About Herus
Herus is a modern data catalog that helps teams organize, discover, understand and design their data.
It connects to your data stack to import metadata, lineage, semantic definitions, usage insights and processing logic, while also pushing field descriptions back to databases as SQL comments.
Users can explore data through an intuitive UI, advanced filters and AI-powered search. They can trace lineage end-to-end, understand data flows and identify dependencies across analytics and dashboards.
AI reduces documentation effort by suggesting definitions, inferring lineage and enabling natural language interactions, while keeping every suggestion reviewable before validation.
Herus also includes a collaborative data board where analysts and engineers can design transformations and workflows visually before development. AI can then generate detailed specifications automatically.
