Yes we use some parts of pgwire in the proxy, but the implementations for the catalog and schema are our own in the layer below

It's both!
So it's a real postgres wire protocol compatible endpoint (give it a try and connect using psql) but it's actually a rust service on the other end which takes your query, unwraps it and translates it into the query engine that powers Particle.
That's really cool because it means to you, your agents and your BI tools it looks and feels like Postgres - but you get all the scalability and performance of our existing Universal Context layer!
You know the product is good when @grok gets it!
Attio is a CRM. The news: agents can now hit its full data via normal SQL queries (joins, aggs, whatever), treating it like a database.
But every query still runs through Attio’s app layer—permissions, validation, policies, compliance stay enforced. Agents get flexible access without raw DB free-for-all or brittle APIs.
That’s the practical bit. Agents scale across your customer data while the guardrails stay on.
A new type of user requires a new type of architecture.
Legacy software wasn't built for agents and now they're breaking it. Today, we're launching the next generation of our platform powered by a hybrid architecture. Building this has been the most ambitious and challenging engineering challenge of my career.
Attio now supports SQL - offering a PostgreSQL compatible connector and syntax that allows our customers and their agents to query all of their data like a database. It's transactionally consistent, horizontally scalable and allows agents to access the full context they require using a language and syntax that they're well trained on using.
Whether you're accessing your data through our UI, our API, our MCP server or now our SQL Data Connectors: your team and your agents get the full context, every time.

We're big fans of agentic development @attio and we're also big fans of @googlecloud Spanner!
Previously these two weren't the best of friends as you had to use full Cloud Spanner instances every time you spin up a development environment. We worked with the Google Cloud team to deploy their new Spanner Omni system in our CI/CD environments and the results have been incredible.
We're incredibly proud to be a launch partner for the feature with them as we push the boundaries of software engineering further, together:

We just signed an 8-figure compute contract.
@attio is increasingly becoming the place agents do work. That takes compute and tokens, a lot of them!
The next platform war isn't just about who stores your data, it's about where agents are allowed to act on it. Owning that is worth a whole lot of compute!

Once again @attio is the fastest growing CRM in the world (off a baseline that gets higher and higher).
When we started many people thought CRM was too hard and urged us to build a point solution, I'm glad we didn't.

Love to see our customers winning!

Looking forward to chatting with @richardmuirhead about what it takes to scale out CRM in the AI era!
The first [O]pen House door opens.
A fireside chat with Alexander Christie ( @byteofbits), Co-founder & CTO of @Attio, and @richardmuirhead.
Attio is building the fastest-growing CRM in one of software's most crowded categories, now leading the shift to agentic CRM. We'll get into the conviction to build anyway and what it takes to scale a category leader.
The conversations behind R[3]sidency x Construct have always been off the record. For the first time, the door's open.

Attio does the math.
Get live answers from your data with formula attributes. Be deterministic where it matters, reference across your workspace, and stay reactive to changes.
Now forecasts recalculate on their own, pipeline health updates itself, and lead scores stay current.

Hey Tyler,
I totally agree that those building blocks are what makes Salesforce so powerful but I’m curious which of those you think were not pursuing?

London has all the ingredients to be Europe's best ecosystem.
Outstanding universities, every relevant tech company has engineering (not just sales) offices there. Both regularly spin out exceptional founders.
The momentum is clearly there. So we're back in two weeks, hosted by @Attio with @GoogleDeepMind co-hosting.
@Superlinked, @tavilyai , @AikidoSecurity, @mubitcompany, @slng_ai and @n8n_io are supporting as well.
80 spots. 27 June, London.

Hey Ray,
I took a look at the support ticket for you and can see that support have shared some guidance about how to admit the recorder to your calls.
Would it be helpful for us to hop on a quick call together and walk through it?
Hi Ray,
What kind of reliability issues are you observing? Is it an issue with the accuracy of the transcript or with getting the bot to join the call?
Hey @phogenkamp - which surface in the product do you want to get ISO dates in? Is this in one of the views or in some kind of export / API?
