The team that makes your data AI-ready.
Documentation has been an unsolved problem for years, and AI needs more documentation than humans can write. Context Agents are the AI teammates that write, maintain, and continuously evolve the documentation your team never did.
Data catalogs were built for humans... who never documented them.
In 2023, Atlan launched the first AI documentation agent in the industry.
We called it Atlan AI. It could write descriptions automatically, and we shipped it. But accuracy was in the 70s. Good enough to show the vision, but not good enough to replace human work.
We quickly realized accuracy at scale required a foundational rebuild.
AI needed to access rich signals — lineage, query history, usage patterns, relationships between assets. Atlan stored all of that. But AI couldn't use it. So we rebuilt the foundation: the Context Lakehouse. Every agent now has full access to every signal.
Today, context agents are outperforming humans on documentation quality.
Not just faster. Better. Customers are telling us the agent-written descriptions are more accurate and more complete than what their teams were producing manually. The bar has moved.

Start With What Matters
Most of your catalog nobody touches. Context Agents identify your Gold Layer, Popular BI, Popular SQL, and upstream dependencies first — enriching the assets people actually use before spending cycles on the long tail. Value shows up in days, not months.
AI Scores Every Output
Each agent output carries a composite confidence score across accuracy, clarity, style, and completeness. High-confidence outputs auto-apply. Lower-confidence outputs route to humans.
Humans Decide & Govern.
AI generates descriptions, classifies assets, builds metrics, and scores quality at scale. Stewards shift from documentation to certification — sampling, validating, and resolving the cases that require judgment. One click. Not 847 manual reviews.
