We are extremely excited and proud to announce the GA launch of metis, our enterprise AI platform built on top of metaphactory. Based on a foundation of knowledge-driven, explainable AI, metis offers businesses a trusted, context-aware tool designed to transform enterprise data into actionable insights. 

With metis, enterprises can also build and deploy knowledge-driven AI agents that leverage contextual understanding and transparency to deliver intelligent, reliable support across various business operations.

Context-aware AI, built for trust 

metis elevates artificial intelligence by combining the power of large language models (LLMs) with the precision of semantic knowledge graphs. This approach ensures AI-generated insights are grounded in business-specific context and explicit semantics, making them more trustworthy, meaningful and explainable. 

With metis, users at all levels are able to interact with their enterprise data effortlessly via an intuitive conversational interface. Users can simply ask questions such as, "Where are the biggest bottlenecks in our order fulfillment process?" and receive answers drawn from all relevant enterprise data and a powerful semantic model for deeper understanding and accuracy.

From delivering insights in dynamic visual formats like charts or tables to facilitating natural language queries, metis ensures the power of AI is accessible and actionable across the organization. 

“AI without context is just guesswork,” said Peter Haase, metaphacts Founder and Chief Scientific Officer. “metis was built to empower enterprises with AI that doesn’t just respond—but truly understands, aligns with business goals and instills confidence through transparency.” 

 

Agentic intelligence, orchestrated by knowledge

At the heart of metis lies a semantic model—the trust and context layer that scopes every AI interaction and ensures outputs are explainable, relevant and aligned with enterprise semantics.

Users interact with AI agents through a conversational interface to retrieve insights, build semantic models or perform other tasks without technical expertise. These agents interpret intent, dynamically orchestrate the right combination of tools, and execute actions such as query generation, summarization or entity linking.

For example, agents can execute simple requests, such as creating visualizations for queries, such as charts or graphs, or offering advanced assistance in creating a semantic model.

Every step is guided by the semantic model for domain-specific traceability, while the quality control framework supports validation and continuous improvement. With predefined agents for tasks like semantic modeling or search and discovery, and a flexible Agent Registry for managing and composing custom agents, metis makes it easy to deploy intelligent, context-aware agents across your organization.

AI-assisted semantic knowledge modeling

metis’ out-of-the-box semantic modeling agent is a game-changer for domain experts and knowledge engineers, transforming how they build, manage and evolve their semantic models. The assistant acts as a collaborative assistant throughout the modeling lifecycle, supporting the design of new semantic models or aligning models to existing standards. It will guide users through the modeling process, following the metaphacts semantic modeling guidelines and the Linked Open Terms methodology. 

Deep capabilities, built for enterprise AI

metis combines cognitive capabilities like language understanding, intent detection, planning and semantic reasoning with powerful execution tools such as SPARQL query generation, summarization and entity linking. These components work together to enable intelligent, explainable and context-aware AI behaviors. Enterprises can also integrate custom tools to tailor agent capabilities to their unique use cases.

What sets metis apart?

metis is designed for trustworthy AI adoption at scale, offering a conversational interface that delivers contextualized insights in both natural language and dynamic visual formats. By grounding results in a knowledge graph and scoping discovery using a semantic model, it ensures transparency, data privacy and bias mitigation—instilling confidence in every AI interaction. Its flexibility and deep integration with enterprise data and frameworks make it an ideal foundation for custom, domain-specific AI solutions.

metis operates on top of the metaphactory platform, where it builds on its sophisticated semantic modeling and knowledge discovery capabilities, trusted by customers for over a decade. This provides a strong foundation, allowing metis to combine the power of AI and LLMs with semantic knowledge graphs, creating a truly advanced solution.

The story behind the metis brand 

The name metis is inspired by Greek mythology, where Metis was revered as the pre-Olympian goddess of wisdom, counsel and deep thought. She was celebrated as one of the wisest beings in all of creation, embodying unparalleled intelligence and foresight. Our AI platform, metis, draws from these core characteristics to empower enterprises with tools that are as insightful, reliable and capable as the goddess herself. By enabling organizations to build trustworthy, explainable and knowledge-driven AI agents, metis reflects a deep commitment to fostering transparency, context-aware decision-making, and intelligent innovation in the modern business landscape.
