Some capabilities shown here may require additional enablement or licensing. Contact your Atlan representative for details.
Atlan AI is powered by a multi-model architecture that routes requests through a centralized AI gateway supporting multiple LLM providers. You can use Atlan AI to supercharge the documentation of your data assets and gain meaningful insights from your data estate in Atlan.
Atlan doesn't send any data to the AI service and only uses metadata for supported capabilities. For questions about data security, see Atlan AI security.
