Hasura is established infrastructure in the data-access layer, best known for its GraphQL Engine, and has repositioned around AI with PromptQL and a data delivery network.
PromptQL addresses a specific and widely underestimated problem: connecting an AI agent to enterprise data properly. Retrieval over embedded documents is fine for prose but poor at questions requiring actual queries – aggregations, joins, precise filters – and business questions are usually of that second kind. An agent that can query rather than only retrieve gives materially different answers.
The GraphQL Engine heritage is the credibility here: this is a team that has been solving data access at scale for years, now pointing it at agents. Its own framing – first for digital, now for AI – is accurate. This is developer infrastructure; expect to build with it rather than use it directly.
