Overview
SATIF is an AI toolkit for simplifying and automating the transformation of ANY input files into ANY output files.
Core Architecture
SATIF utilizes a two-layer architecture:
- Standardization Layer: Ingests heterogeneous source files (CSV, Excel, PDF, XML, etc.) and transforms them into SDIF, a structured intermediate format.
- Transformation Layer: Applies business logic to the standardized data to generate the target output files, with transformation code either written manually or generated by AI.
SDIF: The Intermediate Format
SDIF (Stantardized Data Interoperable Format) is the standardized SQLite representation that:
- Stores a Datasource as structured tables alongside JSON objects and binary media
- Maintains rich metadata about data origins, structure, and relationships
- Provides direct SQL queryability for complex transformations
- Creates a consistent interface between standardization and transformation
Workflow
- BUILD: Generate transformation code via AI based on example inputs/outputs and instructions
- RUN: Execute the full pipeline (standardization → transformation) on new inputs
- REFINE: Iteratively improve the pipeline through feedback and error handling
SATIF eliminates the need to write custom parsing logic, letting you focus on your business transformation requirements.
Key Capabilities
- Any Format Support: Process virtually any input, even challenging unstructured content (PDFs, complex Excel sheets)
- AI-Powered Code Generation: Automatically generate transformation code from examples and natural language instructions
- Robust Schema Enforcement: Handle input data drift and schema inconsistencies through configurable validation
- SQL-Based Data Processing: Query and manipulate all data using SQL
- Decoupled Processing Stages: Standardize once, transform many times with different logic
