Typedef provides a trust layer for artificial intelligence applications operating on enterprise data. The platform compiles a live context layer from a company’s codebase, creating a semantic ontology that encompasses every definition, pipeline, dashboard, and system across the data platform. This context layer is designed to stay current and traceable, ensuring that AI-generated answers and proposed changes are checked for accuracy and impact before they are implemented.
The tool is rigorously tested on real-world data workflows, particularly in areas such as impact analysis, root cause debugging, and model refactoring. Typedef’s agents leverage full lineage context, which allows them to outperform agents that lack this contextual information, as measured by a higher task success rate on data engineering tasks. Notable capabilities include visualizing the downstream effects of changes before merging code, tracing data lineage to quickly identify the source of pipeline failures, and reconciling metrics by tracing fields from source reports to the business intelligence layer. The platform also offers features for generating safe change plans with verification steps and risk analysis based on actual data lineage, as well as comparing metric definitions across models to identify inconsistencies.
Typedef is delivered as a deployment within the customer’s private virtual private cloud (VPC), ensuring that it operates entirely inside the organization’s environment without data egress. Security features include SOC 2 Type II and GDPR compliance-aligned controls, logging, auditability, single sign-on (SSO), role-based access control (RBAC), and full audit trails. These safeguards are implemented by default to meet enterprise security requirements.
The platform is positioned for use by organizations seeking to enhance the reliability and explainability of AI-driven analytics and data engineering workflows. It provides a shared, always-current model of the data stack to support trustworthy and explainable answers from business intelligence agents.
