 Very excited to announce v2024 of our ALTOVA software which introduces brand new AI Assistants in multiple products as well as long-awaited support for PDF data integration in MapForce. Other features include Markdown editing support, split output preview for business report creation, support for new XBRL standards, and much more.
AI integration in XMLSpy immediately boosts productivity for XML and JSON development tasks by generating schemas, instance documents, and sample data based on natural language prompts. The AI Assistant can also generate XSL, XPath, and XQuery code.
And in DatabaseSpy you will find and AI Chat Dialog that lets you use ChatGPT integration to create sample SQL statements, create sample data for a given table structure, create relations between tables that have no keys yet, and so on. Once you send a request and receive the response, you can copy and paste the returned SQL into an existing file or create a new SQL file with the response. 
AI Assistant: extensions in the SQL Editor menu also let you use AI to explain, pretty print, and complete SQL statements.
