About us
At Ekai, we believe data shouldn’t be locked behind technical barriers; it should work for everyone. Our AI-powered platform transforms complex data into semantic models that understand business context, enabling teams to build, validate, and scale insights without writing a single line of code. We connect to your data warehouse, automatically generate enterprise mind maps and ontology, understand relationships, capture business context through our semantic modeling, and produce all the artifacts that downstream AI applications need: data catalogs, business glossaries, metrics definitions, lineage maps, validation rules. The entire context layer, generated and maintained automatically. Backed by partners within the data and AI community, including C10 Labs, Snowflake, and SVAI, we’re building the bridge between data and people so organizations can move faster, think smarter, and make better decisions with confidence.

Our co-founder Hussnain Ahmed and CCO/ Head of Global Partnerships Tero Miikki did a great job presenting on a room full of Snowflake power users at the Snowflake user group event in Helsinki, Finland. AI systems can only deliver real value if they’re fed with well-contextualized, business-ready data. That’s what we deliver: content that generates accurate, consistent and complete output. With ekai, enterprises get accurate and reliable agentic code generation and natural language querying, while automatically cataloging and documenting their code.

Hussnain Ahmed - co-founder & CAIO along with Tero Miikki are showcasing ekai at today's Snowflake event. Want to learn why GitHub Copilot will not infer logic on it's own for semantic layers? ekai's core strength is building and documenting the full semantic layer from data context that it generates itself. Come see for yourself!
Come join the ekai team at the Snowflake @ SEA event in Finland June 10th. Our very own Tero Miikki will be talking all things Data/ AI and Hussnain Ahmed will be showcasing our AI Agentic platform for Data Engineers. Thank You team Snowflake for giving us the opportunity. Grateful for our partnership...excited about what the future holds. Markus Päivinen Janne Viitala Anna Viktorina Karlsson Ozair A.

What a fantastic night at the Mass Technology Leadership Council #TechTop50 awards! Congratulations to all the nominees and the winners. I was really moved by Jim Daniell, one of my coaches and advisors' speech to introduce Pam Reeve accepting the 2024 #CommonwealthAward. A standing ovation was only befitting of all that Pam has done, including taking Lightbridge public, among many of her other achievements. She is an incredible role model for all. When do you ever get to sleep, Pam? Delighted to see so many more of my friends and well wishers this evening!
