Prophecy launches v4 with AI agents for visual data prep on Databricks, Snowflake and BigQuery

Prophecy has launched v4, an AI data preparation and analysis platform that uses AI agents to convert business requirements into visual data workflows. The platform generates inspectable workflows that run natively on Databricks, Snowflake and BigQuery. The system addresses validation challenges in AI-generated data logic by making outputs visual and reviewable, rather than requiring users to check lengthy SQL or Spark code. Workflows are stored as production-grade code in Git and inherit governance policies from underlying data platforms. Prophecy v4 aims to replace legacy desktop tools by combining AI-driven productivity with cloud-native execution. The platform unifies data analysis steps into a single interface where users can iteratively refine results through conversational interactions with agents whilst maintaining synchronisation between visual workflows and code. The platform is available now with free accounts offered.
