info

This feature is currently in closed beta. Reach out to your Acryl representative to get access.

With AI-powered documentation, you can automatically generate documentation for tables and columns.

Configuring

Ensure you have edit dataset description privileges.

Once permissions are obtained, no configuration is required - just hit "Generate" on any table or column in the UI.

How it works

Generating good documentation requires a holistic understanding of the data. Information we take into account includes, but is not limited to:

• Dataset name and any existing documentation
• Column name, type, description, and sample values
• Lineage relationships to upstream and downstream assets
• Metadata about other related assets

Data privacy: Your metadata is not sent to any third-party LLMs. We use AWS Bedrock internally, which means all metadata remains within the Acryl AWS account. We do not fine-tune on customer data.

Limitations

• This feature is not available on tables with more than 100 columns. We are working on expanding this limit.
• This feature is powered by an LLM, which can produce inaccurate results. While we've taken steps to reduce the likelihood of hallucinations, they can still occur.
