DANA by DataChef

Speed Up Legacy Displacement

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

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

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.

How DANA works

From the first connection to answered questions, in four steps.

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

Flags the missing context, undocumented logic, and contradictions. What used to take weeks of discovery meetings surfaces on its own.

Step 3

Interviews Experts

DANA asks experts smart questions about the gaps it found. They answer by voice or text, DANA handles that question from then on, and only new questions reach them.

Step 4

Answers Your Team

Anyone can ask in plain language, and DANA answers from your systems and captured expert knowledge. So your team builds on it instead of waiting for the person who knows.

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 the processes, dependencies, and business logic that are actually in use. So you migrate what matters, not everything.

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.

Integrates with your tools

DANA connects to 700+ sources where your knowledge already lives.

Your data stays in your environment

Select your model

Run self-hosted open-source models or commercial providers through your own contracts, all in your own cloud. Swap anytime, and nothing leaves your infrastructure.

Sovereign by design

You pick the region. EU deployment plus self-hosted models: nothing crosses your borders.

Costs you can see

Compute and model costs land in your own cloud billing, not on a vendor invoice.

Read-only, always

You grant every credential, scoped to the sources you choose. DANA reads your systems; it never writes to them.

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.

DANA stays with the team after the migration.

DANA keeps flagging and filling new gaps as you build, so the new platform doesn't turn into 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.
