From the moment the doors opened at SingleStore Now 2025, the energy was unmistakable. The venue – Nasdaq MarketSite, in the heart of Times Square – was the perfect backdrop for a conversation about the defining economic force of our time: artificial intelligence.
In the opening keynote, CEO Raj Verma acknowledged a hard truth: enterprise AI has yet to deliver on its full promise. A recentMIT studyfound that only 5% of enterprise AI pilots have reached production and produced measurable business impact.
Raj argued the root cause is clear:AI models lack context. Closing that context gap, he said, requires a fast, unified, and responsive data layer. Of course, that’s exactly what SingleStore delivers.
Maybe the biggest mic-drop moment of the event came from the SingleStore product team, with the debut of three breakthrough innovations set to define the next decade of AI applications.
Aura Analyst
Aura Analyst is a conversational analytics assistant that lets users explore data with natural language … no SQL required. This will provide a tremendous productivity boost for SingleStore customers as they build their data + AI apps, and soon, it will be embeddable directly into customer applications, turning any app into an AI-native experience. Think of it as the ChatGPT of data and AI apps. Click here for a short demo.
AI & ML Functions
AI & ML Functions offer built-in intelligence, now available natively in the database. With AI Functions, developers can invoke LLMs for summarization, sentiment analysis, embeddings, and more directly from SQL. ML functions allow them to train their own models and perform machine learning tasks like classification and anomaly detection without external pipelines. Combined with Python UDFs, these capabilities make the database itself a hub of real-time intelligence. Check out a short demo of AI Functions, and read more about ML Functions.
Zero Copy Attach
Want to experiment on live data without risk? Now you can. The Zero Copy Attach capability lets teams replicate production data into lightweight clusters within the same cluster group. That’s ideal for rapid testing, iteration and innovation, especially when paired with database branching. Click here for a short demo.
Each of these features reflects a simple but powerful belief: Intelligence belongs alongside the data.
By unifying data and AI in a single platform, SingleStore eliminates the friction and fragility of moving data across disconnected systems. The result? Decisions made with speed, trust and scale — in the very moment they matter.
These recent upgrades aren’t just product milestones. They’re a giant leap toward a new kind of enterprise — one where data, intelligence, and action form one continuous flow.
