Kapso – Iterative learning from enterprise data

Hey HN! We're Alireza and Majid building Leeroo (https://leeroo.com/). Previously we’ve built AI systems for products with millions of users, including at LinkedIn and Meta. We’re now focusing on building AI systems for enterprise data. Today, we're open-sourcing Kapso (https://github.com/Leeroo-AI/kapso), an engine that runs experiments, deploys the best solution, and learns from every run.The nature of data work is iterative: investigate, form hypotheses, experiment, and improve based on what you learn. This bottom-up process is the only way to deliver meaningful outcomes quickly in large, messy enterprise data environments. Consultants gathering context in meetings or teams defining a business ontology upfront to fit into the data has no chance of execution, in quarters and sometimes years. An AI-native system should automate this process, compounding learning to each new investigation and implementation.For instance, one of our enterprise projects was moving a company off its old data estate onto a lakehouse with more than 30 source-system families, thousands of tables and transformations, and hundreds of BI reports. No individual or AI agent knew how that data estate was connected and operated. The only way to learn it was to investigate the company's repos, dbt models, documentation, and data itself and propose hypotheses about the estate, run experiments, and learn from them, until we understand how each system behaves and under which conditions.The iterative work goes beyond understanding how data and systems fit together, and the business operations. Building useful software is iterative too. Whether you’re optimizing a warehouse, building a lakehouse pipeline or predicting churn, you need to run experiments and learn what works best in that environment. As you deliver more projects, that know-how compounds, similar in principle to RL. RAGing documentation has little value until it has been tried in a specif

high confidence

Competition

No competitor data yet

Trend

No signal yet

Kapso automates iterative learning from complex enterprise data to accelerate understanding and improve data-driven decisions.

The pain

Enterprise data environments are large, messy, and require slow, manual, iterative investigation to understand and optimize, causing delays and inefficiencies.

The gap

Existing tools do not automate the iterative hypothesis-experiment-learn cycle needed to quickly grasp and improve complex data estates.

Build angle

Experienced AI founders can build a technically sophisticated engine that compounds learning across projects, leveraging open source to gain adoption.

Strengths

  • Clear and significant pain point in enterprise data management
  • Strong technical founding team with relevant AI and product experience
  • Open source approach can accelerate adoption and community contributions
  • Focus on iterative learning aligns with real-world enterprise workflows

Risks

  • Unclear monetization and customer acquisition strategy
  • Complexity of enterprise environments may slow adoption
  • Competition from established enterprise data and AI vendors
  • Need to prove product-market fit and scalability beyond initial projects
