Abstract

Production data integration is bottlenecked by repeated, lossy handoffs between data owners, engineers, and analysts who must collaboratively discover, structure, and query enterprise data. We present Data Intelligence Agents (DIA), a system of three agents (Data Interpreter, Schema Creator, and Query Generator) that compresses this workflow by treating autonomous coding agents (ACAs) as a first-class abstraction: rather than emitting text, the agents generate, execute, validate, and repair concrete artifacts, draw on a shared memory for experience reuse, and surface each for review by domain experts. DIA is deployed in production for enterprise customers. We study the Query Generator in depth and evaluate it in fully autonomous mode across seven SQL benchmarks spanning four task categories and four dialects. It matches or surpasses the best published results on all seven, demonstrating that an architecture grounded in execution, built on ACAs and a shared memory, generalizes across the data intelligence workload with adaptation confined to natural-language instructions.

Towards Autonomous Business Intelligence via Data-to-Insight Discovery Agent

Transforming fragmented enterprise data into actionable insights remains a significant challenge for LLMs, constrained by complex database schemas, limitations in dynamic SQL generation, and the need for deep multi-dimensional analysis.In this paper, we propose AIDA(Autonomous Insight Discovery Agent), the first end-to-end framework designed for autonomous exploration in complex business environments. We establish a highly flexible instant retail environment encompassing 200+ metrics and 100+ dimensions, and integrates a proprietary Domain-Specific Language (DSL) that bridges semantic reasoning with precise SQL execution. Our reinforcement learning system subsequently formulates business analysis as a Pareto Principle-guided cumulative reasoning process. Experimental results demonstrate that AIDA significantly outperforms workflow-based agents, and extensive evaluations further reveal that AIDA achieves superior environmental perception and more in-depth analysis from diverse perspectives. Our work ultimately establishes the transformative potential of autonomous intelligence for industrial-scale business intelligence systems.

QwenPaw-Data: Bridging Facts, Methodology, and Execution for Autonomous Enterprise Data Analytics

Enterprise data analysis is emerging as a distinct frontier for autonomous agents. Compared with general-purpose interaction and software engineering, it operates in an open, ambiguous, and continuously evolving environment. These characteristics call for a data-agent architecture that treats semantics, methodology, execution, and evolution as first-class system concerns. To this end, we introduce QwenPaw-Data, an agentic data system designed for enterprise intelligent data analysis. QwenPaw-Data consolidates heterogeneous assets from warehouses, dashboards, documents, interaction logs, and historical tasks into reusable, governable, and evolvable analysis assets, then turns natural-language requests into end-to-end analytical workflows spanning data understanding, retrieval, analysis, report generation, and decision support. Its architecture decomposes the problem into three collaborative subsystems: DataBridge provides trustworthy semantic grounding through interconnected metadata, knowledge, and trace graphs; Skill-Hub codifies expert analytical methodology into reusable and verifiable skills; and Host materializes these evidence and method assets into controllable, artifact-centric runtime execution. Across these subsystems, semantics, methods, traces, and feedback are continuously deposited back into the system, forming a self-evolving asset flywheel. Experiments on public benchmarks and real-world industrial BI workloads show that QwenPaw-Data improves both verifiable data access capability and higher-level analytical quality, offering a practical foundation for reliable, traceable, and continuously improving enterprise data agents.

CODA-BENCH: Can Code Agents Handle Data-Intensive Tasks?

Advanced agents are increasingly demonstrating the potential to operate as autonomous engineers, creating a growing demand for evaluation benchmarks that capture the complexity of real-world development. Such environments typically involve both complex code and large-scale data (i.e., file system). However, existing benchmarks usually evaluate code-centric or data-centric capabilities in isolation, leaving a clear gap with real development scenarios. In this paper, we bridge this gap by introducing CODA-BENCH, the first benchmark to jointly evaluate code and data intelligence in a data-intensive environment. We construct a data-intensive Linux sandbox based on the Kaggle ecosystem (containing hundreds of datasets), where agents must actively explore complex file hierarchies to identify relevant resources and generate code for data-driven analytical tasks. CODA-BENCH comprises 1,009 tasks spanning 31 communities, with each task environment containing an average of 980 files, simulating realistic data scale and noise. Evaluations of advanced agents reveal that even top-performing systems struggle to effectively integrate data discovery with code execution, achieving a success rate of only 61.1%. These results highlight a substantial gap in current agentic capabilities for data-intensive tasks and point to promising directions for future research.
