Core Capabilities
AIPI gives your applications a complete, production-grade backend. Every capability below is a backend service your systems consume through a simple API — no servers to build, no infrastructure to manage.
Database Operations
Connect your application to any database configured in Vantage. AIPI supports the full range of data operations against all connected database types.
| Operation | Description |
|---|---|
| Query | Run read queries against connected databases and receive structured results |
| Insert | Write new records to a database table or collection |
| Update | Modify existing records based on conditions |
| Delete | Remove records from a database |
| Sync | Bi-directional sync between your application data and Vantage-managed databases |
Supported Database Types
PostgreSQL, MySQL, MSSQL, MongoDB, DynamoDB, Firestore, and Redis — all manageable through the same AIPI interface regardless of the underlying database engine.
Key Benefit: Your app doesn't need database drivers, connection strings, or backend code. Intuidy is the database layer — AIPI handles connection management, query execution, and response formatting for you.
Workflow Execution
Trigger and manage Vantage workflows from your application. Workflows are backend logic pipelines built with 170+ drag-and-drop nodes — or created programmatically via the REST API from your agentic IDE.
| Operation | Description |
|---|---|
| Trigger | Start a workflow execution with input data from your application |
| Monitor | Check the status of a running workflow |
| Retrieve Output | Get the results of a completed workflow |
| Schedule | Set up recurring workflow executions |
What Workflows Can Do
Workflows combine data processing, AI analysis, communication, and integration actions into automated pipelines. Common workflow patterns include:
- ETL pipelines — extract data from a source, transform it, and load it into a destination
- Notification chains — when a condition is met, send an email, post to Slack, and update a record
- AI analysis — pull data from a database, run it through an AI model, and write the results to a dashboard
- Compliance checks — validate data against rules and flag violations automatically
See Workflow Nodes for the full node reference.
AI Agent Operations
Deploy and interact with AI agents that have access to your data, integrations, and custom instructions.
| Operation | Description |
|---|---|
| Send Message | Send a message to a deployed agent and receive a response |
| Deploy Agent | Configure and launch an agent with specific skills and data access |
| Agent Status | Check whether an agent is active and view its configuration |
| Conversation History | Retrieve past interactions with an agent |
What Agents Can Do
Agents are AI-powered assistants with access to platform capabilities. Each agent can:
- Access connected data sources (databases, Google Drive, Slack, BigQuery, etc.)
- Execute workflows and dashboard operations
- Use assigned skills to perform domain-specific tasks
- Maintain conversation context across interactions
- Operate autonomously on scheduled tasks
See Agents for the full agent system documentation.
Integration Access
Access any connected third-party service through a unified AIPI interface.
| Category | Services | Operations |
|---|---|---|
| Communication | Slack, Teams, Gmail, Outlook | Send/read messages, manage channels |
| Cloud Storage | Google Drive, OneDrive, AWS S3 | Upload/download files, list contents |
| Project Management | Jira, Asana | Create/update issues, list projects |
| Social Media | Instagram, Meta, X, Reddit, Threads | Read posts, publish content, analyze engagement |
| Commerce | Stripe, Shopify, QuickBooks | Manage orders, customers, invoices |
| Calendar | Google Calendar, Outlook Calendar | Create/read events, manage schedules |
| AI Providers | OpenAI, Claude, Gemini, Mistral | Text generation, analysis, embeddings |
Custom Integrations via API Builder
For services not natively supported, use the API Builder to create custom integrations with any REST API. Custom integrations become available through AIPI just like built-in ones.
See API Builder for the full guide.
Event-Driven Triggers
Set up event listeners that fire when specific actions occur in Vantage:
| Event Type | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Record Created | Fires when a new record is inserted into a database | Trigger a welcome email when a new customer is added |
| Record Updated | Fires when an existing record is modified | Recalculate totals when an order status changes |
| Workflow Completed | Fires when a workflow finishes execution | Push results to your frontend in real time |
| Agent Response | Fires when an AI agent completes a response | Stream agent responses to your application's chat UI |
| Threshold Reached | Fires when a monitored metric crosses a defined boundary | Alert when inventory drops below minimum levels |
File & Document Operations
Read and write files across connected storage services:
| Operation | Description |
|---|---|
| Upload | Push files from your application to connected cloud storage |
| Download | Retrieve files and documents from storage |
| List | Browse file directories and metadata |
| Extract | Pull text, tables, and structured data from PDFs and documents |
| Generate | Create CSV, Excel, JSON, PDF, and text files from workflow data |
Dashboard Data Access
Read and push data to Vantage dashboards:
| Operation | Description |
|---|---|
| Read Tile Data | Retrieve the underlying data from any dashboard tile |
| Push Data | Send data from your application into a dashboard for visualization |
| Read Configuration | Get tile settings, filters, and layout information |
