🎉 What’s new

Conversational AI in Atlan lets everyone explore their data estate in plain language instead of hunting through filters and asset pages. Ask questions like “What powers our revenue dashboard?”, “How do we define active customer?”, or “Who owns this table?” and get grounded answers with lineage, glossary, ownership, and quality signals surfaced for you — inside Atlan, your data tools, and collaboration apps.

✨ Let’s dig deeper

Find and understand assets in natural language  

Search across tables, columns, dashboards, schemas, and glossaries by describing what you’re looking for, not its exact name. Conversational AI returns the most relevant assets plus key context like descriptions, usage, and tags.

Trace lineage and assess impact without leaving chat  

Ask “What feeds this dashboard?” or “What breaks if I change this column?” to see upstream sources, downstream consumers, and critical dependencies before you make changes.

Summarize definitions, docs, and signals in one place  

Get quick explanations of metrics and business terms, along with summaries of table readmes, column definitions, and data quality or freshness signals so you can decide if a dataset is safe to use.

Find owners and subject-matter experts instantly  

Use ownership metadata to identify who’s responsible for a table, dashboard, or term, so you know exactly who to tap when you need deeper context or approvals.

Use it where you already work  

Start a conversation from the Atlan homepage or Copilot on any asset page, use the browser extension in tools like Snowflake and Databricks, or ask questions directly from Slack or Microsoft Teams once they’re connected.

Stay in conversation, with answers you can verify  

Refine results with follow-up questions; Conversational AI remembers context within the session. Every answer comes with citations that link back to source assets in Atlan so you can quickly inspect and trust what you see.

 👏 Give it a shot

Configure it in Labs: Conversational AI is being rolled out in phases. Once it has been rolled out to your tenant, users can start using it right away. If you’re an admin, you’ll also see the Conversational AI option in Admin settings → Labs → Atlan AI, where you can configure its behavior and add custom instructions.

Ask your first questions: Open Chat from the Atlan homepage to search across your catalog, or use Copilot on any asset page to ask context-aware questions scoped to that asset.

Use it where your team already works: After Slack or Microsoft Teams is integrated with Atlan, you can ask questions directly in those tools too.

Start with something simple like “Show me trusted tables for MAU”, “How do we calculate ARR?”, or “What’s upstream of the customer 360 view?” — and let Conversational AI handle the rest.
