Chuck uses Amperity's years of experience and patented identity resolution models, trained on billions of data sets across 400+ enterprise brands, as critical knowledge behind the AI.

As pressure mounts to deliver business-ready insights quickly, data engineers are hitting a wall: while infrastructure has modernized, the work of preparing customer data still relies on manual code and brittle rules-based systems. Chuck changes that by enabling data engineers to “vibe code” - using natural language prompts to delegate complex engineering tasks to an AI assistant.

Chuck connects directly to a user’s Databricks environment, leveraging native compute and large language model (LLM) endpoints to execute high-impact workflows like identity resolution, compliance tagging, and data profiling.

“Customer data engineering is full of repetitive, painful work, so we built Chuck to get rid of it,” said Derek Slager, co-founder and CTO at Amperity. “Chuck understands your data and helps you get stuff done faster, whether you’re stitching identities or tagging PII. No orchestration, no UI gymnastics—it’s just fast, contextual, and command-driven.”

Key Features of Chuck Data:

Built for Databricks, Backed by Amperity’s Identity Expertise

Chuck runs entirely in your terminal, using your Databricks environment for compute, storage, and LLM execution. With a single install, engineers can run natural language commands that eliminate manual code and deliver accurate, scalable customer profiles.

A core capability of Chuck is running Amperity’s patented identity resolution algorithm - the same trusted Stitch technology used in its enterprise CDP. Users can run unlimited free Stitch on datasets up to 1 million records with a generous budget of credits for larger data sets included for free with the research preview program.

Paid plans unlock unlimited runs, access to Amperity’s stable ID algorithm, and enterprise support.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Former NFL coach Rex Ryan turned himself in to Nashville police Wednesday on misdemeanor charges after he allegedly hit two pedestrians with his vehicle in a popular area downtown last week and then drove off after an argument, police said.

Ryan was driving a pickup truck when he allegedly ran over the feet of both individuals, who had the right of way crossing a main street in Nashville's honky-tonk and music tourist district Thursday night, police said in a release Wednesday.

The pedestrians involved, who sustained minor injuries, waved Ryan down at the next red light and said he stepped out to argue with them, according to police. They took a photo of the driver and the license plate on the vehicle, police said.

Ryan, an ESPN football analyst, was on the network Sunday for the NFL pregame show and Monday for a morning show, both of which are taped in New York.

Ryan showed up at Nashville's Downtown Detention Center early Wednesday, according to the Davidson County Sheriff’s Office. He was later released.

Online records did not identify an attorney for Ryan. A phone number believed to be Ryan’s had an automatic outgoing message, and a message could not be left.

Ryan was charged with two counts of leaving the scene of an accident, two counts of failure to give information or render aid and two counts of failure to obey a traffic control signal, according to court records. All are misdemeanors.

A judicial commissioner set Ryan’s bond at $6,000, but he qualified for pretrial release, which means he was released on non-financial conditions. He is scheduled to appear in court next month.

Ryan is a former head coach of the Buffalo Bills and New York Jets, leading the Jets to the AFC championship game in consecutive years after the 2009 and 2010 seasons.

While with the Jets, Ryan became one of the team’s — and the NFL’s -- most popular figures, especially during his first few seasons as coach, because of his brash, colorful approach in news conferences that became must-watch TV.

He has not coached since being fired by the Bills with one game left in the 2016 season, though he has since expressed an interest in coaching and interviewed in 2025 for the Jets’ head coaching vacancy when Aaron Glenn was hired.

His father, the late Buddy Ryan, was an NFL coaching legend who famously coordinated the 1985 Chicago Bears defense that was one of the best in history. Seth Ryan, one of Rex Ryan’s two sons, is currently in his first season as the Jets’ passing game coordinator.

Ryan is best known now for his work at ESPN as one of the analysts on the network’s NFL pregame show.

“We are aware and are in touch with Rex,” ESPN said in a statement Wednesday.

Fingerhut reported from Des Moines, Iowa. Associated Press writers Dennis Waszak Jr. in Florham Park, New Jersey, and Joe Reedy in Cleveland contributed.
