This feature is available to customers on specific editions. Visit Matillion pricing to learn more about each edition.
As a user, you can invoke Maia, your agentic data team to annotate your data pipelines using notes. Notes contextualize each component in your pipeline using its metadata, making collaboration clearer and easier. You can edit notes directly in using Markdown. Standard Markdown formatting applies.

Maia notes: metadata and usage

The Maia-powered note feature uses a private large language model (LLM), hosted in Matillion’s own secure AWS infrastructure.
  • No customer data is sent to the large language model. AI notes are generated using the metadata of components in a pipeline in the form of Matillion’s proprietary language, “DPL”—the Data Pipeline Language. For example, the parameters of a component are included in the DPL as metadata, but the contents of your tables and files are not included.
  • The generation of AI notes is performed in a “zero-shot” fashion, meaning the large language model is taken “as-is” and has not been reinforced, fine-tuned, or otherwise modified with customer data.
  • Data warehouse credits are not consumed as part of the usage of this model.
  • Secrets are externalized in a vault and are never sent to an AI model.
