Hadera, Israel, September 8th, 2026, TechnologyWire

The new context layer connects to existing SQL databases and builds a governed, model-agnostic foundation for AI agents running on live operational data, in weeks rather than years.

RavenDB, a NoSQL document database used by more than 12,000 customers, today announced the launch of its new product, Quill, a context layer for SQL databases that makes them ready for production AI agents without migrating the system of record or architecting a custom AI stack. 

With AI becoming a board-level mandate, CTOs and VPs of engineering are under pressure to ship AI capabilities fast. But for organizations whose mission-critical data sits in legacy SQL systems, built years before embeddings or agents existed, AI can’t access their data. Modernizing or replacing the systems is expensive, risky, and time-consuming. By the time the system is updated, nobody remembers what the project was supposed to achieve or how ROI was measured.

Recently, a Gartner survey of infrastructure and operations leaders found that one in five AI initiatives fail, and only 28% report a positive ROI, which is linked to how well the technology is integrated, governed, and aligned with operational needs, not to the sophistication of the model. As AI becomes the industry standard, organizations have been left without a clear path to deliver, until now. 

“Anyone can stand up an AI demo in an afternoon, but getting that demo into production with data pipelines, semantic search, security, governance, all the plumbing a small proof of concept doesn’t need until it has to run at scale, is the hard part,” said Oren Eini, founder and CEO of RavenDB. “Quill exists because we’d rather hand teams that plumbing already assembled than watch them rebuild the same project after project. You get access to the live data you need, decide the scope on day one, and change it as you go, instead of building everything from scratch.” 

Quill connects directly to an organization’s existing SQL database and puts a context layer on top of it, making it possible to launch production-ready agents in weeks rather than the 18 to 24 months of a typical in-house build. The source system stays exactly where it is and remains authoritative, and the full AI stack, search, retrieval, and agents that can answer questions, are included. Agents built on Quill support web chat, WhatsApp, Telegram, Slack, and Discord out of the box.

“With Quill, the plumbing was already there, so we spent our time building the actual feature,” said Hagay Albo, CEO at Albos Technologies and Holdings, an early adopter of Quill. 

By default, Quill is governed, sitting between the AI and the source system, and it is built on the assumption that the model itself cannot be trusted with unrestricted access, so organizations decide exactly what an agent can and cannot see, independent of the source database’s own permissions. In a healthcare setting, for example, an agent can answer a patient’s question about an upcoming appointment, while prescription data is never part of the dataset it can query. What is usually a custom security project becomes a configuration choice. Quill is also model-agnostic, so teams can use any AI model, switch providers, or run entirely on their own hardware. 

Quill is now available for organizations running PostgreSQL, SQL Server, or MySQL, with more databases to be supported in the future, and can be deployed in the cloud or on-premises to meet data-residency or regulatory requirements.

Businesses and individuals anywhere in the world can now send payments that arrive as pesos in a Mexican bank account in seconds

Amboss Technologies, the payments platform that connects businesses to instant, global payments, and Aureo, the Mexican platform that converts Lightning payments directly into peso bank deposits, today announced an integration that links the global Lightning Network to Mexico’s banking system end to end.

Until now, the Lightning Network’s instant settlement stopped at the edge of Mexico’s financial system. With this integration, any business using Amboss Payments can route funds to an Aureo Lightning address and have them arrive as Mexican pesos in a bank account via SPEI, Mexico’s interbank transfer system, in seconds. A customer pays in bitcoin over the Lightning Network, and the recipient in Mexico receives pesos in their bank account without touching an exchange.

Lightning payments have become increasingly popular, with a reach of more than 900 million users globally through exchange apps including Coinbase, Binance, and Cash App. For businesses, Lightning payments cost less than traditional payment cards and settle instantly and finally, with no chargeback risk, making them an attractive supplement to card processing.

The timing reflects a large and underserved market. The United States and Mexico traded an estimated $872 billion in goods in 2025, making Mexico America’s largest trading partner, yet most cross-border business payments still move on slow and costly correspondent banking rails.

With Amboss and Aureo connected, a Mexican business can accept Lightning payments from customers across the United States and globally, hold balances in bitcoin, USDT, or USDC to manage treasury, and move funds to their Mexican bank account whenever they choose.

“Payment rails between the US and Mexico were designed decades ago, and businesses on both sides of the border pay for that every day,” said Jesse Shrader, CEO and Co-Founder of Amboss Technologies.

With Aureo, a Mexican business can accept payments from more than 900 million people through the apps they already use, at a lower cost than card processing, with no chargebacks, and receive pesos in its bank account within seconds. But the opportunity goes beyond accepting payments: Mexican and international businesses can also use the same infrastructure to send pesos to suppliers, contractors, workers, or any other recipient with a Mexican bank account. That is what modern cross-border settlement should look like.

Mexican businesses have always been ready to sell to the world. What they lacked was a payment rail that matched their ambition,” said Gustavo Flores, CEO and Founder of Aureo. “By connecting to Amboss, we make it possible for any business in Mexico to accept instant payments from customers anywhere and receive pesos directly in its bank account, fully compliant with Mexican regulations. Through Aureo’s Direct to Bank feature, a business only needs to set up an Aureo Lightning address once and link it to its Mexican bank account. From that point on, incoming Lightning payments are automatically converted and deposited as pesos, removing the complexity of creating and paying individual Lightning invoices. This is the missing link between the global economy and the Mexican banking system.

The integration is live today. Aureo appears in the Destinations and Integrations sections of the Amboss Payments app, where users can direct incoming payments to any Aureo Lightning address. Aureo operates in full compliance with Mexican regulatory requirements, including KYC verification for all users.

About Amboss Technologies

Amboss connects businesses to instant, global payments with stable money. Businesses send and receive bitcoin with instant conversion to USDT or USDC for no volatility into self-custody. Learn more about reaching 900M+ compatible customers at amboss.tech or meet here.
