DANA by DataChef

Three months of meetings, and the migration hasn't started yet.

DANA reads your systems, finds the knowledge gaps, and interviews your domain experts to fill them. Your team gets answers on demand instead of waiting for the next meeting.

The Problem

Every migration and integration project starts with months of discovery that nobody budgets for.

Months of meetings?

Expert Bottleneck

The few people who understand your systems spend their time explaining instead of building.

Docs already stale?

Decaying Documentation

What was written down three months ago no longer matches how the system actually works.

Context scattered?

Fragmented Knowledge

The answer to one question lives across your code, Jira tickets, schemas, and someone's memory.

Discovery becomes the bottleneck

You need to replace a platform that isn't scaling, or connect a new system to an environment that's been running for years. Before the actual work starts, someone has to figure out how the existing systems behave.

Why DANA

It captures the knowledge that was never written down.

Knowledge Gaps

Reads your connected systems and identifies where documentation is missing, incomplete, or contradicts the code.

Expert Capture

Asks your domain experts targeted questions about what's missing. They answer once, and the whole team can access it.

Grounded Answers

Pulls from systems, documentation, and captured expert knowledge to answer your team's questions in context.

How DANA works

DANA connects to your code, documentation, and project history, builds its own understanding, finds the gaps, and fills them through expert interviews.

Step 1

Reads Your Systems

Connects to your tools and builds a working picture from code, schemas, docs, and tickets.

Step 2

Finds the Gaps

Compares what it learned against what a complete understanding would require. Flags missing context, undocumented logic, and contradictions.

Step 3

Interviews Experts

Your domain expert picks a system or data product. DANA asks specific questions about the gaps it found. The expert answers once.

Step 4

Answers Your Team

When anyone asks a question, DANA pulls from connected systems, documentation, and captured expert knowledge together.

A look inside DANA

Ask questions in plain language about your legacy systems, data products, and undocumented processes. Get answers grounded in your actual code, documentation, and captured expert knowledge.

Where teams use DANA

DANA helps teams that need to understand complex existing systems before they can build, migrate, or integrate.

System Integration

Give integration teams the context they need when connecting new platforms to existing environments.

Legacy Replacement

Map existing processes, dependencies, and business logic before migrating to a new platform.

Onboarding Engineers

Help new team members find answers from real systems instead of waiting for a senior colleague.

Data Product Design

Help data engineers design new data products that fit the requirements of a new platform or architecture.

Your data stays in your environment

Runs in your cloud

DANA runs in your cloud. Your code, data, and captured knowledge never leave your infrastructure.

Your model, your choice

Run self-hosted open-source models for full control, or connect to commercial providers. Either way, your data stays where you put it.

Integrates with your tools

DANA connects to the sources where your knowledge already lives.

The migration ends.
The knowledge problem doesn't.

The same problems that slowed down your migration will come back with the new system if you don't capture knowledge as you build.

New processes get created without documentation.

New team members join and have the same questions.

Business logic gets embedded in code that only the person who wrote it understands.

DANA stays with the team after the migration.

As you build on the new platform, DANA keeps reading your systems, keeps detecting gaps, and keeps capturing what your experts know. The new platform doesn't become the next legacy problem.

How is this different from "chat with your docs"?

Other tools

Search what already exists

Tools that index your Confluence or codebase can only search what already exists. If the knowledge was never written down, those tools have nothing to find.

DANA

Capture knowledge that was never written down

DANA identifies what's missing from your documentation, then goes and gets that knowledge from the people who have it. Your experts answer DANA's questions once. After that, the entire team has access to knowledge that previously existed only in someone's head.
