The GenAI-powered toolkit for automated data intelligence.

Transform Fragmented Data into Connected Semantic Data Model

Overview

Intugle’s GenAI-powered open-source Python library builds a semantic data model over your existing data systems. At its core, it discovers meaningful links and relationships across data assets — enriching them with profiles, classifications, and business glossaries. With this connected knowledge layer, you can enable semantic search and auto-generate queries to create unified data products, making data integration and exploration faster, more accurate, and far less manual.

Who is this for?

• Data Engineers & Architects often spend weeks manually profiling, classifying, and stitching together fragmented data assets. With Intugle, they can automate this process end-to-end, uncovering meaningful links and relationships to instantly generate a connected semantic layer.
• Data Analysts & Scientists spend endless hours on data readiness and preparation before they can even start the real analysis. Intugle accelerates this by providing contextual intelligence, automatically generating SQL and reusable data products enriched with relationships and business meaning.
• Business Analysts & Decision Makers are slowed down by constant dependence on technical teams for answers. Intugle removes this bottleneck by enabling natural language queries and semantic search, giving them trusted insights on demand.

Features

• Semantic Data Model - Transform raw, fragmented datasets into an intelligent semantic graph that captures entities, relationships, and context — the foundation for connected intelligence.
• Business Glossary & Semantic Search: Auto-generate a business glossary and enable search that understands meaning, not just keywords — making data more accessible across technical and business users.
• Data Products - Instantly generate SQL and reusable data products enriched with context, eliminating manual pipelines and accelerating data-to-insight.

Getting Started

Installation

For Windows and Linux, you can follow these steps. For macOS, please see the additional steps in the macOS section below.

Before installing, it is recommended to create a virtual environment:

python -m venv .venv source .venv/bin/activate

Then, install the package:

pip install intugle

macOS

For macOS users, you may need to install the libomp library:

brew install libomp

If you installed Python using the official installer from python.org, you may also need to install SSL certificates by running the following command in your terminal. Please replace 3.XX with your specific Python version. This step is not necessary if you installed Python using Homebrew.

/Applications/Python\ 3.XX/Install\ Certificates.command

Configuration

Before running the project, you need to configure a LLM. This is used for tasks like generating business glossaries and predicting links between tables.

You can configure the LLM by setting the following environment variables:

• LLM_PROVIDER: The LLM provider and model to use (e.g., openai:gpt-3.5-turbo) following LangChain's conventions
• API_KEY: Your API key for the LLM provider. The exact name of the variable may vary from provider to provider.

Here's an example of how to set these variables in your environment:

export LLM_PROVIDER="openai:gpt-3.5-turbo" export OPENAI_API_KEY="your-openai-api-key"

These datasets will take you through the following steps:

• Generate Semantic Model → The unified layer that transforms fragmented datasets, creating the foundation for connected intelligence.
  • 1.1 Profile and classify data → Analyze your data sources to understand their structure, data types, and other characteristics.
  • 1.2 Discover links & relationships among data → Reveal meaningful connections (PK & FK) across fragmented tables.
  • 1.3 Generate a business glossary → Create business-friendly terms and use them to query data with context.
  • 1.4 Enable semantic search → Intelligent search that understands meaning, not just keywords—making data more accessible across both technical and business users.
  • 1.5 Visualize semantic model→ Get access to enriched metadata of the semantic layer in the form of YAML files and visualize in the form of graph
• Build Unified Data Products → Simply pick the attributes across your data tables, and let the toolkit auto-generate queries with all the required joins, transformations, and aggregations using the semantic layer. When executed, these queries produce reusable data products.

Documentation

For more detailed information, advanced usage, and tutorials, please refer to our full documentation site.

Usage

The core workflow of the project involves using the SemanticModel to build a semantic layer, and then using the DataProduct to generate data products from that layer.

from intugle import SemanticModel

Define your datasets

datasets = { "allergies": {"path": "path/to/allergies.csv", "type": "csv"}, "patients": {"path": "path/to/patients.csv", "type": "csv"}, "claims": {"path": "path/to/claims.csv", "type": "csv"}, # ... add other datasets }

Build the semantic model

sm = SemanticModel(datasets, domain="Healthcare") sm.build()

Access the profiling results

print(sm.profiling_df.head())

Access the discovered links

print(sm.links_df)

For detailed code examples and a complete walkthrough, please see our quickstart notebooks.

Data Product

Once the semantic model is built, you can use the DataProduct class to generate unified data products from the semantic layer.

from intugle import DataProduct

Define an ETL model

etl = { "name": "top_patients_by_claim_count", "fields": [ { "id": "patients.first", "name": "first_name", }, { "id": "patients.last", "name": "last_name", }, { "id": "claims.id", "name": "number_of_claims", "category": "measure", "measure_func": "count" } ], "filter": { "sort_by": [ { "id": "claims.id", "alias": "number_of_claims", "direction": "desc" } ], "limit": 10 } }

Create a DataProduct and build it

dp = DataProduct() data_product = dp.build(etl)

View the data product as a DataFrame

print(data_product.to_df())

Semantic Search

The semantic search feature allows you to search for columns in your datasets using natural language. It is built on top of the Qdrant vector database.

Prerequisites

To use the semantic search feature, you need to have a running Qdrant instance. You can start one using the following Docker command:

docker run -d -p 6333:6333 -p 6334:6334
-v qdrant_storage:/qdrant/storage:z
--name qdrant qdrant/qdrant

You also need to configure the Qdrant URL and API key (if using authorization) in your environment variables:

export QDRANT_URL="http://localhost:6333" export QDRANT_API_KEY="your-qdrant-api-key" # if authorization is used

Currently, the semantic search feature only supports OpenAI embedding models. Therefore, you need to have an OpenAI API key set up in your environment. The default model is text-embedding-ada-002. You can change the embedding model by setting the EMBEDDING_MODEL_NAME environment variable.

For OpenAI models:

export OPENAI_API_KEY="your-openai-api-key" export EMBEDDING_MODEL_NAME="openai:ada"

For Azure OpenAI models:

export AZURE_OPENAI_API_KEY="your-azure-openai-api-key" export AZURE_OPENAI_ENDPOINT="your-azure-openai-endpoint" export OPENAI_API_VERSION="your-openai-api-version" export EMBEDDING_MODEL_NAME="azure_openai:ada"

Usage

Once you have built the semantic model, you can use the search method to perform a semantic search. The search function returns a pandas DataFrame containing the search results, including the column's profiling metrics, category, table name, and table glossary.

Build the semantic model

sm = SemanticModel(datasets, domain="Healthcare") sm.build()

Perform a semantic search

search_results = sm.search("reason for hospital visit")

View the search results

print(search_results)

MCP Server

Intugle includes a built-in MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that exposes your semantic layer to AI assistants and LLM-powered clients. Its main purpose is to allow agents to understand your data's structure by using tools like get_tables and get_schema.

Once your semantic model is built, you can start the server with a simple command:

intugle-mcp

This enables AI agents to programmatically interact with your data context. This also enables vibe coding with the library

For detailed instructions on setting up the server and connecting your favorite client, please see our full documentation.
