Connect AI: Build Your Own Connector

No company’s data stack ever fully catches up. There’s always a Source that falls outside the standard list.

Maybe it’s a SaaS tool your team picked up last quarter. A niche platform built for your specific industry, or an internal tool your own engineers put together and never expected anyone outside the company to need to connect to.

Whatever it is, the problem is the same: your data platform has no connector for it.

Traditionally, you’ve had three choices:

• Wait weeks or months for your data platform to build the connector.
• Ask your engineering team to build and maintain one.
• Use a connector SDK and take on the code, infrastructure, monitoring, and maintenance yourself.

Connect AI changes this. Give it the documentation for your REST API, and it builds the connector in hours - no code for you to write, no infrastructure to deploy. Once validated, the connector is deployed on Hevo and Hevo owns it from there: operated, monitored, and maintained on your behalf, the same as any native connector.

How It Works

1. Provide documentation. Share the API documentation for your Source - a documentation URL, an OpenAPI or Swagger specification, or other supported formats.
2. Connect AI analyzes and builds. It understands the API, identifies available resources and authentication requirements, and generates the connector.
3. Hevo deploys it. Once validated, the connector starts syncing data into your Destination.

The Catalog Covers The Common Case. Connect AI Covers Everything Else.

Hevo already provides 150+ native connectors across the databases, SaaS tools, and platforms most businesses rely on. But no catalog, no matter how large, will ever cover every application a company uses and that gap only widens as more software gets adopted.

Connect AI splits the problem in two:

• Common Sources run on a native Hevo connector, built and hardened over time.
• Everything else gets a new connector from Connect AI, built on demand.

Your connectivity strategy no longer needs to depend on whether a Source already exists in a catalog.

The Catalog Size Race Doesn’t Matter Anymore

For years, data platforms have marketed themselves on connector count - 500 here, 1,000 there. But a bigger number was never really the point. What matters is whether the specific tools your business runs on are covered; the ones you’re using now, and the ones you’ll adopt next year that don’t exist yet.

With Connect AI, the relevant question isn’t “Does Hevo have this connector?”. It’s simply: “Does this Source expose a supported REST API?”

That’s the only thing that determines whether you get one.

Your Teams Won’t Stop Adopting New Software

New tools, internal applications, and data Sources will keep appearing faster than any static catalog can keep up with. Your data infrastructure shouldn’t be the thing holding you back from adopting what you need next.
