CData Software rolled out Connect AI Gateway in early access on Sep 29, 2026. The tool lets IT teams register AI models, tools and agents in one place and set policies for data access, row‑level permissions and token budgets. A built‑in context engine pulls business definitions from tools like dbt and Power BI to keep AI answers consistent with company rules. In a CData test of 378 queries, the gateway delivered a 98.5% correct answer rate, far above the 65‑75% reported for other providers.
Why it matters
It gives enterprises a single control point to keep AI agents accurate, secure and cost‑effective.
