One place for what your organization knows about its data
What a field really means, which table to trust, why two systems disagree about the same thing: most of that lives in people's heads and old threads. Guide keeps it as a map tied to your actual tables and fields, so it can be found when it is needed and added to whenever someone learns more.
How it works
-
It starts from your schemas
Give Guide a database schema or your application's models. It reads the structure and drafts a first map of the concepts behind it, so nobody starts from a blank page.
-
It keeps getting better
Add what you know as you learn it: what something means, a caveat, how two things connect, a document that explains a system. Every addition records where it came from and how sure it is, and a correction is simply one more.
-
Ask, and get what bears on it
Ask what a term means, where it lives, or how two things connect. Guide brings back what is known about exactly that, with where each piece came from, so you are not left searching through everything ever written about your data.
-
Build it up in layers
Start with individual data sources, then build data models as layers on top, however you need: a domain model across sources, a team's own view, a shared semantic layer. Guide keeps each layer tied to those beneath it, so any term translates down to the fields that hold it.
For people and for their agents
Use Guide in the browser, or connect your coding agent. An agent can look things up in the map before it writes a query, and add what it learns while it works.
Where we are
Guide is in early beta. The foundation is in place, and we are building the rest with the people who use it. Tell us what you would want it to do: say it to your agent and it reaches us.
