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. + +### Key features + +- Natural-language data science through AI chatbots +- Intuitive GUI-based workflows for data analysis +- Parallel backend engine for scalable big-data processing +- Real-time collaboration for workflow editing and execution +- User-defined functions in Python and Java +- Separation of compute and storage for flexible cloud deployment +- Runtime debugging and interactive workflow execution +- Cloud-native deployment support +- Multi-tenant support with workload isolation +- Extensible architecture for integrating external web services + +## What's new in 1.2.0-incubating + +Apache Texera 1.2.0-incubating is an incremental, stabilization-focused release.
