data.world, the industry’s most-utilized data catalog with a user base exceeding two million, has unveiled its Data Catalog Platform enhanced with Generative AI capabilities. This advancement aims to streamline data discovery processes, enabling a broader spectrum of users to access and leverage organizational knowledge, irrespective of their technical proficiency.
The platform introduces a suite of embeddable AI bots designed to automate various aspects of data management, including DataOps, data governance, and data discovery. Notably, the Archie Bots utilize large language models (LLMs) such as OpenAI’s GPT to significantly reduce the manual effort traditionally required to locate and comprehend data. Additionally, Eureka™ Bots offer data governance automations that expedite resource documentation and enhance coverage for data assets, while BB Bots facilitate data quality communications to promote the use of high-quality data. Collectively, these tools empower data consumers, governance professionals, and producers like data engineers to operate more efficiently and effectively.
This integration marks data.world’s inaugural incorporation of Generative AI functionalities into its Data Catalog Platform. Developed through data.world’s AI Lab and refined in collaboration with customer design partners, the Archie Bots merge the platform’s knowledge graph architecture with LLMs, including OpenAI’s GPT.

The Archie Bots serve as virtual data analysts, assisting users in understanding data, generating ideas, and creating value. Key functionalities include:
-
AI-assisted data discovery: Users can swiftly locate and refine data searches through a conversational interface, minimizing time spent sifting through search results and maximizing comprehension.
-
Automated enrichment of data assets: Archie Bots can generate natural language descriptions for tables, columns, glossary entries, and metadata resources such as views, SQL queries, dbt models, and access policies, thereby reducing the manual effort needed for data asset enrichment and enhancing productivity and understanding.
-
Guided ideation for deeper exploration: For users uncertain about how to leverage specific data, Archie Bots propose research questions and analytic hypotheses, aiding both data experts and non-experts in deriving business value from data.
-
Natural language to SQL conversion: Archie Bots enable users to translate natural language inquiries into structured SQL queries, accompanied by plain English descriptions, facilitating access to deeper organizational knowledge typically reserved for those proficient in SQL.
In conjunction with recent DataOps automation initiatives, data.world is expanding the potential of data catalogs to drive transformative business outcomes.
To explore data.world’s Generative AI capabilities further, interested parties can join the upcoming digital event on May 23, which will feature a live demonstration. Additional resources include insights on how Archie Bots lower barriers to data-driven decision-making and discussions on the current surge of innovation in the data space from Brett Hurt, CEO and co-founder of data.world. Moreover, information on how the new Generative AI capabilities enhance data.world’s integration with Snowflake’s policy features is available.
