2025-11-19 - Automated Column Description Generation¶
Release¶
AgileData.io - AI-Powered Documentation: Automatic Column Descriptions
Your data catalog now gets smarter automatically. We’ve implemented AI-powered column description generation that analyzes your data and creates initial descriptions for new columns, giving you a head start on building a comprehensive data dictionary.
Documenting every column in your data model takes time, and starting with a blank slate makes it even harder. Our new automated description feature uses AI to analyze column names, data types, and sample data to generate meaningful initial descriptions. You can then refine these descriptions to add your business context and domain knowledge.
What’s New:
Automatic generation of initial column descriptions using AI
Integration with Vertex AI for intelligent content generation
Column descriptions added to both physical BigQuery tables and AgileData catalog
Descriptions generated when new columns are detected or tiles are created
Smart analysis of column names, types, and data patterns
What this means for you:
Jump-start your data dictionary with AI-generated descriptions
Spend less time documenting obvious columns, more time adding valuable context
New team members can understand data faster with immediate documentation
Better data discovery and searchability from day one
Foundation for building a comprehensive, useful data catalog
