Inside Celigo Ora: Learnings, surprises, and what's next

Celigo Ora is an AI assistant that can do anything the Celigo platform can do — build an integration from scratch, add users, change permissions, read an error at runtime and tell you what went wrong — through plain language. It's now generally available.Matt Graney, Chief Product Officer at Celigo, walks Nate through what Ora does, how it got built, and learnings from the the beta.What you'll learn:▸ What Ora is and what it can reach — account administration, building from scratch, error diagnosis from a pasted screenshot, and runtime troubleshooting, all in one interface▸ How Ora investigates an error the way a senior admin would: read the message, search for it, read the API documentation, check the audit history to see if someone changed the flow last week▸ Why an assistant that maps your whole account up front makes impact analysis cheap instead of expensive▸ The control model — same access as the user, explicit approval before any change, attribution in the audit log, and rollback through version control and integration lifecycle management▸ How IT scopes the connections it hands to line-of-business builders, so read-only stays read-only whether a human or Ora is driving▸ Why the maintenance phase, not the build, is where integration TCO accumulates — and what the beta data proved about where AI earns its keep▸ What Celigo learned running an open beta with no customer restrictions, including turning a thumbs-down into an automated engineering test case the next release has to pass▸ The unplanned unlock of an LLM-powered interface — users prompting Ora in Japanese and Turkish in a product with no localized UI▸ Where headless tooling (CLI, platform MCP server) wins versus a chat-driven UI, and why net-new builds and last-mile refinement may end up split between them▸ What's next: invoking Ora from a link with a pre-filled prompt, scheduled prompts, and Ora building your MCP tools and agent promptsIf you can describe it, Ora can do it — inside the permissions you already have. Now generally available.
