Speed Up Analytics with Databao

As an analytics engineer at Carnival Maritime, Guja faced a common problem: data discovery. With a complex data landscape, understanding the context behind the data was difficult. Guja tried existing solutions, but they didn’t fit or came with vendor lock-in.

The Challenge of Providing Context to AI

Guja built a data chatbot by stitching together a schema extraction engine, a context generator, and a text-to-SQL model. However, they didn’t mesh well together. The problem was providing context to agents, which took up 95% of the work.

For example, when using LLMs or agents, you have to explain what your tables mean, how they relate to each other, and what the business or technical context is. Without this context, you quickly get into a mental state where you start thinking that your schemas or tables are bad.

How Databao Changed the Game

Databao’s context engine changed how Guja worked. With the ability to extract schema and metadata from data sources, Guja could spend more time on analysis instead of data plumbing. The context engine is part of the Databao platform, enabling self-serve analytics.

Additionally, Databao’s context engine is a Python library that automatically generates a governed semantic context from data sources like databases and dbt projects. It runs locally in your environment and integrates with any LLM to deliver accurate, context-aware answers.
