Chord is rebuilding Copilot on Anthropic models, Enriched Context, and a breaking SQL infra change.

◆Current state
Chord is a CDP that has spent the last quarter rebuilding its Copilot AI from the inside. The reasoning layer switched to Anthropic models, the context capture got expanded as Enriched Context, and the SQL generation pipeline took a breaking infrastructure change. Around that, the regular CDP work — Iterable data modeling, searchable tables, Activations sync redesign — continues at a steady release cadence.
◆Where it's heading
Copilot is becoming the product. Each release this year has tied AI further into the CDP's core data plane — modeling, querying, activations — rather than treating it as a sidebar. Live documentation grounding and feedback memory in the latest release signal a push to keep Copilot accurate as the schema evolves underneath it.
◆Prediction
Expect a deeper agentic move where Copilot proposes activations or builds segments end-to-end. The Iterable-style data modeling work hints at where AI assistance lands next.

    April 22 – May 5 release: Copilot upgrades and more

    Introduces Enriched Context, a set of grounding upgrades that feed Copilot more of the surrounding data schema for accuracy. Pairs with the breaking SQL-generation infra change two weeks earlier — both are reliability bets on the AI layer.

    Copilot Infrastructure Update — Breaking Change

    Breaking infrastructure update to Copilot's SQL generation, leveraging the expanded context shipped alongside Enriched Context. Chord is rebuilding the AI core in two-week bursts rather than annual rewrites, and accepting compatibility breaks along the way.
