Promethium, a data fabric startup, has announced a major update to its Instant Data Fabric platform, making it compatible with "agentic" artificial intelligence to enable true "self-service data access at scale." The platform allows users to connect data sources and get data-driven decisions within minutes without the need for extract, transform, and load (ETL) processes or complex data pipelines.
The Instant Data Fabric offering provides fast and unified data access across hundreds of different sources, combined with fine-grained access controls that allow both humans and AI agents to access vital information. This is particularly important as data continues to fragment across cloud, on-premises, and software-as-a-service platforms, making it harder for organizations to obtain insights that can inform business decision-making.
Promethium's platform ensures data access without duplication or creating new pipelines, and its patented data profiling technology reimagines data analytics. The company has developed a data management tool that combines natural language processing with automated data preparation to deliver true self-service analytics.
The revamped platform features a 360° Context Engine, which enables open, agentic access to distributed data without adding friction. A new agentic chatbot called Mantra provides instant answers to natural language questions about data. Promethium's Instant Data Fabric is designed to help enterprises keep up with the pace of agentic AI's evolution, enabling data and analytics teams to work smarter and stay ahead of growing data volumes and business needs.
Promethium was recognized as a 2024 Cool Vendor in Data Management by Gartner, highlighting its innovative approach to data management and analytics. The company's AI-native data fabric platform empowers organizations to automate the creation of data products via GenAI, streamlining data management processes and enhancing analytical capabilities.
