Denodo Platform 9

Denodo Platform 9.0, introduced earlier this year, revolutionized data management by enabling seamless self-service, improving operational efficiency, and enhancing security protocols. It also laid the foundation for integrating AI capabilities into data management, helping organizations deliver data products faster and more securely.

Building on this strong foundation, Denodo Platform 9.1 introduces innovations that drive advanced analytics, accelerate AI-powered initiatives, and optimize cloud-based data environments. By improving data integration and query performance, automating data management with AI-driven tools, and streamlining the development of AI applications, this release empowers organizations to maximize the value of their data, reduce operational complexity, and drive faster, smarter business outcomes.

In addition to Denodo Platform 9.1, Denodo has also recently announced the availability of Agora, Denodo’s fully managed cloud service. While Agora is a separate solution, it includes all of the same capabilities as Denodo Platform 9.1, offering customers the flexibility of a fully managed environment. With Agora, organizations can leverage the power of the Denodo Platform in the cloud, without the need to manage infrastructure, so they can focus on innovation and business growth.

Delivering on the Promise of Intelligent Data Fabric with Denodo Assistant

Denodo Platform 9.1 introduces Denodo Assistant, an AI-powered toolkit that fully realizes the vision of an intelligent data fabric. Denodo Assistant intelligently connects and manages diverse data sources through AI-powered capabilities that augment or automate data-related tasks. By combining features that have been part of the Denodo Platform for years—such as recommended datasets and automatic summary recommendations—with new advancements from the 9.0 and 9.1 releases, Denodo Assistant delivers a comprehensive solution for data engineers and business users alike. These capabilities, both established and new, enable users to uncover insights faster, make better decisions, and extract more value from data with minimal manual effort.

The Key Features of Denodo Assistant

  • Assisted Query: Denodo Assistant enables business users to query data in natural language, through seamless integration with ChatGPT and other generative AI (GenAI) platforms, eliminating the need to write complex queries. This makes interacting with data as easy as asking a question, enabling users to instantly retrieve insights without IT support.
  • Data Preparation Wizard: With intelligent recommendations, Denodo Assistant enables users of all technical backgrounds to easily customize datasets. This enables data products to be quickly tailored to different use cases without constant involvement from the data team, freeing them to focus on more strategic tasks.
  • Suggestions for View and Column Descriptions: Denodo Assistant automatically generates meaningful descriptions for views and columns using AI, making data assets easier to create and understand. This improves data clarity, promotes collaboration across the organization, and enables faster onboarding, leading to more effective data governance.
  • Query Wizard Recommendations: Denodo Assistant provides step-by-step guidance through query creation, making it easier for users of all skill levels to generate accurate queries. This democratizes data access across the organization, fostering consistent data usage without overloading the technical staff.
  • Intelligent Autocompletion in VQL Shell: Denodo Assistant offers context-aware suggestions while users write queries, helping to construct them more efficiently. This reduces errors, accelerates query-building, and enables teams to access data without getting bogged down in technical details.
  • LLM-based Data Enrichment: Denodo Assistant enables users to automatically summarize text, extract information, analyze sentiment, remove sensitive data, and translate text using large language models (LLMs), available as a function call in VQL.
  • Recommended Datasets (existing feature): By automatically suggesting relevant datasets based on users’ previous activities, Denodo Assistant simplifies data discovery and accelerates self-service analytics. This helps teams quickly find the right data for analysis while also discovering new datasets, enabling new insights and smoother exploration. 
  • Automatic Summary Recommendations (existing feature): Denodo Assistant analyzes query patterns and recommends summary caches to optimize query performance. By improving execution speed, it provides faster access to critical insights, enabling timely business decisions without delays from slow data retrieval methods.

Accelerating the Next Generation of GenAI-Powered Agents and Applications

As generative AI (GenAI) continues to gain momentum in enterprises, Denodo Platform 9.1 introduces the Denodo AI SDK, an open-source toolkit to help developers create AI-powered applications and agents faster and with fewer obstacles. The Denodo AI SDK simplifies the integration of structured data into GenAI models, enabling higher accuracy and better performance for AI applications.

Key features include:

  • Open-Source Denodo AI SDK: This development toolkit accelerates the creation of AI-powered agents and applications, particularly those using retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) to leverage enterprise data.
  • Seamless Data Integration for AI Models: The SDK provides pre-built APIs and reusable components, simplifying the process of connecting real-time, governed data with large language models (LLMs) for AI applications.
  • Customizable and Scalable AI Solutions: With flexible integration options and a permissive open-source license, the Denodo AI SDK enables developers to tailor AI solutions to their specific needs, speeding up the deployment of AI-driven innovations.
