Better data. Smarter AI.
Whether your data is structured or unstructured, on prem or in the cloud, watsonx.data helps you build accurate and trustworthy gen AI apps.
Enrich your RAG
Your AI needs your unique data to sharpen your competitive edge. But approximately 99% of enterprise data, the vast majority of which is unstructured, lies dormant. Watsonx.data—an open, hybrid data lakehouse—puts it to work, helping improve the accuracy of traditional RAG-based gen AI apps while optimizing for cost. Forthcoming updates will make it easier to use than ever before.
Unify structured and unstructured data to improve gen AI accuracy and performance.
No-code, low-code and pro-code user experiences foster self-service access to gen AI insights for your entire team.
Operationalize consistent governance protocols—including user access—across your data estate.
Run anywhere: public cloud, private cloud, hybrid cloud or on premises.
Simplify your data lifecycle
Trusted by organizations across all industries

Footnotes
1 Based on internal testing comparing the answer correctness of AI model outputs using watsonx.data Premium Edition retrieval layer to vector-only RAG on three common use cases with IBM proprietary datasets using the same set of selected opensource commodity inferencing, judging and embedding models and additional variables. Results can vary.
2 When comparing published 2023 list prices normalized for VPC hours of watsonx.data to several major cloud data warehouse vendors. Savings might vary depending on configurations, workloads and vendor.
