The Dawiso AI Context Layer is a specialized platform that provides governed business context to AI agents and large language models (LLMs) within enterprise environments. This solution addresses the critical challenge of AI hallucinations by connecting AI systems directly to a unified, trustworthy source of enterprise metadata, including data catalogs, business glossaries, and data lineage. It serves data leaders and teams implementing AI projects who need to ensure their AI outputs are accurate, compliant, and grounded in verified business knowledge. The core value lies in transforming scattered, raw metadata into a single, governed knowledge base that any AI agent can query in real-time through the Model Context Protocol (MCP), thereby delivering trusted answers and preventing the invention of facts.
A primary problem the Context Layer solves is the failure of AI projects due to a lack of governed business context, with Gartner noting that 30% of GenAI projects will be abandoned after proof of concept by the end of 2025. AI agents often hallucinate and invent facts when they lack proper business documentation, leading to unreliable outputs that require manual debugging. Furthermore, business definitions and metadata are typically scattered across wikis, spreadsheets, and individual knowledge, creating no single source of truth for AI queries about terms like 'revenue.' This fragmentation forces AI to guess, undermining trust and utility. Additionally, compliance becomes a blind spot as AI agents accessing sensitive data without governance context can create audit failures, as regulators do not accept 'the model decided' as a valid justification.
The first major feature group is Automated Data Discovery and Cataloging, which includes an Automatic Data Catalog built by scanning the data landscape with over 40 connectors to various data platforms. This feature works by automatically discovering data assets, mapping dependencies between them, and constructing a comprehensive catalog without manual effort. It also handles Unstructured Data, governing both structured and unstructured information on a single platform. This capability is crucial because it rapidly creates a unified view of all data assets, turning weeks or months of manual cataloging into an automated process that provides the foundational inventory AI needs to understand what data exists and where it resides.
The second major feature group is AI-Generated Business Context and Intelligent Relationship Mapping. This includes a Business Glossary where AI writes business descriptions, suggests ownership, and classifies data assets, generating documentation ready for human review in hours instead of manual writing. It also features Interactive Data Lineage that automatically traces how data moves and transforms across systems, applications, and reports. Furthermore, Intelligent Relationship Mapping discovers and visualizes connections between business terms and auto-links related assets. This transforms raw metadata into actionable knowledge by providing the semantic meaning and interdependencies that AI agents require to interpret data correctly and avoid misinterpretations.

A third critical capability is the MCP (Model Context Protocol) Integration, which provides a dedicated MCP Server. This open-standard protocol connects any AI agent or LLM—such as Claude, Copilot, or custom agents—to the governed context layer in real-time. Through this integration, AI systems can query business terms, lineage, and metadata directly, ensuring every answer is grounded in the enterprise's trusted knowledge base. This eliminates the need for multiple, custom integrations by offering a single protocol that works across all AI tools, streamlining deployment and ensuring consistent access to verified context regardless of the AI model being used.
The overall workflow of the Dawiso Context Layer follows a three-step methodology: First, it scans the data landscape using its numerous connectors to automatically discover assets and build a catalog. Second, its AI generates business context by writing descriptions, mapping relationships, and tracing lineage, turning metadata into governed knowledge. Third, it connects AI agents to this knowledge via the MCP Server, allowing real-time queries. This approach is designed for rapid deployment, with most teams achieving a working catalog and glossary within a day and full context layer deployment within one to two weeks, emphasizing a human-in-the-loop model where AI generates context for team review and approval.
Concrete use cases include enabling AI agents to answer business questions accurately by querying the governed glossary for definitions, ensuring consistent interpretation of terms like 'customer' across reports. Another scenario is compliance auditing, where the lineage and governance metadata provide traceable justification for AI-driven decisions, satisfying regulatory requirements. Data teams can use the automated catalog to quickly understand data dependencies before AI analysis, preventing errors. In each case, the outcome is trusted AI answers, reduced manual debugging, faster project timelines measured in weeks not months, and significant cost savings reported as over 50% compared to legacy vendor solutions.
The target audience includes data leaders, data engineers, business analysts, domain experts, and security consultants in enterprises implementing AI projects, particularly those in regulated industries like finance and insurance as evidenced by client logos such as Société Générale and Komerční banka. The platform is designed for both technical and business users, requiring no coding for day-to-day use, and is SOC 2 Type II certified for enterprise trust. It offers enterprise-grade catalog, glossary, and lineage at a fraction of legacy vendor costs, with fair pricing and the ability to deploy within existing architectures. The key takeaway is that the Dawiso AI Context Layer turns scattered metadata into a single, governed source of truth that AI can reliably query, stopping hallucinations and enabling enterprises to deploy trustworthy AI rapidly and cost-effectively.
