# Myriade

> Reliable AI analytics, even on messy data. Connect your warehouse, get trusted answers in hours — no semantic layer required.

## About

Myriade is an AI-native data intelligence platform. It plugs into your warehouse read-only and runs an autonomous reverse-engineering workflow: mapping tables, detecting anomalies, validating metrics, documenting relationships. The result is a living, trusted documentation layer that makes AI analytics reliable from day one — on the messy data you already have, not the clean data you wish you had.

The core bet: in the age of AI, the context layer (documentation + business semantics + validated metrics) is the most strategic asset a company owns. It shouldn't be locked into a single warehouse vendor.

## The problem we solve

Every enterprise wants AI on their data. Most can't make it reliable. Enterprise data is messy by nature — incomplete catalogs, contradictory metrics, undocumented tables, ten years of legacy decisions nobody remembers. Plug a generic AI (Snowflake Cortex, Databricks AI, BigQuery AI, plain ChatGPT) on top and it hallucinates: numbers that look right but don't match reality, citations to the wrong tables, confident answers to ambiguous questions.

Myriade fixes the foundation first. No multi-month cleanup, no upfront semantic layer — the AI agents do the documentation work, your data team reviews and approves, and analytics become trustworthy.

## How it works — from messy to AI-ready in under 48h

1. **Hour 0 — Connect**: Plug Myriade into your warehouse, read-only. Snowflake, BigQuery, Databricks, PostgreSQL, Oracle, Redshift, Fabric, MySQL, and others. Minutes to connect. No prep required.
2. **Hour 4 — Autonomous discovery**: AI agents reverse-engineer your schema, sample your data, detect anomalies, map table relationships, and document ~90% of your tables without supervision. They use statistical analysis, existing metadata (dbt, prior catalogs), data samples, and min/max distributions.
3. **Hour 24 — Validate & complete**: When something is unclear (e.g. "is this price in USD or EUR?"), Myriade asks your team. Your data team reviews, corrects, approves. They stay in control. Built-in quality checks. Hallucination-proof.
4. **Hour 48 — Trusted analytics**: Business teams ask questions in natural language. Data teams reclaim their roadmap. The catalog is complete, correct, and live. Every answer is sourced and verified against cited tables.

## Core capabilities — one integrated intelligence layer

Five modules, one platform:

- **Documentation**: Auto-generated, continuously maintained table and column descriptions. Synced back to your existing catalog. Searchable by the whole team.
- **Context**: Business semantics, ownership, metric definitions, lineage — the knowledge that makes AI answers correct.
- **Analytics**: Natural language analytics (NL2SQL) with citations. Deep analysis agents for complex multi-source questions. Every answer is verifiable.
- **Quality**: Continuous anomaly detection, freshness/completeness/consistency checks, proactive alerts before issues reach dashboards.
- **Transformations**: AI agents suggest and generate dbt fixes, SQL optimizations, and transformation models. Your dbt project remains the source of truth.

## Why Myriade, not your warehouse's AI?

Four reasons Snowflake Cortex, Databricks AI, BigQuery AI, or Fabric can't deliver the same outcome:

1. **Portability — you own your context layer.** Export your full semantic layer, definitions, and validation history anytime in open, portable formats. If you leave, you leave with everything. Warehouse-native AI locks your intelligence into that warehouse forever.
2. **Multi-source.** Connect Snowflake, BigQuery, Databricks, Oracle, PostgreSQL together or one at a time. Ask questions that join across sources. Switch warehouses without rebuilding your intelligence.
3. **Transparent, predictable pricing.** A fixed monthly price with AI included — no token meter, and not a surprise invoice tied to compute consumption your vendor controls. Your invoice can never go above your contract without your written approval.
4. **Aligned incentives.** Warehouse vendors profit from your compute spend — every optimization they don't make is their revenue. Myriade includes a FinOps audit and typical clients cut 27–40% of warehouse compute in the first quarter. Guaranteed savings on the FinOps sprint, or you don't pay.

## Who we serve

- **Data teams** get an AI-powered copilot: autonomous documentation, quality reviews, SQL optimization, dbt transformations, complex analysis. Analyses that used to take two days take minutes.
- **Business teams** get autonomy: 5 minutes from question to insight, in natural language, under the governance of the data team.
- **Leaders (CDO, COO, CEO)** get a data-driven roadmap with high-level strategic insights. Like a pocket data analyst.

Typical buyers: Chief Data Officers, Heads of Data, Data Engineers, Data Platform teams, BI teams.

## Value creation

### Hard ROI
- **Warehouse cost reduction: 27–40%.** FinOps agent analyzes query patterns, table usage, and compute waste. Typical findings: unused tables still being refreshed, inefficient queries on schedule, oversized clusters. For a €100k/yr Snowflake bill, expect €27–40k in identified savings — usually covering the platform cost.
- **Grunt work eliminated:**
  - Empty/outdated catalog → auto-generated, continuously updated (40+ hrs/quarter saved)
  - Data quality firefighting → proactive anomaly detection (5–10 hrs/week saved)
  - "What does this column mean?" → descriptions and lineage always current (2–3 hrs/week saved)
  - Writing dbt fixes for known issues → auto-generated fix suggestions (1–2 hrs/incident saved)

### Strategic ROI
- **Data team leverage: 2–3× capacity.** Data engineers spend 30–50% of their time on ad-hoc requests. Myriade handles the repetitive work; your team focuses on higher-value projects.
- **Time-to-insight: days → minutes.** Before: ticket → investigation → SQL → validation → response (2–5 days). After: ask Myriade → validated answer with lineage (minutes).
- **Self-service that actually works.** Most "self-service BI" projects fail because the data isn't trustworthy or documented. Myriade fixes the foundation. Expected impact: 50–70% reduction in ad-hoc data requests to engineering.

### What we don't claim
- We don't migrate old pipelines. The more data already in the warehouse, the better.
- We don't replace your data team — we make them more effective.
- ROI depends on your current state. If your catalog is already perfect and your warehouse already optimized, value is lower.

## FAQ

**How is Myriade different from a data catalog like Atlan, Alation or Collibra?**
Myriade completes your existing catalog rather than replacing it. The AI writes and maintains descriptions collaboratively: when there's ambiguity (e.g. "is this price in dollars or euros?"), it asks the user. Descriptions sync back to your catalog so it stays up to date. If you don't have a catalog yet, Myriade works as a lightweight one. Our vision: in the future, only AI agents will need data catalogs — humans will just ask questions.

**Does Myriade replace dbt?**
No. Myriade complements dbt — it can suggest fixes and generate models, but your dbt project remains the source of truth.

**How long to see value?**
48–72 hours for both catalog automation and cost optimization insights.

**What data does Myriade access?**
Data samples only, not full tables. Zero data retention with GDPR-compliant LLM providers. Zero-knowledge protection to automatically mask sensitive fields.

**Can I self-host?**
Yes — on every plan.

**How is AI "included"? What's the catch?**
No catch. Each plan includes 3x AI capacity above what similar teams actually use as fair use. Your admin sees a simple gauge, not a token meter. Nothing is ever billed without your written approval.

**What does "Ask from your AI assistant" mean?**
Your teams ask questions from the AI assistant they already use (Claude, Copilot, Gemini…). The assistant does the reasoning; Myriade provides the governed context and the data access rules. On Enterprise, this opens governed AI analytics to your whole company — at no extra cost, no extra seats.

## What Myriade is not

- Not a BI tool (works with Metabase, Looker, Tableau, Power BI, etc.)
- Not a replacement for your data warehouse (runs on top of Snowflake, BigQuery, Databricks, …)
- Not a replacement for your data catalog (completes it and syncs back)
- Not a one-time audit (designed for continuous, autonomous operation)
- Not a migration tool for old pipelines
