AI-Powered Checks

Alation’s AI integration provides intelligent check suggestions based on column metadata and naming patterns. The system analyzes the data assets for column names and its semantic meaning, data types and constraints, and historical usage patterns.

A typical suggested check would follow these recommendations:

Column Pattern	Suggested Checks	Rationale
*_email	Format validation (regex)	Email pattern compliance
*_phone	Format validation	Phone number standards
created_at, updated_at	Freshness checks	Data currency validation
*_id	Uniqueness validation	Identifier integrity
status, type	Valid values check	Enumerated field validation
amount, price	Range validation	Business value constraints
