About Apache Texera

Apache Texera (Incubating) is an open-source system for human-AI collaborative data science using visual workflows. It enables analysts to construct, execute, and refine data analysis tasks through an intuitive GUI, assisted by AI agents that understand natural-language instructions. Texera is well suited for a wide range of applications, including “AI for Science”, by making advanced AI and data science capabilities accessible to a broader community. It can run on a laptop for local use or be deployed in the cloud to support scalable processing of large datasets.
