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.
