Generate Metadata (Sifflet AI Assistant)
Overview
Sifflet AI Assistant leverages machine learning to automatically generate classification tags and descriptions recommendations for your Tables & Views
assets' and asset columns, therefore simplifying the enrichment of your data catalog.
Classification tags suggestions help you categorize your Tables & Views
assets' columns in a more accurate and comprehensive manner.
Descriptions suggestions allow you to enrich your data assets documentation and ensure your teams quickly understand the purpose, structure, and key attributes of data assets, making your data more accessible and actionable.
