# Real-Time, Unified Data for AI and ML Workloads | Hevo

AI models perform only as well as the data feeding them. Hevo builds the data foundation AI initiatives need: unified ingestion from 150+ sources with low-latency CDC, automated schema and deduplication handling, and clean, structured datasets ready for ML training and inference.

## Key facts

- Rated 4.4/5 on G2 (290+ reviews).
- Used by 2,000+ data teams.
- 150+ sources centralized with change data capture (CDC) for consistent training and inference.
- Datasets can be built for AI/ML use with SQL or Hevo Transformers.

## Why AI initiatives fail on bad data

- Delayed data limits model accuracy and relevance.
- Inconsistent data creates unreliable features.
- Pipeline delays reduce the accuracy of model predictions.
- Poor controls risk exposing sensitive data used by AI systems.

## Four building blocks of an AI-ready data stack

- **Unified data ingestion:** data from 150+ sources centralized with CDC, for consistent training and inference.
- **Transforming data:** structured, clean datasets built directly as inputs for ML training and inference.
- **Monitoring and observability:** pipeline performance and data visibility tracked continuously.
- **Security and compliance:** built-in governance, encryption, and region controls.

## Automated infrastructure for AI workloads

- Data centralized from 150+ sources, including databases, SaaS, and APIs.
- Changes continuously captured with low-latency CDC.
- Schema and deduplication managed automatically.
- AI- and ML-ready datasets built using SQL or Hevo Transformers.
- Integration with all major cloud data warehouses.

## What customers say

- **Prasanth Narayan, Senior Data Engineer, Collectors:** "Hevo helped us unlock data sources that Stitch couldn't support, enabling new dashboards and ML-driven pricing models that directly powered Collectors' marketplace growth."
- **Antonio Curado, Technical Lead, Data, Deliverect:** "Hevo just works, with a great user experience, fast and effective support, and the most cost effective option compared to alternatives or building in house."

## FAQ

### Why does AI model performance depend on the data pipeline?

Because models are only as accurate as the data feeding them. Delayed data, inconsistent inputs, and schema drift create unreliable features and reduce prediction accuracy.

### How does Hevo prepare data for AI and ML workloads?

By centralizing 150+ sources with low-latency CDC, automatically managing schema and deduplication, and building clean, structured datasets for ML training and inference using SQL or Hevo Transformers.

### Does Hevo support real-time data for AI use cases?

Yes, through continuous, low-latency change data capture (CDC) that keeps training and inference data current.

### Are security and compliance built into AI data pipelines with Hevo?

Yes. Built-in governance, encryption, and region controls apply to data used in AI systems.

### Can Hevo replace tools like Stitch for AI-driven use cases?

One customer, Collectors, reports that Hevo unlocked data sources Stitch couldn't support, enabling new dashboards and ML-driven pricing models.
