About MotherDuck
MotherDuck is racing to make cloud DuckDB agent-native, from Dives to Flights.
MotherDuck pairs serverless DuckDB with a fast-expanding application layer: Dives, its natural-language data apps, just hit GA, and Flights, agent-native data pipelines, entered preview. It is simultaneously hardening enterprise plumbing (SCIM, SSO JIT, multi-region in Oregon and Dublin) and widening BI connectivity through its Postgres-wire endpoint.
