What is Atlan?

Atlan is the context layer for enterprise AI, built to solve the problem of AI agents failing in production due to missing business context. It unifies metadata, business definitions, lineage, and institutional knowledge from across an organization into a single, living graph. The platform connects to over 80 data sources, including warehouses, BI tools, and business applications, to automatically extract and organize context. Atlan's AI agents then bootstrap this context by generating descriptions, linking terms, and surfacing business questions. Human domain experts can review, annotate, and certify the context before it is served to downstream AI tools via SQL, APIs, or the Atlan MCP server. The tool is designed for data teams, AI engineers, and business analysts who need to ensure their AI agents reason accurately about company-specific data and processes. Atlan is recognized as a leader by Gartner and Forrester in metadata management and data governance.
