About
Most organizations run on relational databases, but interacting with them has never been intuitive for non-technical users. As a result, the people who understand the business best are often the farthest from the systems that power it.
datanto exists to close that gap. Using AI, we reduce the distance between how teams describe their work and how relational systems are actually built—so businesses can move from intent to execution without technical overhead.
Why the name
In Italian, datanto can be read as "da tanto" (for a long time) or "dà tanto" (it gives a lot).
Long-lived systems that give teams leverage over time. Not one-off dashboards. Not brittle setups. Foundations that keep working as organizations evolve.
Foundation
The core idea
Relational data is powerful, but operating on it has traditionally required technical expertise, rigid schemas, long setup cycles, and constant mediation between business and engineering.
With modern AI, this no longer has to be the case.
datanto lets teams describe how their business works in plain language. From that description, the system generates the underlying models, pipelines, applications, and reports—automatically and consistently.
The goal is not to hide complexity, but to make it accessible.
Approach
The three pillars
Elicitation to systems
You describe how work happens. datanto builds the system.
datanto starts from elicitation: understanding business context through conversation, files, and examples.
From that input, it generates semantic models, data pipelines, applications, reports—all connected, all consistent, all evolvable.
Role-based by design
The same foundation. Different realities.
Access control and roles are part of the model itself. Every artifact is automatically contextual: scoped by role, filtered by responsibility.
No duplicated dashboards. No manual permission logic. No ambiguity about who sees what.
Zero to value in minutes
From nothing to a working system, fast.
Self-service setup, no data team required, no SQL, no schemas. Anyone can go from description to a working system in minutes—not months.
This is why pilots work. And why the platform scales to teams without technical expertise.
Positioning
What datanto is (and isn't)
datanto is not a BI tool, a no-code app builder, or a workflow template library. It's a foundational layer that sits between business intent and operational systems—turning how teams think about their work into reliable, structured infrastructure.
Status
Where we are
datanto is currently available through guided pilots. We're working closely with a small number of teams to refine the product around real operational needs, focusing on correctness, consistency, and long-term usability before broad self-service release.
