Introducing Aiven for DataHub: Managed context for humans and AI

Apr 13, 2026 By Stan Dmitriev In Aiven
Discover Aiven for DataHub: a fully managed, open-source data catalog that gives your teams and AI agents the context they need to find and understand data. According to an MIT study, 95% of AI projects fail to deliver value. I've been thinking about why that number is so stubbornly high, and I've come to believe the answer isn't about models,compute or even data quality in the traditional sense -It's about context.
