous platform that operates Databricks, Snowflake, and BigQuery — continuously tuning queries, jobs, and infrastructure so engineering teams can build instead of firefight. We were founded because the gap between data platform power and the humans expected to run it kept getting wider — and we believed AI was finally good enough to close it.
Most data tools tell you what's wrong. We do something about it.
Modern data platforms have grown extraordinary in capability — and impossible to operate by hand. Queries slow down. Pipelines fail at 3am. Costs creep up. The tools showing up to help told teams something was wrong. None of them did anything about it.
We'd spent careers building the systems underneath modern data platforms — at Duke, at Oracle, in research labs and in production at some of the largest data & AI systems. We knew an AI could do this work autonomously. We could see no one was building one that actually did. So we built Arvix — and a company around four principles we won't compromise on.
Those four principles.
Operate the system, not the wrapper.
Autonomous means doing — not suggesting.
Earn trust with proof.
Enterprise scale, enterprise stakes.
Built by data infrastructure veterans — not by people new to the problem.
