The problem
Opening the data lake to AI feels like handing out the keys
Opening Azure Data Lake to AI is a hard sell when storage holds customer, vendor and finance extracts side by side. Sharing storage keys or broad access risks exposing files and fields people should never see, and leaves no record of what was read.
Without PopdockAI
- Share storage keys or broad access
- Hope users only open the files they should
- Expose fields that should stay private
- Have no record of what the AI read
With PopdockAI
- Only chosen files and folders become lists
- Fields returned and fixed filters are set per list
- Access is granted by user, team and AI client
- Every call is logged, and storage credentials stay in Popdock
Who it's for
One answer, three teams that use it
IT administrators
Give AI access without sharing keys
Storage credentials stay in Popdock, and each team sees only the lists you grant.

Security and compliance
Audit every AI request
Every call is logged with user, client, request and response, ready for review.

Data platform owners
Scope data per team and client
Fixed filters the AI cannot remove keep each team and client to their own data.

How it works
What PopdockAI does when you ask
IT chooses what the AI can see and who can use it, then every request is logged. Users ask in their AI client and never handle storage keys.
01
Set up
IT turns only the chosen Azure Data Lake files and folders into lists.
02
Restrict
It sets the fields returned and fixed filters the AI cannot remove.
03
Grant
Access is set by user, team and AI client.
04
Log
Every call is recorded with user, client, request and response.
The outcome
AI access to the data lake within limits IT controls
