Adeptia is the Intelligent ETL platform for the messy, first-mile data enterprises actually run on: partner, customer, and supplier onboarding, EDI, compliance workflows, and operational data exchange across systems, documents, and AI agents. Unlike traditional ETL built for warehouse pipelines, Adeptia is AI-native:. It understands what data means, not just field names. Someone describes the outcome, and Adeptia designs the integration in ~60 seconds; then proven, deterministic code runs it in production, no runtime surprises.
