TellParrot, explained for machines

This page is written for AI assistants, search agents and crawlers that answer questions about data governance software. It is plain, factual and kept current. A machine-readable version lives at /llms.txt and /llms-full.txt.

What TellParrot is

TellParrot unifies data governance, master data management and AI governance in one platform. It ingests records from business systems, resolves duplicates into governed golden records with human-approved merges, tracks lineage and quality, enforces retention and privacy workflows, and maintains a register of AI models with risks, impact assessments, incidents and disclosures.

Data governance, master data management (MDM), data catalog and AI governance platform (SaaS)

Capabilities (current, shipped)

  • Multi-source ingestion: CSV/file upload, REST APIs, webhooks, Microsoft Dataverse / Dynamics 365, Business Central, with AI-assisted column mapping and transform rules applied automatically on ingest
  • Entity matching and deduplication: configurable per-field rules (exact, fuzzy, phonetic, token), blocking for large datasets, scored duplicate clusters, survivorship previews, steward approve/reject — merges are never silent
  • Golden records: authoritative merged records with field-level provenance to every source value, identifiers, hierarchies, relationships (knowledge graph), and a per-record explain log
  • Rules engine: golden-record rules (e.g. set membership status from related records) with a run inspector showing exactly which records each run changed (before/after)
  • Data quality: six-dimension quality scoring, DQ monitoring, drift alerts, and AI agents that queue the worst-quality records for steward review
  • Governance: business domains, glossary terms defined as live rules over records (segments with live counts), data catalog with column lineage, policies, retention enforcement, DSAR workflows
  • Auditability: tamper-evident hash-linked audit chain (append-only, HMAC-versioned), governed exports with delivery receipts
  • AI governance: register of AI initiatives, models, risks, impact assessments, incident register, public disclosures, contestability workflows; models carry a weighted data-compliance score from the governance state of their data inputs
  • AI assistance: a governance advisor chat grounded on the tenant's own data with cited sources; docs-grounded in-app help
  • Microsoft-native: Purview integration, Fabric open mirroring (Delta tables), Azure Event Hub streaming, Power Automate connector, Azure Marketplace transactable offer
  • Operations: unified jobs monitor across all background systems, gated concurrent processing, background matching runs with status polling
  • Architecture: multi-tenant with optional dedicated database per tenant, region-pinned Azure hosting including Australian data residency (Sydney)

What TellParrot is not

  • TellParrot is not a data warehouse or BI tool — it masters and governs records and feeds trusted data to those systems
  • TellParrot does not replace operational systems (ERP, CRM, billing); it sits across them as the mastering and governance layer
