The AI platform for data

The data within the resource does not leave the workspace. The only data sent to OpenAI is the metadata in your workspace. Metadata is defined as properties and documentation describing your resources, including Owners, Tags, Descriptions, Definitions, Popularity, Resource Names, etc. Learn more about Secoda AI Security.

Yes. With the Secoda Chrome extension, you can find and edit Secoda metadata directly in the most popular BI and data warehouse tools such as Looker, Tableau, Snowflake, BigQuery, and more. Learn more about Secoda’s AI-powered Chrome Extension.

Absolutely not. All metadata is specific to your workspace and is not shared or accessible by anyone who isn't granted access to your workspace. You cannot ask the AI Assistant about metadata that is not in your workspace.

Secoda AI leverages OpenAI. OpenAI is GDPR compliant and takes data privacy very seriously. They have implemented measures to ensure compliance with GDPR and other data privacy laws, such as providing users with the ability to delete their data and implementing data protection impact assessments.

With a chat-based interface, think of it as your personal AI assistant for your data stack. It lets anyone at a company, regardless of technical ability, answer any data question at the speed of thought.

Secoda uses a proprietary embeddings model trained on metadata (tables, columns, lineage, docs) and Retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) to pull context from your data stack in real time.

Secoda AI can tell you what things mean across your database, dashboards, metrics, queries etc; write queries to certain tables and explain queries;
tell you what are relationships between tables for natural language lineage analysis; write dbt / airflow / sql / LookML code with context about your data stack; and more. Explore AI trends

Secoda AI parses and understands SQL, models, dbt YAML, dbt tests, lineage graphs, metrics, and any related documentation to generate insights from across your entire data stack.

Secoda AI is role-aware and fully controllable. Based on the user type (analyst, engineer, etc) Teams can create dedicated personas to tailor outputs and scope access. Configurable governance rules enforce tone, visibility, and compliance.

Data discovery and cataloging use cases for Secoda AI include:

Automatic documentation: AI generates descriptions for tables, columns, dashboards, etc., reducing the time analysts spend writing documentation.

Column and table classification: Automatically tags and classifies data based on content (e.g. PII detection), helping with compliance and governance.

Data lineage mapping: Secoda AI helps identify upstream/downstream dependencies across tools like dbt, Snowflake, Looker, etc.

Centralized data knowledge hub: AI surfaces the most relevant and trusted data assets in one place, integrated across tools.

Reduce dependency on Slack/Notion/tribal knowledge: Answer repetitive questions automatically, freeing up your data team and letting them spend time on higher-value work.

Data governance use cases for Secoda AI include:

Policy enforcement: Automatically detect undocumented assets or broken ownership chains, and prompt the right people to fix them.

Audit trails: Track changes to metadata, documentation, ownership, and access permissions for governance and compliance reviews.

PII scanning and tagging: Automatically tags and classifies data based on content (e.g. PII detection), helping with compliance and governance.

Some data analysis use cases for Secoda AI include:

Faster analysis with natural language : Ask plain-English questions like “What’s the churn rate for Q4?” and get guided to the right tables, queries, or dashboards.

Smart query assistance: Speeds up query building, especially when navigating complex schemas or joining unfamiliar tables.

Faster time to value: Analysts can respond to ad-hoc stakeholder questions faster, with fewer clarifying back-and-forths. If stakeholders have access, they can even self-serve on common data questions using AI.
