Systems | Development | Analytics | API | Testing

These terms show up in every other LinkedIn post about AI. Everyone uses them slightly differently. So here's how we think about them at Keboola, and what they look like in practice.

Every enterprise AI story right now follows the same plot. You pick a system — Salesforce, Workday, SAP, NetSuite — and you bolt an AI agent on top of it. The agent can summarize deals. It can write follow-up emails. It can pull a report without you clicking through five dashboards. It is genuinely useful. And it is not transformation. What you have built is a smarter interface on top of a system designed for humans.

You can build Data Apps inside Keboola with Kai. But what if you prefer working with Keboola via MCP, in Claude Code, Cursor, or another AI-powered editor? Want to build a JavaScript Data App that Kai doesn't support yet? That's what the Keboola AI Kit is for. It's a set of skills you install into your agent so it knows how to work with Keboola - how to query your data, how to structure a Data App, how to deploy it. Here's how to set it up.

Finance leaders at top companies all describe the same frustration: scattered data is blocking them from being the strategic partner their organization needs. This guide names the blind spots — and shows what becomes possible when you finally close them. You know what your P&L says. But do you know what your cash position will look like in 90 days?

Building your own financial data system sounds lean, flexible, and smart — right up until year two. This guide gives you the honest picture most vendors won't: what a production-grade finance system actually costs, what teams almost always miss, and a decision framework built for CFOs who need to get this right the first time. Your data team is confident. The architecture looks solid.

This is a Data App that collects structured product submissions from a team, validates them, queues them for approval, and writes approved entries directly to a Keboola table. I built it with Kai in one conversation. No Google Sheets. No broken column headers. No emailing CSVs. If you've ever needed your team to submit structured data - new products, budget inputs, campaign briefs, vendor details - and the spreadsheet approach keeps falling apart, keep reading.

Data Apps are interactive web applications that run directly in your Keboola project. They let you visualize, explore, and interact with your data without needing external BI tools. Think of Data Apps as your custom dashboards, built exactly how you need them. Now, let's see how Kai makes building Data Apps effortless.

Three departments walk into a board meeting. Sales says revenue grew 12%. Finance says 9%. Operations says 8%. Nobody is technically wrong, but it still slows every decision down. This template should give you a head start to fix that.

If you've just enabled Kai in your Keboola project, you might be wondering: "Okay, now what?" This guide walks you through your first conversation with Kai, following the same steps I demonstrate in my introduction video.

Last week we publicly released Kai, our in-platform AI assistant, a data engineering agent that can build integrations, write transformations, debug failures, and document your entire project. I'm extremely proud of the team and what we've delivered. Yes, everyone has an AI assistant now. But most are chat wrappers that look great in scripted demos and fall apart with real work.
