AI-Based Features

Alation Cloud Service Applies to Alation Cloud Service instances of Alation

Alation leverages AI technologies to enhance user experience and streamline data discovery processes:

• ALLIE AI Suggested Descriptions—Powered by generative AI, this feature automates the creation of descriptive documentation on catalog pages. Suggested Descriptions analyzes context in the data catalog to generate accurate and contextually relevant Descriptions, helping reduce manual curation effort. The feature is available on Alation Cloud Service instances on the cloud-native architecture and New User Experience.

• Intelligent Search—Driven by a non-generative AI technology known as a sentence transformer LLM (Large Language Model), this feature enhances the search functionality with the ability to understand and process natural language queries. It allows the system to return search results that are not just keyword-based but deeply relevant to the query’s context. The feature is available on Alation Cloud Service instances on the cloud-native architecture and both New User Experience and Classic User Experience.
