Introducing the AI Pipeline Assistant: Smarter Pipelines, Built in Real-Time

The AI Pipeline Assistant helps you build better data pipelines by offering real-time, context-aware guidance as you design. It flags issues, recommends improvements, and learns from real-world usage patterns—so you can move faster and troubleshoot less.

Designing reliable data pipelines is harder than it looks. Even experienced teams can lose time troubleshooting filters, untangling logic, or backtracking after downstream issues surface.

The AI Pipeline Assistant is here to change that. It’s a built-in, real-time guide that helps you design cleaner, more efficient pipelines as you build. The assistant evaluates your configuration in context, and provides intelligent recommendations based on how your pipelines are used in practice. From tuning performance to aligning pipeline behavior with intended outcomes, it’s designed to help you build better flows, faster. No more blank canvas syndrome.

Design with confidence, validate in real-time

Creating effective data pipelines is often an iterative process. As data sources evolve and requirements shift, teams must continuously refine how data is transformed, filtered, and routed to meet performance and reliability goals.

The AI Pipeline Assistant helps accelerate that process by providing real-time, contextual guidance during pipeline creation. Integrated directly into Onum’s visual editor, it analyzes the pipeline configuration as you build and so that when prompted it can surface opportunities to improve structure and logic based on how similar pipelines behave in practice.

Here’s what it can do today:

  • Real-time, context-aware prompts. As you build, the assistant analyzes your pipeline configuration. It can identify issues like unfiltered sources or incomplete routing logic before they cause problems downstream.

  • Recommendations based on real-world patterns. The assistant is trained on a wide range of pipeline use cases and applies those patterns to your build. It suggests best practices for ordering actions, applying filters, and enriching data based on how similar pipelines are typically optimized.

  • Adaptive feedback that fits your pipeline structure. Guidance evolves as your pipeline grows. Whether you’re working with a simple flow or a multi-branch setup, the assistant responds to your configuration and provides feedback aligned with its structure and complexity.


Every interaction is optional, non-intrusive, and transparent, giving you insight into what’s being flagged and why. The assistant doesn’t take over your pipeline; it helps you make informed decisions faster, with fewer downstream surprises.

The AI Pipeline Assistant is available now in every Onum workspace. Start building today or book a demo to see how it accelerates design and delivers smarter, more reliable pipelines in real-time.
