Enabling GenAI Success with Trusted, AI-Ready Data

Denodo delivers the trusted data foundation enterprises need to build secure, scalable, and context-aware GenAI solutions.

Generative AI

Overview

Whether organizations are building generative AI (GenAI) applications today or preparing for more agentic AI use cases, one truth becomes clear: AI is only as powerful as the context it can access. That context lives in data, but enterprise data is often scattered across cloud platforms, legacy systems, and departmental silos, stored in different formats and with a variety of access constraints.

Many of the most valuable GenAI use cases, such as conversational analytics, natural-language data exploration, customer or product intelligence, operational performance analysis, and business KPI explanation, depend on live, governed access to this distributed data. Traditional data integration methods struggle to keep up, introducing latency, complexity, and risk. And when these new AI-powered applications touch sensitive data, the stakes are even higher. Security, privacy, and governance cannot be afterthoughts — they must be built in from the start.

The Denodo Platform

The Denodo Platform provides the trusted data foundation that GenAI applications need to succeed. As a logical data management solution, Denodo connects to enterprise data across cloud platforms, lakehouses, operational systems, SaaS applications, and legacy environments, making it available in real time, with built-in governance and a unified semantic layer. This not only simplifies how data is accessed and understood, but it also provides AI models with current, trusted, and context-rich information grounded in enterprise business meaning.

For organizations looking to scale GenAI projects quickly and responsibly, Denodo helps remove the data integration, governance, and security roadblocks that often slow production deployment. By creating active context — live, governed, and semantically consistent enterprise context, Denodo helps GenAI applications generate more relevant, reliable, and explainable responses.

Simplifying AI Development with Trusted Data Access

To accelerate the development of intelligent, data-driven applications, Denodo offers the Denodo AI SDK—a powerful toolkit that simplifies how developers connect AI models to enterprise data. The AI SDK provides a unified, secure interface for accessing and preparing data from any source, eliminating the need for custom integration code or complex data pipelines. It automatically handles data embedding, orchestration, governance, and advanced security policies, so AI applications are built on trusted, policy-compliant data from the start. At the core of the AI SDK are three key capabilities:

Query RAG

Empowers users to ask natural language questions and get fast, accurate answers to fact-based queries—like what happened, when, or how much—using real-time, governed data. It’s ideal for replacing manual reports and dashboards with an intuitive, conversational self-service way to access information.

DeepQuery

Tackles complex, open-ended questions that require reasoning, synthesis, or explanation—like understanding why something happened or identifying key drivers across systems. Delivers explainable, multi-step insights grounded in real-time data.

MCP Support

Enables seamless integration with any MCP-compliant client, enabling organizations to build and orchestrate multi-agent AI systems using open, interoperable standards. With Denodo’s trusted data foundation, enterprises can easily enable natural language, self-service access across their data ecosystems. This supports emerging agentic AI patterns while keeping GenAI applications grounded in governed enterprise data.

Denodo Assistant: Productivity, Powered by Embedded AI

While the Denodo Platform empowers organizations to build their own GenAI-powered applications, we’re also using AI internally to make working with data faster, easier, and more intelligent. Denodo Assistant is an embedded AI capability designed to simplify and accelerate common data management tasks for both data engineers and business users. From intelligent autocompletion and proactive optimization tips to a conversational interface for exploring enterprise data and dataset recommendations, Denodo Assistant uses the platform’s semantic layer and active metadata to guide users at every step. It’s AI built into the platform — not just to power your applications, but to enhance your productivity. These capabilities also help data teams prepare and deliver trusted data products that GenAI applications can consume with greater confidence.

Solution benefits

The Denodo Platform makes your organization GenAI-ready, by:

Optimized for RAG

RAG can be powerful — but only if LLMs have access to accurate, well-integrated data. Denodo Query RAG simplifies this by unifying access to production data across SaaS apps, CRMs, ERPs, data lakes, and warehouses. It delivers the context LLMs need, with rich metadata, field descriptions, and business terms — all in the right format for retrieval.

Built for Deep Research

Going beyond fact retrieval, DeepQuery enables GenAI to analyze, reason, and explain. Denodo powers this by providing real-time access to governed, structured data across systems — enabling LLMs to uncover patterns, root causes, and business drivers in minutes, not days.

Ensuring data privacy and security

The Denodo Platform provides a central layer for enforcing security restrictions that can be defined in terms of the canonical model, with field-level granularity. The Denodo Platform supports user- and role-based authentication and authorization, as well as dynamic masking. This makes the Denodo Platform ideal for enforcing data security for RAG-enabled AI applications and helping organizations to meet a wide variety of regulatory requirements.

Ensuring better data quality and explainability

Poor-quality data can result in incorrect or inconsistent behaviors – “garbage in, garbage out.” GenAI applications also require the ability to demonstrate “data explainability,” which is the ability to specify which data was accessed to produce a given result. The Denodo Platform provides extensive functions and rules to maintain data quality. For every GenAI query initiated, the Denodo Platform logs the query and what data was returned, enabling both transparency and explainability.

Meeting regulatory requirements

With its ability to provide a trusted, secure data foundation and enable explainability and transparency, the Denodo Platform enables organizations to meet the stringent requirements of new regulatory frameworks and guidelines such as the EU AI Act, the U.S. Executive Order on AI, China’s Gen AI standards, and Singapore’s Model Governance Framework for Gen AI.

Conversational Data Exploration in the Data Marketplace

The Denodo Data Marketplace enables business users to explore enterprise data through a conversational interface, helping them discover trusted data products, ask questions, refine intent, and uncover insights without technical expertise. Grounded in governed data, shared business semantics, and rich metadata, the experience makes enterprise data easier to understand, explain, and trust.
