Qlik is tightening its grip on the data quality race. The company unveiled a fresh set of AI-powered capabilities in Qlik Talend Cloud, designed to make governed, trusted data easier for enterprises to use wherever work happens. The update offers what many data teams have long wanted: faster publishing, cleaner datasets, and fewer hours swallowed by tedious documentation.

The headline feature is a one-click ability to publish secure, standards-based API endpoints for governed data products. This unlocks a wider ecosystem, letting teams push the same curated data directly into Power BI, Tableau, Excel, Salesforce, and custom internal apps without creating duplicate pipelines. For organizations already drowning in data silos, that alone is a lifeline.

The platform also introduces automated dataset documentation through a feature Qlik calls auto-describe. It generates field-level descriptions at scale, improving data discoverability for business users and eliminating the manual busywork that data stewards have endured for years.

But the biggest productivity kicker may be the AI-powered data quality assistant, which analyzes datasets and proposes validation rules based on their profile. Instead of manually crafting checks, teams can now cover far more scenarios while spending far less time building logic.

Qlik didn’t stop at cleanup tools. The release includes agentic, sprint-style remediation workflows that bring domain experts, analytics leaders, and data stewards together. Rather than funneling issues through endless tickets, teams can collaborate in real time to validate fixes, raise trust, and accelerate delivery.

“Customers want flexibility. If your best data is stuck in one tool, it becomes a bottleneck,” said Drew Clarke, EVP of Product & Technology at Qlik. He emphasized that standards-based APIs reduce friction across the stack, while AI-driven stewardship “removes repetitive tasks and helps teams deliver trusted outcomes faster.”

Eva Chrona, CEO of Climber, put it more bluntly: “Qlik has turned stewardship into a team sport.” Her team has already seen time savings from auto-describe and AI-generated quality checks, and she expects AI-guided workflows to deepen that impact.

Qlik says the new Data Product APIs are available today. Auto-describe and the DQ Rule Assistant are rolling out, and an early access program for enhanced data stewardship features is open now. The move puts Qlik in a strong position as enterprises push for unified, governed data that can move across tools without losing trust—or time.
