AI-Powered descriptions ✨

Catalog offers AI-powered documentation generation to help you quickly create high-quality descriptions for your Tables, Dashboards and Columns using available metadata and lineage context. With just a few clicks, you can dramatically reduce the time and effort required to maintain clear, consistent documentation across your data environnement.

AI Powered descriptions for Columns

You can leverage AI to document your columns as well by clicking on this button in the Description column on your table. It will generate the documentation for first thirty columns at a time. For each documented column you'll see "From AI Assistant" so you can easily identify them.

AI Powered descriptions for Tables & Dashboards

AI can also be leveraged to generate descriptions at the asset level.

Key Capabilities

• Metadata-Aware Generation The AI uses table and dashboard metadata, along with upstream lineage, to generate accurate and relevant descriptions.

• Template-Driven Consistency Documentation can be structured using your existing templates, ensuring consistency and alignment with your internal documentation standards.

• Multi-Query Insight The assistant goes beyond a single metadata snapshot—querying upstream dependencies to provide more contextually rich documentation.

• Faster, More Complete Documentation Generate comprehensive documentation in seconds, significantly lowering the overhead of manual documentation tasks.
