AI can dramatically accelerate data quality work like generating Expectations from profiling results, helping analysts write SQL, and scaling coverage across data assets.

But in enterprise environments, you always have to know the answer to this question: Where does the data go?

For organizations with strict security, compliance, or data residency requirements, AI tooling must operate within tightly controlled boundaries. That’s why many GX Cloud customers choose Agent deployments, meaning data never leaves their environment and GX Cloud cannot extract or access underlying datasets.

ExpectAI for Agent: Bring Your Own OpenAI Credentials

We’ve released support for bringing your own OpenAI credentials in GX Cloud Agent deployments.

Organizations can now configure their own OpenAI credentials directly within their Agent environment, enabling ExpectAI to run securely using their own LLM account.

This means:

  • ExpectAI is now supported in Agent deployments

  • OpenAI credentials are managed entirely by your organization

  • AI processing runs within your controlled environment

  • The core Agent security model remains intact

This way, GX Cloud still cannot connect to or extract your underlying data, allowing you maintain full control over credentials and usage.

ExpectAI available for Agent deployment

AI-Assisted Data Quality Without the Tradeoff

ExpectAI helps data teams generate Expectations using data profiling and business-specific context, accelerating onboarding and expanding data quality coverage across assets.

With this release, Agent users can now:

  • Generate Expectations using ExpectAI

  • Use Prompt-to-SQL workflows to create custom SQL Expectations

  • Enable AI-assisted workflows for both technical and non-technical users

Previously, organizations had to choose between a fully hosted deployment to access AI features or a secure Agent deployment without them. Not anymore.

Designed for Enterprise and Regulated Environments

This release is particularly impactful for financial services, healthcare, automotive, and other regulated industries where security requirements are non-negotiable.

As more GX Cloud customers adopt Agent deployments, ensuring ExpectAI is available in that environment is critical to delivering long-term value.

Now, enterprise teams can scale data quality coverage with AI assistance while maintaining strict compliance and governance standards.

Full Visibility and Control

Because you use your own OpenAI account, your organization maintains direct visibility into usage and cost.

AI-powered data quality should not require compromising on security.

With ExpectAI now available in Agent deployments, it doesn’t.
