The Denodo AI Software Development Kit (SDK)

Build GenAI and Agentic AI Applications with Active Context

Generative AI Is Quickly Evolving—and So Are the Demands on Your Data

What began as simple prompt-response generation is now expanding into more advanced, agentic AI systems capable of reasoning and planning, and executing complex tasks. But the power of these AI systems depends entirely on the quality, accessibility, and trustworthiness of the data they consume and the business context that enables them to interpret and use that data correctly.

The Denodo Platform provides a strong, scalable AI data layer by unifying access to all enterprise data—without requiring replication and with full control. It applies a consistent semantic layer across sources, provides built-in governance and security, and delivers real-time, trusted data to power high-impact use cases like real-time decisioning, personalization, and automated compliance—all while keeping costs in check. 

As an AI Data Layer, Denodo delivers active context by combining live enterprise data with business meaning, governed metrics, semantic relationships, quality information, usage context, and runtime policies. This gives AI systems the context they need to understand what data represents, determine whether it can be trusted, and use it appropriately.

This foundation enables AI agents and applications to consistently access governed, production-scale data and active context, improving both accuracy and trust in AI outcomes.

The Denodo AI SDK

The Denodo AI SDK offers a unified, streamlined interface for accessing and combining data from multiple sources through the Denodo Platform. Its pre-built APIs abstract the complexity of connecting, transforming, and merging data, enabling developers to work with integrated datasets with minimal effort. 

The SDK connects AI applications to Denodo’s AI Data Layer, giving developers access to trusted enterprise data and Active Context while allowing them to use their preferred models, agent frameworks, and orchestration tools.

The SDK also manages embedding and orchestration, automatically preparing information — enriched with Denodo’s business definitions, governed metrics, semantic relationships, and technical metadata, for AI model consumption. 

This context helps AI agents identify and retrieve the right structured and unstructured data in real time, with governance and security policies applied consistently.

This seamless integration reduces custom coding, accelerates AI development, and enhances solution reliability. Capabilities like explainable workflows and ambiguity handling help reduce incorrect or misleading AI responses while improving application-level trust. At the core of the AI SDK are three key capabilities:

Query RAG

Enables users and AI agents to ask natural language questions and receive fast, accurate answers grounded in real-time, governed data and trusted business context. It provides an intuitive, conversational way to access information without relying on manual reports or dashboards.

DeepQuery

Answers complex, open-ended questions that require reasoning, synthesis, or explanation. It combines real-time data with Active Context to identify relationships, uncover key drivers, and deliver explainable, multi-step insights across enterprise systems.

MCP Support

Connects MCP-compatible agents and applications to Denodo’s AI Data Layer through a standardized, governed interface. It reduces custom integration work while providing interoperable access to trusted enterprise data, Active Context, and consistently enforced security policies.

Key Features of the Denodo AI SDK

Active Context Across All Data Sources

Applies consistent business meaning, metrics, relationships, and metadata across distributed structured and unstructured data, helping AI applications discover, understand, and use trusted information without requiring replication.

Federated Governance with Centralized Control

Applies security, privacy, and access policies at runtime as data is delivered to AI applications, enabling governed access to production data with consistent control, auditability, and safeguards.

Simplified Development with APIs and MCP

Encapsulates data access, context preparation, governance, and orchestration through easy-to-use REST APIs and MCP, enabling developers to build agents and applications without managing the underlying data-delivery complexity.

Real-Time, Cost-Aware Data Delivery

Connects directly to live source systems and delivers only the data and context required, helping reduce replication, unnecessary processing, latency, and AI operating costs.

Governed Metrics and KPIs

Provides AI applications with centrally defined business metrics and KPIs, helping ensure consistent calculations and trusted answers across conversational, analytical, and agentic AI experiences.

Optimized for Modern AI Workflows

Supports fact-based and complex, multi-step queries with ambiguity handling and Active Context, helping improve the accuracy, explainability, and trustworthiness of agentic AI interactions.

AI SDK Benefits

The Denodo AI SDK connects AI applications to Denodo’s AI Data Layer, providing streamlined access to real-time, governed data and the active context needed to build trusted AI solutions.

Faster Time-to-Market

Reduces repetitive development work so teams can focus on high-value features and deliver production-ready AI applications faster through standardized, governed data access.

Built-In Security and Compliance

Ensures data retrieval complies with enterprise security protocols, minimizing risk and safeguarding sensitive information across AI initiatives.

Trusted Data and Active Context for AI
