Select Star is an automated data catalog platform — providing AI-powered data discovery, query-based popularity scoring, and automated documentation generation for data warehouse teams using Snowflake, BigQuery, Redshift, and other modern data platforms. Automated Discovery distinguishes Select Star from manual catalog tools — the platform automatically discovers all tables, columns, and queries across connected data warehouses without requiring manual registration. AI Documentation Generation creates column and table descriptions from query patterns — AI inferring what data assets are used for from actual query history without manual description entry. Query-Based Popularity Scoring ranks data assets by actual usage — tables and columns used frequently in production queries scored higher, enabling data teams to identify the most important data assets. Data Lineage automatically maps how tables connect — understanding which upstream tables feed production dashboards and analytics without manual lineage documentation. Column-Level Lineage provides granular tracking — understanding which source columns flow to which output columns through SQL transformations. Search with AI provides intelligent data discovery — natural language queries returning relevant table and column results with AI-powered ranking. Trust Scores combine documentation completeness, freshness, and usage — helping data teams identify which data assets are reliable for analysis. With data warehouse team adoption, Select Star validates for automated data discovery without manual catalog maintenance.
Select Star AI runs as ml platform software built around data and text workflows. Users typically start with a prompt, upload, or connected data source, and the underlying model handles the heavy lifting before returning a result you can refine or export. It's available on web and api, with API access for teams that want to embed it into their own products.
