Data and AI firm Databricks said it will acquire Tecton in a move it said will transform how enterprises use real-time data to power and scale AI agents.
Tecton, an enterprise feature store, helps organizations turn mission-critical data into actionable intelligence for use cases such as fraud detection, risk scoring, and personalization.
By preparing, curating, and serving critical AI context, Tecton helps enterprises launch decision-making AI agents in production.
“Bringing Tecton into Databricks will combine online data serving with Agent Bricks, helping customers build, deploy, and scale AI agents faster and with more confidence,” Databricks said in a statement.
For AI agents to succeed, they need instant and reliable access to enterprise data. Whether it’s a fraud-detection agent requiring the latest transaction patterns or a recommendation engine tailoring user experiences, the ability to convert raw, diverse data sources into rich context in real time is critical.
Without a clear system, this process is slow, error-prone, and hampers innovation. This is where Tecton has tried to make its mark.
Founded by the creators of Uber’s AI and ML platform, Tecton enables enterprises to define, create, and share the data their models need across historical and real-time applications.
Databricks and Tecton already share deep roots. Databricks is an investor in Tecton; the two companies have long partnered, and they serve many joint customers across industries.
With this acquisition, Databricks customers will soon gain integrated, automated online data serving within the company’s unified Data and AI platform, combining real-time data with advanced AI tooling to supercharge both classical ML models and agentic AI systems.
