OpenBB’s Open Data Platform: Local-First AI Data Pipelines (OSFF NY Preview)

Author: FINOS October 8, 2025 Duration: 21:36

🚀 Get a sneak peek of Ihsan Saracgil’s OSFF NY session on how OpenBB’s Open Data Platform (ODP) lets teams connect private, proprietary, and public financial data to AI—securely, locally, and on your terms.In this clip:Ihsan Saracgil, CPO, OpenBBTired of waiting on scarce engineering cycles for every integration? Ihsan shows how ODP gives data engineers a Python-native, local-first way to register extensions, wrap external sources as APIs, and serve them to downstream tools (copilots, notebooks, dashboards) with full control of credentials, execution, and access. He also breaks down why Model Context Protocol (MCP) is a game-changer: wire up tools to your AI copilot fast—so tasks that once required custom plumbing (even “send me that result via email”) become quick, safe, and auditable. With a lightweight GUI (Tauri) and standardized FastAPI/OpenAPI specs, ODP helps teams unify messy data pipelines without leaking business logic to third-party platforms.🎟️ See Ihsan’s full talk at OSFF New York (Oct 21–22, 2025).🌐 More about FINOS: https://www.finos.org/📧 Join our newsletter: https://www.finos.org/newsletter#FINOS #OSFFNY #OpenBB #OpenSourceInFinance #FinancialData #AI #Copilots #MCP #DataEngineering #LocalFirst


The FINOS Open Source in Finance Podcast, presented by FINOS, delves into the practical realities of applying open source principles within the financial sector. This isn't a theoretical discussion; it's a series of conversations with industry experts who share their direct experiences implementing specific technologies. Episodes explore the tangible benefits and challenges of projects focused on areas like desktop interoperability, which streamlines how complex applications work together, and low-code platforms that accelerate development. Listeners will hear detailed analysis on using synthetic data for testing and innovation, as well as approaches to effective data modeling. The dialogue extends into organizational strategy, covering best practices for establishing successful inner source programs and fostering collaborative development cultures inside large institutions. Each episode of this podcast focuses on a concrete use case or a pressing question at the intersection of finance and open collaboration, providing actionable insights rather than abstract concepts. It's a resource for professionals who want to understand how open source is actively shaping tools, processes, and competitive advantages in financial services today.
