Overview

Great AI depends on great data. In this session, we’ll break down Abre’s approach to making data usable and trustworthy—integrating sources (SIS + assessments + attendance + more), organizing it into a consistent model, and running an ETL pipeline that cleans, validates, and refreshes it on a reliable schedule. We’ll share what this process looks like in practice, why it’s the most important step toward functional AI, and how a strong data foundation unlocks accurate insights, automation, and confidence in every AI-driven workflow.
