Tiger Data launches PostgreSQL extension designed for AI agents
Tiger Data today introduced a managed PostgreSQL database service designed specifically for AI agents, saying conventional database architectures are poorly suited to a future in which software is increasingly built and operated by autonomous agents.
The New York-based company, whose business name is Timescale Inc., said the new Ghost service addresses a growing need for infrastructure that supports large-scale experimentation by coding and workflow agents. The service is generally available today.
Founded 10 years ago, Tiger Data has evolved from its roots building a PostgreSQL extension for time-series data “into a database platform that’s used across 3,000 customers,” said co-founder and Chief Executive Ajay Kulkarni. Ghost is built on PostgreSQL but reimagines how databases are provisioned and consumed by AI systems, he said.
“The idea is that all new applications are being built with coding agents,” Kulkarni said. “We believe the agent is the future packaging of software. Instead of an application, users want outcomes.”
