Organizing Brownfield Data Across Multiple Plants.
Context-Powered Ontology & Semantic Intelligence for Enterprise AI
Unify enterprise data, ontology, and meaning into a single semantic layer that enables AI systems to reason, understand, and act with real-world context. Deployed fast. Scaled in the cloud.
WHAT SETS US APART
Empower domain experts with a no-code interface that lets them build and evolve semantic models—without relying on engineers.

HOW KOBAI WORKS
Connect Without Moving Data
![]()
Kobai connects directly to your existing data platforms and analyzes metadata to understand structure, entities, and relationships — without copying or migrating data.
Technical Capabilities
-
Native connectivity to Databricks (including Unity Catalog), Snowflake, Azure Data Lake, and relational databases via JDBC/ODBC.
-
Metadata ingestion and schema introspection without data movement.
-
Automatic identification of candidate entities and relationships.
-
Support for structured and semi-structured formats (Delta, Parquet, JSON).
-
Deployed within your cloud or controlled environment.
Your data remains where it lives. Kobai overlays intelligence — it does not create another data store.
Define Your Business In Business Terms
![]()
Kobai enables domain experts to model real-world concepts — such as Asset, Supplier, Work Order, or Part — and define how they relate across systems.
Ontology & Model Management
-
Visual, no-code semantic modeling interface.
-
Version-controlled ontology management.
-
Role-based governance and change control.
-
Support for standards-aligned graph structures (e.g., RDF/OWL compatible).
-
Industry accelerators for aerospace, energy, pharma, manufacturing.
Instead of mapping tables to tables, Kobai models business meaning — creating a durable semantic layer that aligns engineering, operations, and IT.
Add Lineage, Trust, and Control
![]()
Kobai enriches data with business context, lineage, and governance controls — transforming raw records into trusted knowledge.
Governance & Lineage
-
Entity- and attribute-level lineage tracking.
-
Inherited security policies from underlying platforms (e.g., Unity Catalog).
-
Data quality scoring and validation rules.
-
Audit trails for ontology and mapping changes.
-
Fine-grained access control at the semantic node level.
This ensures compliance-heavy industries can trust every answer — and trace it back to source systems.
Ask Business Questions. Get Precise Answers.
![]()
Users interact with data through natural language or visual tools. Kobai resolves relationships semantically before executing optimized queries across connected systems.
Query Translation Engine
-
Natural language translated into optimized SQL across Databricks, Snowflake, and other connected systems.
-
Graph-based relationship resolution prior to query execution.
-
Federated querying across multiple data environments.
-
Query optimization and caching.
-
API access for programmatic integration.
Users don’t need to understand schemas or write complex joins. The semantic layer handles complexity behind the scenes.
Ground AI in Verified Knowledge
![]()
Kobai exposes semantically enriched data directly to BI tools, ML pipelines, and LLM frameworks — providing the structured context required for accurate AI.
AI & Lakehouse Integration
-
REST and Graph APIs for downstream consumption.
-
Designed to support RAG and GraphRAG architectures.
-
Compatible with modern lakehouse environments.
-
Operates within your existing cloud security perimeter.
The knowledge graph acts as a grounding layer — reducing hallucinations and improving AI reliability by providing structured, traceable context.
COMMON PROBLEMS KOBAI SOLVES
- The "Single Source of Truth" ▸
- The "AI Hallucination" Problem ▸
- The "Brownfield Data Integration" Problem ▸
SCENARIO 1
Challenge
A pharmaceutical company has supplier data in SAP, quality data in LIMS, compliance data in Veeva, and procurement data in Coupa. Each system shows different supplier names and IDs.
Kobai Solution
Creates a unified "Supplier" entity that links all four systems, resolving name variations and maintaining lineage. Quality teams can now see procurement history; procurement can see quality issues, all from one view.
Time to Value
3 weeks using Pharma Accelerator
SCENARIO 2
Challenge
An aerospace manufacturer wants to use LLMs to answer maintenance questions, but the AI invents part numbers and maintenance procedures because it lacks proper context.
Kobai Solution
Provides the LLM with a structured knowledge graph containing verified part specifications, maintenance procedures, and relationships between components. The AI can now cite specific sources and provide accurate answers.
Accuracy Improvement
Customers report a significant reduction in incorrect or hallucinated responses.
SCENARIO 3
Challenge
An energy company acquired three facilities, each with 20+ years of historical data in different formats, naming conventions, and systems.
Kobai Solution
Uses semantic mapping to create a unified plant data model, normalizing naming conventions and creating cross-facility views without rewriting existing systems.
Integration Time
6 weeks vs. 18+ months with traditional ETL approaches

Kobai integrates across your legacy infrastructure, analytics tools, and modern data platforms—without refactoring or delay. Start generating insight in days, not months.A Semantic Layer That Works Where You Do
Kobai creates a shared, reusable knowledge layer that connects siloed data across systems, teams, and platforms—without replacing what you already have. It runs natively on Databricks, integrates deeply with Snowflake and Azure, and overlays your architecture to bring meaning, consistency, and trust to every decision.
One layer. Multiple wins:
- Reduce decision latency with business-ready context
- Eliminate redundant data integration and rework
- Build trust and lineage into every report
- Accelerate AI and automation across your existing stack
Your teams stop duplicating effort. Insights become consistent. Compliance gets easier. And AI initiatives finally have trusted context to build on.
