Prophecy Launches First Data Transformation Copilot For Databricks

Generative AI accelerates data preparation for analytics and AI

PALO ALTO, Calif., June 4, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Prophecy, the data copilot company, today announced Prophecy Data Transformation Copilot for Databricks, the industry’s first copilot that accelerates the preparation of raw data for analytics and AI applications. By leveraging generative AI, Prophecy Data Transformation Copilot expedites the development, deployment, and monitoring of enterprise-grade data pipelines native to the Databricks Data Intelligence Platform, ensuring the delivery of clean, trusted, and timely data for analytics.

To learn more, read the blog here or visit the company at the Databricks Data+AI Summit on June 10-13th in San Francisco at booth #117.

“Generative AI is set to fundamentally change how we work with data, as technologies that leverage intelligence about data and language models provide novel approaches to transform, organize and get insights from data,” said Stewart Bond, Vice President of IDC’s Data Intelligence and Integration Software Service. “Copilots improve the accessibility and availability of data for technical and non-technical users throughout the enterprise, democratizing data and analytics.”

Cloud data platforms have become increasingly powerful to support a wide array of use cases, including streaming data pipelines, batch pipelines, and ad hoc SQL analyses. These platforms effectively handle diverse data types, from database tables to APIs to documents, and apply transformations such as cleaning, combining, aggregating, and structuring to prepare the data for utilization in AI and business intelligence.

Enabling a large number of data users to be productive has proven challenging for organizations, because traditional visual ETL products fail to seamlessly integrate with code-based cloud data platforms. Consequently, many enterprises resort to developing code directly for these cloud data platforms which, while powerful, remains inaccessible to most data users. Copilots address this issue by democratizing access to cloud data platforms, thereby increasing productivity across the board.

“The industry’s current approach to data transformation is broken. Simplistic tools cater to many users, but lack power. Cloud data platforms are powerful, but remain accessible only to expert data engineers. Both of these approaches fail to adequately address the problem,” said Raj Bains, CEO, and Founder of Prophecy. “It’s a false dichotomy, as copilots make the full capabilities of cloud data platforms accessible to all users; however, to truly evolve, they must move beyond conversational-only interfaces.”

Prophecy Data Transformation Copilot uniquely integrates visual interface, generative AI, and compiler technology to provide the most efficient approach to data transformation. Prophecy enables organizations to accelerate every stage of the data pipeline lifecycle in the following ways:

Develop: By suggesting next transforms, completing expressions, and generating equivalent data pipelines based on user input.Test & Deploy: By automating tasks, from suggesting tests to reduce errors, to generating documentation and commit messages to streamline deployment.Observe: By monitoring deployed pipelines, and suggesting fixes for errors, the platform enables any data user to fix and redeploy pipelines for improved uptime.

“As a growing Databricks partner, Prophecy continues to help our largest enterprise customers accelerate productivity and generate substantial value from their data transformation efforts,” said Adam Conway, SVP Products, Databricks. “We are excited for the Data Transformation Copilot for Databricks and look forward to continuing to enable data engineers and business professionals to become more productive with data.”

Prophecy integrates deeply with Databricks, supporting the full lifecycle of Apache Spark- or SQL-based data pipelines. Pipelines developed with Prophecy’s AI-powered visual interface turn into Spark code, or into SQL code with dbt core, making the full power of code available to all data users. Integrations with Databricks Unity Catalog and Delta Lake ensure a unified and well governed experience. Additionally, Databricks workflows can be developed visually to orchestrate and schedule multiple pipelines. Finally, Prophecy supports preparing unstructured data for AI, integrating seamlessly with features and models developed in Databricks.

Lockheed Martin Completes Orion Development for Artemis II Mission to the Moon

Upgraded Spacecraft Delivered, Preparations for 2026 Launch Underway

DENVER, May 1, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Lockheed Martin [NYSE: LMT] has completed assembly and testing of NASA’s Orion Artemis II spacecraft, transferring possession to NASA’s Exploration Ground Systems (EGS) team today. This milestone is a significant step for NASA and the Artemis industry team, as they prepare to launch a crew of four astronauts to further the agency’s mission in establishing a human presence on the Moon for exploration and scientific discovery. It will also help build the foundation for the first crewed missions to Mars.

Orion is the most advanced, human-rated, deep space spacecraft ever developed. Lockheed Martin is the prime contractor to NASA for Orion and built the crew module, crew module adaptor and launch abort system.

“This achievement is a testament to our employees and suppliers who have worked tirelessly to get us to this important milestone,” said Kirk Shireman, vice president of Human Space Exploration and Orion program manager at Lockheed Martin. “The Orion spacecraft completion for Artemis II is a major step forward in our nation’s efforts to develop a long-term lunar presence. It’s exciting to think that soon, humans will see the Earth rise over the lunar horizon from our vehicle, while also traveling farther from Earth than ever before.”

Upgraded for Crew Onboard
The uncrewed EFT-1 and Artemis I test flights were the first steps in validating the spacecraft’s core systems. Artemis II will put Orion through its final tests in deep space with a crew on board and will include learnings and significant enhancements gleaned from the Artemis I mission.

To support the health and safety of the crew, new systems have been added, which include life support – air, water, thermal control, waste management – displays and controls, audio communications, an exercise machine and a fully functional Launch Abort System. Additionally, the vehicle is outfitted with a subset of docking sensors and an experimental laser communication system, enabling high data-rate communications and paving the way for future missions.

Path to Launch
With the completion of Orion, the EGS team will perform final preparations on the spacecraft, readying it for launch. Orion will soon be moved from the Neil Armstrong Operations and Checkout Building at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center to various processing facilities. This is where EGS will load propellants and other consumables, such as water and oxygen, and install the launch abort system and its protective fairings. Upon completion, it will then be transported to the Vehicle Assembly Building, lifted onto the Space Launch System (SLS) rocket and undergo final preparations for launch.

Historic Artemis Flight
Scheduled to launch in early 2026, Artemis II and the Orion spacecraft will host NASA astronauts Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch and Canadian astronaut Jeremy Hansen. Their 10-day journey will include flying 4,600 miles beyond the Moon and back to Earth.

During the mission, the crew will evaluate the spacecraft’s performance, test its navigation and communication systems, and conduct a series of scientific experiments. They will perform a rendezvous operation with the SLS upper stage, practicing docking activities needed for future missions including Artemis III – which will mark the first human lunar landing since Apollo 17 in 1972.

With work on Orion for Artemis II completed, Lockheed Martin continues to develop and assemble Orion spacecraft for future Artemis missions. Artemis III and IV vehicles are in the Operations and Checkout Building, while the pressure vessel is being welded at NASA’s Michoud Facility in New Orleans. Lockheed Martin is on contract to develop Orion spacecraft up to Artemis VIII and has decreased cost with each vehicle.
