What is Octopai?

Octopai is a data lineage and metadata management tool designed to help organisations understand how data flows through their systems. It automatically maps connections between data sources, databases, and applications, showing you where data originates, how it's transformed, and where it ends up. This is particularly useful for teams managing complex data environments with multiple interconnected systems. The tool's automated analysis means you spend less time manually documenting data relationships and more time making informed decisions about your data architecture. It's aimed at data engineers, analytics teams, and organisations dealing with data governance challenges.
