How semantic layer generation works

AnswerLayer analyzes actual data, not just schema metadata. Documents can also be linked to provide additional context. The process:

Connect — Link your SQL database and any relevant documentation
Sample — Statistical sampling of data values to understand distributions and types
Analyze — Chain-of-thought reasoning identifies entities, relationships, and business meaning
Generate — Complete semantic model with entities, metrics, dimensions, filters
Curate — Human review and refinement of generated definitions

AnswerLayer supports both automatic and interactive modes. In interactive mode, it interviews subject matter experts to update and refine the semantic layer.
