Its platform, called Semantic Fusion, is intended to translate fragmented enterprise data from sources such as databases, cloud systems, SaaS tools, and documents into an AI-ready knowledge structure. The platform enables organizations to create connected representations of their business entities, relationships, workflows, and metrics, allowing AI agents and analytics systems to operate with better understanding of context. Instead of relying solely on raw tables or isolated metadata, Jedify builds a semantic model that links data points with real-world business meaning, such as customer definitions, revenue logic, permissions, and operational rules.Jedify also provides tools that allow enterprises to integrate multiple data sources and continuously update their contextual models as new information flows through systems. This enables AI applications to generate insights, answer natural language queries, and support decision-making processes while remaining aligned with internal business definitions and governance rules. | $24M / Series A / Jun 10, 2026 | ||
