What you can do with illumex

Effortless data discovery,
labeling, and mapping

illumex automatically discovers and labels your structured data for you by accessing your metadata —whether on-prem or in the cloud—without moving it from its sources.



At the same time, illumex automatically maps your structured data, adding definitions, lineage, and business usage context using pre-trained, auto-customized genAI.

The result is your data stack is now fully documented and classified with an auto-generated Data Dictionary, Lineage, Alerts, and Recommendations.

Augmented governance for
your single source of truth

As illumex maps and auto-reconciles your structured data, it flags duplications, errors, and PII.



Along the way, illumex creates a Business Glossary with auto-generated business terms, suggested definitions and metrics, and highlighted misuse and conflicts.



What’s more, illumex only touches your metadata—not the values of your data—making it a secure solution for augmented governance in heavily regulated industries, including finance, insurance, and pharma.

Hallucination-free responses
from genAI agents

Unlike RAG or other labor-intensive LLM customization techniques, illumex guarantees that genAI agents won’t hallucinate.



With illumex, every answer is deterministic, drawn from your organizational semantic knowledge graph—which combines a deep understanding of your data and the meaning of different relationships.

When illumex deploys genAI agents on top of your structured data, user questions, context, and intent are interpreted with flawless precision, for responses you can trust—every time.

Delivering real-world results

See the difference with illumex
AI-Ready Data

illumex automatically discovers all your structured data, no matter where it’s located—mapping and labeling it accurately without moving it from its sources. At the same time, illumex adds meaning and business context, and flags instances of irrelevant or duplicate data.

AI-Ready Data

Data is siloed across different data sources and applications on-prem and in the cloud. It makes it nearly impossible to discover and map it without errors or duplications—even if all data is moved to the cloud or the same data lake, the definitions still differ between tables.

Augmented AI Governance

illumex’s augmented AI governance ensures all data relationships and interactions are always documented, certified, trackable, explainable, and that sensitive data is mapped. This way you can easily meet your needs for governance, compliance, and privacy.

Augmented AI Governance

Logic-based roles, sensitive data mapping, data governance, and compliance with regulations are near impossible to manage as each application has different semantics, naming conventions, and privacy requirements.

Gen AI Agent Deployment

illumex makes sure that your structured data is automatically and continuously mapped, labeled, and enriched with semantic meaning and context. With illumex, genAI agents can interpret user questions, and their intent, with flawless precision—ensuring that users get hallucination-free, trustworthy responses, every time.

Gen AI Agent Deployment

Structured data that isn’t meaningfully labeled causes genAI analytics agents to hallucinate—resulting in responses your employees can’t rely on. Plus, training LLMs to understand the meaning and intent of your organization’s data is a long, time-consuming, and expensive process—and the results are never perfect.

FAQ

What is a generative semantic fabric?

illumex’s Generative Semantic Fabric (GSF) is an automated knowledge graph of semantic embeddings created from your organizational metadata and industry knowledge, combined with business logic—and with governance built-in. GSF transforms intricate data structures and siloed business logic into a format that’s easy for BI tools and large language models (LLMs) to understand.

The result? A single, reliable source of truth for all your organizational terminology and data. When deploying genAI analytics agents with GSF, you get trustworthy, context-rich, and hallucination-free responses from genAI with every interaction.

illumex’s GSF never accesses the values of your data or moves your data from its original sources. Instead, illumex automatically discovers and maps metadata from structured data sources and business application APIs, pulling it all together to create a unified knowledge graph—AKA your unique business ontology. Your ontology acts as a translator, matching users’ questions with deterministic, governed answers as it understands and interprets your natural business language along with user intent and aligns it with your organization’s specific logic and business context.

What sets illumex’s GSF apart is that it’s fully automated—unlike RAG/graphRAG or other manual solutions. This means you can get up and running with it super quickly, to get explainable, governed, and verifiable responses without being locked into specific vendors​​.

What’s more, illumex offers applications and workflows that you can deploy on top of GSF, including:

  • Full data mapping: data dictionary, documentation, lineage, data classification, ontology and taxonomy
  • Augmented AI Governance: business glossary, metric store, certification workflow, automated documentation, and classification
  • GenAI deployment SDK: definition and data retrieval questions and agentic analytics

How is illumex different from RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation)?

Some of the key differences between RAG and illumex include:

1. RAG requires manual maintenance. illumex is maintained automatically.

With RAG, you’re constantly running updates and performing maintenance manually—continually refreshing your data to make sure everything is running as it should.

By contrast, illumex is powered by active metadata management, which continuously translates changes in data, and its usage, into insights for data management, governance, and analytics. This means it requires next-to-no maintenance when compared to RAG.

2. RAG doesn’t guarantee a single source of truth. illumex does.

With RAG, the question of data inconsistencies constantly hangs over your head. You’re never quite sure if you have conflicting or outdated data, or not. Resulting in the need to take extra precautions and perform additional verifications to rule these issues out.

illumex, however, provides you with a unified, consistent view of your data, automatically identifying it, classifying it, and aligning it with your business context. This ensures that when you deploy genAI agents on top of it, they’re able to interpret users’ questions and user intent with flawless precision—and match their question to the right answer, with zero hallucinations.

3. RAG needs security and governance on top of it. illumex comes with security and governance already built-in.

Because RAG interacts with sensitive data, that means it needs to be continuously monitored to make sure there are no breaches and nothing is leaked. This also means you need to have robust access controls and data sensitivity classifications in place, so you can keep tabs on all interactions with your data.

Unlike RAG, illumex comes with security and governance already built-in. From SOC 2 and GDPR to ISO 27001, illumex makes sure your sensitive data stays protected, continuously and automatically. At the same time, illumex gives you total transparency into everything it does—documenting and tracking all your data, AI, and genAI interactions so that everything is certified and explainable.

4. RAG is significantly more expensive than illumex.

Implementing RAG requires deep, specialized knowledge of LLMs, prompt engineering, and vector databases—and most companies don’t usually have this skillset already on hand. The result is that many companies end up hiring new employees or external implementation consultancies just to get RAG set up.

At the same time, with RAG, you’re hosting a vector database and making frequent API calls—which can quickly rack up costs, especially as you try to scale.

illumex, on the other hand, doesn’t require any manual setup—it’s already pretrained for you, and then it learns what it needs to automatically. At the same time, illumex supports any LLM runtime, and is designed to handle incredible volumes, and complexities, of data.

Is illumex really automated?

Absolutely! illumex is the only platform that automatically translates your structured data into natural, context-rich business language. Here’s how it works:

From the moment you onboard, illumex’s proprietary data engine is ready to go—as it’s pre-trained on our business ontologies, tailored to your specific domain. During setup, illumex’s data engine then automatically retrains itself on your metadata—with no extra effort required on your part.

Once illumex is set up, it starts working immediately, discovering, mapping, and interpreting data from across your apps, functions, and systems—whether on-prem, in the cloud, or both.

Then, you can deploy genAI analytics agents using illumex’s automated SDK. These agents come with built-in governance, ensuring users get trustworthy, precise answers every time they ask genAI a question. The questions are matched to deterministic answers so that you get explainable, verifiable, and hallucination-free responses.
