What AI Capabilities Does Starburst Offer?
Starburst provides a data platform that enables enterprises to deploy AI across distributed data environments. Built with Trino and Apache Iceberg, the platform enables enterprises to unify data while supporting analytics and AI workloads.
The company recently introduced a new lakehouse platform designed to support an “agentic workforce,” where humans and AI agents collaborate across enterprise workflows to analyze data and make decisions. The offering supports model-to-data architectures, multi-agent interoperability and open vector access to help organizations deploy AI while maintaining control.
Starburst’s AI capabilities also include the Starburst Agent, which allows AI systems to securely access enterprise data without requiring organizations to move data across platforms. The technology can operate in highly regulated or air-gapped environments, enabling secure AI deployment while preserving data sovereignty.
“Companies can’t unlock AI productivity gains with a data strategy designed for dashboards,” Justin Borgman, CEO of Starburst, stated. “They need a federated context layer that connects distributed data, governance and business meaning into a single AI-ready foundation. That’s what Starburst delivers.”
