Informatica, a leading provider of data management solutions, has announced the launch of Claire GPT, an AI-powered tool designed to simplify data handling. The platform allows enterprise users to manage, analyze, process, and consume data using natural language prompts. The solution will be integrated with Informatica’s Intelligent Data Management Cloud (IDMC) and is expected to roll out in the second half of 2023.
The Need for Simplified Data Management
Given the influx of data that enterprises have to manage, manual data management approaches are no longer feasible. They are time-consuming, resource-intensive, and require technical know-how, which not every individual within an organization possesses. In this context, Claire GPT aims to address the gap by providing a text-to-IDMC interface where users can enter simple natural language prompts to discover, interact with, and manage their data assets.
The Benefits of Claire GPT
Claire GPT uses a multi-LLM architecture, leveraging public LLMs to identify user intent and Informatica-hosted LLMs to generate data management artifacts. This approach can help experienced data users, such as engineers, analysts, and scientists, reduce the time spent on key data management tasks by up to 80%. Additionally, the solution supports multiple jobs within the IDMC platform, including data discovery, data pipeline creation and editing, metadata exploration, data quality and relationships exploration, and data quality rule generation.
Informatica has paired its enterprise-scale AI engine, Claire, with GPT capabilities to design a new conversational experience for data management. Claire processes 54 trillion transactions per month, ensuring that the answers produced by the chatbot are grounded in reality and not hallucinating.
Informatica is not the only player leveraging generative AI in this way. Salesforce has recently launched SlackGPT, combining Slack’s internal knowledge with LLMs. At the same time, New Relic has launched Grok, an AI assistant for monitoring software performance issues and fixing them.
In addition to Claire GPT, Informatica has also launched new data management capabilities driven by Claire. These include inferred data lineage, autogenerated classifications, multicolumn completeness analysis, and automapping. The company has also announced IDMC for Environmental, Social, and Governance, as well as “Cloud Data Integration for PowerCenter (CDI-PC)” to help customers migrate on-premises PowerCenter assets to IDMC. With CDI, Informatica claims that enterprises will be able to move to the cloud up to six times faster, reuse 100% of PowerCenter artifacts and assets in the cloud, and realize anticipated cost savings of up to 20 times.
Claire GPT is currently in its private preview phase and is expected to roll out widely in the second half of 2023. The solution will enable enterprises to simplify their data management processes by leveraging the power of AI and natural language processing. The integration of GPT capabilities with Informatica’s Claire platform creates the possibility of improving productivity with AI while maintaining governance and control.
