Braid empowers teams to build, automate, and oversee reliable production-grade data transformations in a fraction of the time typically required today. Instead of requiring engineers to build data automations, Braid allows business users to describe their needs in natural language that AI agents use to build intelligent data transformations that are transparent and fully auditable. Braid’s enterprise-grade engine then processes and delivers those data transformations in a controlled and deterministic environment. Built by financial services experts, Braid provides the transparency and controls that a regulated financial organization needs for oversight.
“For too long, data transformation and interoperability have suffered from a lack of capable enterprise solutions. As a result, organizations have been forced to tolerate a fragmented web of bespoke integrations, manual processes, poor change control, and a patchwork of tools,” said Joshua Fine, CEO of Braid LLC. “Braid is designed to change that. By combining AI with enterprise-grade controls, Braid empowers teams to build, automate, and oversee production-grade data transformations in hours rather than months. This frees resources to focus on growth, improve client outcomes, and solve the persistent problem of data transformation and interoperability.”
Braid is designed to deliver substantial ROI for clients by providing:
- Controlled access to an agentic AI-powered automation platform that is highly intuitive and usable by business analysts and operations teams, not just data engineers
- Centralized oversight dashboard with transparent break and exception management to improve oversight and control
- Custom, scalable data transformations that support evolving market standards, protocols, customer reporting requirements, and system transitions across the operating model
In a 2025 pilot, Braid delivered as high as 98% efficiency gains1 across three use cases: converting data into standard formats, automating trade instruction ingestion more efficiently than traditional extract, transform, load (ETL) tools, and unifying disparate data from more than 150 external providers, saving hundreds of hours of effort.
Built on BBH expertise
