Datificial turns fragmented files, databases, APIs, documents, and public or licensed datasets into linked, enriched, query-ready data products, delivered through files, SQL, search, APIs, feeds, or MCP.
From source inventory and schema design to quality gates, versioned releases, and ongoing refresh.

One complete program
From raw source to maintained data product.
Datificial does not sell an isolated cleanup script. A data-product program combines ingestion, normalization, entity resolution, enrichment, indexing, quality controls, provenance, versioning, delivery, and refresh into one reproducible system.

Data-product engineering
The model is one component.
The prepared data layer determines what it can reliably use. Many AI prototypes repeatedly parse, reconcile, classify, and compare raw sources inside the prompt. Datificial moves stable work into a tested data layer so the same analytical state can be reused across queries, applications, and agents.
Source ingestion
Acquire authorized data from files, databases, APIs, document collections, public datasets, licensed feeds, or event streams while preserving source identity and extraction state.
snapshots and checksums
incremental extraction
schema and access monitoring
retries and idempotency
Parsing and normalization
Convert source-specific structures into a stable canonical schema with explicit types, units, identifiers, categories, and missing-data behavior.
document and nested-data parsing
units, dates, names, and taxonomy normalization
validation and quarantine
schema evolution
Entity resolution and linking
Deduplicate records, reconcile aliases, assign stable identities, and connect observations across sources without hiding ambiguity.
deterministic and probabilistic matching
alias and identifier policies
confidence and abstention
human adjudication for costly cases
Enrichment and derived features
Compute the classifications, embeddings, relationships, aggregates, trends, similarities, or extracted attributes the application should not recreate at inference time.
rules, models, and LLM-assisted extraction
semantic representations
cross-source relationships
method-level provenance
Search and serving
Build retrieval and query interfaces around the actual access patterns: exact lookup, filtering, semantic search, graph traversal, comparison, or change queries.
relational and analytical indexes
vector and hybrid retrieval
bounded query schemas
latency and cost evaluation
Quality, lineage, and refresh
Gate each release against the requirements of the intended use and keep source, recipe, model, and release versions traceable.
completeness, uniqueness, integrity, and drift checks
A data compiler between raw sources and inference.
Datificial treats the data layer as a compilation target. Source observations are preserved, parsed into canonical records, resolved into entities, enriched with versioned methods, tested against release gates, and emitted through a stable delivery contract.
01
Sources
authorized observations and snapshots
02
Recipe
parse, normalize, resolve, enrich, validate
03
Release
immutable version, schema, quality, lineage
04
Delivery
files, SQL, search, API, feed, MCP
Do not ask the model to rediscover on every request what the pipeline can compute once and verify.
The source can change. The application contract should not change silently with it.
Delivery is part of the product
Put the same prepared state where the system already works.
Datificial does not force one storage engine or interface. The delivery target is selected from the expected queries, volume, latency, security, ownership, and operating model.
Files and tables
Versioned Parquet, JSONL, CSV, Arrow, database tables, or warehouse models for batch analytics, training, and internal workflows.
Search and indexes
Exact, filtered, semantic, hybrid, or graph-oriented retrieval with documented index versions and evaluation.
APIs and feeds
Bounded query endpoints, scheduled extracts, webhooks, or change feeds with stable schemas, pagination, error semantics, and access controls.
MCP and agent tools
Read-only, task-specific tools that expose records, evidence, comparisons, and changes without giving an agent unrestricted source access.
Turn internal and external sources into the records, relationships, search, and evidence an application needs before model integration.
Give an agent a bounded data tool
Replace repeated browsing and prompt-time reconciliation with stable query contracts, provenance, permissions, and predictable failure behavior.
Convert recurring research into a maintained product
Replace manual spreadsheets and notebooks with reproducible releases, change detection, and a documented update process.
Unify sources without flattening provenance
Resolve overlapping records and derive a canonical view while preserving where each observation came from and how each output was computed.
Datificial is less useful for simple format conversion, generic warehouse migration, or projects where data rights and quality ownership are undefined.
A data product is only useful when it can be trusted.
Every program delivers the assets required to operate and update the product, not only the data itself.

Founder-led data-product engineering
Data systems, AI research, and production software.
Datificial is led by Igor Bogdanov, an AI systems researcher and builder with more than 15 years of production software and systems experience. His work spans data-intensive applications, experimental AI infrastructure, compound LLM agents, evaluation, retrieval, and reliable system design. Datificial applies that combination to the layer AI projects often underestimate: the data product the model actually receives.
Selected publications, code, and reproducibility artifacts are available on the founder's research website.
A versioned data product: canonical records and relationships, the transformation and enrichment system that produced them, quality and provenance evidence, the required delivery interface, and the documentation and refresh process needed to operate it.
Can you work with data we already have?
Yes. Customer files, databases, document collections, and APIs are common inputs. Access begins read-only where possible, and the engagement defines where data may be processed, retained, and delivered.
Is this just ETL?
ETL is one layer. Datificial also handles canonical modeling, entity resolution, semantic enrichment, derived features, retrieval, quality evaluation, provenance, release versioning, and consumer-facing delivery.
How does a project start?
Most projects start with a short inquiry followed by a technical call. Datificial then recommends a paid assessment, a bounded pilot, or a production build based on source and product uncertainty.
Start with the data and the use case
What should the finished data product enable?
A work email and a few sentences about the sources, intended application, and current bottleneck are enough to start. Datificial follows up with the questions needed to scope an assessment, pilot, or full build.
