BUILD A SEMANTIC LAYER WITHOUT LIMITS

Powerful Knowledge Consumption

This is where your business extracts value.  Kobai supports a wide range of data-driven applications including:

• Interactive dashboards and BI tools.
• Self-service exploration across teams.
• Unique GraphAI providing explainable and transparent answers to any question.
• Pose powerful “what if?” simulation questions, allowing the connectedness of your knowledge model to show you the impact of project changes or risk mitigation.

For more technical integrations with your ecosystem:

• One-click API deployment for integration with custom applications, BI applications, etc.
• Lakehouse-tier publishing. Data organized in Kobai is available in Databricks or Snowflake views, ready to be used - at scale - by your BI or ML workflows.
• Python SDK for predictive analytics and AI workflow integration.

Collaborative and Inclusive Authoring

The centerpiece of the Kobai platform, the Semantic Layer gets your team of experts off the bench and into the game.  When the really powerful opportunities require collaboration across functions, business experts directly engaging with complex business models without dragging an engineer along for the ride makes all the difference:

• A shared, contextual model across systems. Everyone on the same page, but with governed ownership of each domain.
• Graph-based relationships and lineage tracking offer flexibility to capture real-world complexity not possible in traditional databases.
• Low-code/no-code querying via natural terms. When the semantic layer uses the same words you use in staff meetings, opportunities for reuse jump off the page.
• Integration of business rules and technical metadata into a complete data fabric spanning all aspects of your operation.
• Manage your semantic model lifecycle easily, allowing the “network effect” of connected data to grow naturally and iteratively over time. No need to boil the ocean on day one.

Seamless Integration with your Existing Stack

Kobai sits seamlessly inside the modern cloud data environment, leveraging the strengths of adjacent tools while delivering best in class performance with its Lakehouse backend:

• First and foremost, all Kobai compute runs on the cloud scalable lakehouse platform you may already be using, like Databricks or Snowflake.  Enjoy the efficiency, limitless scale, and separation of compute that this architecture provides.

• Connect to any data source, including databases, time-series platforms, APIs, and cloud file stores.

• When the data is already in your backend lakehouse, experience the performance of highly parallelized access without leaving your chosen platform.  (Databricks or Snowflake). 

• Use flexible mapping to link semi-structured files into the structured graph, or via reference to AI knowledge retrieval (hybrid graph RAG). 

• Govern access controls using Lakehouse data governance tools like Immuta or Unity Catalog, simplifying policy application across all data sources in your organization.

Generative AI That Works for Enterprise

Kobai provides unique capabilities where the combination of GenerativeAI and Graph technology makes AI work for your organization:

• For any really important question, the answer must be explainable and verifiable. Kobai uses the semantic model created by your team to ground chat responses in YOUR reality. It also means the AI can visually show its work, making responses deterministic and repeatable.

• Integrate standard models required for your industry without sacrificing your own view of the world. Our Precursor AI can help integrate complex models into a more useful whole.

• Precursor can also help connect source data directly to your model, eliminating a lot of leg-work for your data engineers. As always, we provide visual tools to keep the user in the know about what the AI is doing, to confirm and guide.

• We know you already have a busy AI team, so if you have your own workflows or chatbots, our Python SDK exposes all of our platform features for inclusion in your own creations.
