Amphi ETL features
- Visual workflow builder. Design data pipelines with drag-and-drop components without writing code.
- AI-generated Python code. Use ChatGPT, Claude or other LLMs to auto-create Python steps for your workflow.
- Local execution. Runs on your machine or infrastructure, keeping data on-premise.
- Exportable Python scripts. Export standard Python code that can be integrated with Airflow, Prefect or Dagster.
- Built-in scheduler. Schedule, monitor and scale pipelines directly from Amphi.
- Extensible connectors. Connect to CSV, Excel, PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQL Server, Snowflake, REST APIs and custom sources via AI-assisted code.
Pipelex features
- Declarative MTHDS language. Write typed AI methods in a Dockerfile/SQL-like syntax that defines steps, inputs, and outputs.
- Agent plugins. Claude Code and Codex plugins let agents design, run, and save methods directly from the IDE.
- Multi-environment execution. Run methods as a chatbot MCP, a webapp, or via API/CLI on any infrastructure.
- Open standard runtime. Pipelex runtime executes methods locally or in Docker, handling model routing and structured output.
- SDKs and integrations. TypeScript (@pipelex/sdk) and Python (pipelex-sdk) clients generate typed calls to the Pipelex API.
- VS Code extension. Provides syntax highlighting, linting, and formatting for .mthds files.
