Move Out of the Alteryx Black Box

Absolutely not. Your analysts won’t have to give up any visual development capabilities when you leave Alteryx. Prophecy has an equally robust visual canvas with rich data preparation operators to support low-code users. What's more, your analysts will get AI agents that make visual development faster and simpler. Bringing change that empowers them like the change that coders got with AI agents.

The truth is, engineers are wary of the outputs of most low-code tools, for very good reasons. But uniquely in Prophecy, visual data workflows are code underneath. For engineers to put these workflows into production, they simply access native code with tests for their own cloud data platform. They still review, test, and extend the generated code as with any other Spark or SQL project.

Prophecy provides Claude Code specialized for data, capable of generating million-line codebases and handling the most complex data workflows. There are two key elements to producing trusted results. First, user prompts generate workflows that can be visually inspected and validated step by step. Second, even the most complex workflows can be built by stitching together smaller segments one by one — with each segment validated and trusted along the way.

Most teams migrate incrementally in phases to control risk and keep business impact to a minimum. No big-bang rewrite required.

• Start with high-impact, low complexity workflows and work up from there
• Use the Alteryx Migration Tool (Transpiler) to import and refine workflows systematically
• Validate generated code quality
• Run systems side-by-side before decommissioning to ensure business continuity

The Transpiler imports existing Alteryx workflows, tests them in the Prophecy environment, fixes errors and data mismatches using AI and finally delivers a modernized visual workflow that looks similar to the original workflow. The workflows are converted with 90%+ accuracy, and the final refinements can then be made in the visual canvas.

Prophecy supports transpiling Alteryx workflows into Databricks SQL and other SQL formats will be supported.

Companies typically switch to Prophecy to:

• Reduce per-seat licensing costs

• Avoid the cost of managing a second execution system, instead aligning with your data platform
• Avoid the cost of rewrites for moving workflows to production

Prophecy is licensed per user annually, with the compute cost paid to Databricks, effectively cutting the licensing spend more or less in half.

Yes, Prophecy lets you save specific data handling logic as reusable functions. These can be called within the visual canvas as needed, for consistent application of rules like data privacy or calculations. This is particularly important in highly regulated industries and applications where mistakes in data handling can have catastrophic consequences.

Prophecy pushes compute to Databricks, tracking query history and inheriting Unity Catalog's role-based access controls, thereby providing full data lineage in a cloud-based environment. We similarly support Snowflake and BigQuery.

Code ownership and Git integration for your business logic are foundational to the Prophecy approach. Users retain full ownership of their generated SQL code, which can run inside and outside of Prophecy, and even supports the importing of dbt projects from Git repositories. All of which means you can walk away with all your code and projects any time.

We are working hard to deliver a service that will work for you forever. But if the time ever comes when you have to leave, you’ll have one last gigantic reason to be glad you chose Prophecy today.
