Harbr Data

I’ve been a regular visitor to the UK’s iconic galleries and museums for many years, but I never imagined I'd be helping them work out what AI means for the data assets they hold. So I’m proud to share that Harbr Data was selected as the platform behind the UK's Creative Content Exchange (CCE). Backed by the UK Government, with teams from the Natural History Museum, UK Research and Innovation, and Department for Culture, Media and Sport, the CCE is a first-of-its-kind way for cultural institutions to share content under clear terms, and with strict controls. By packaging their assets (video, audio, image, and text) as governed, AI-ready data products, the country's icons can: Set the terms on how their content is used See exactly who is using what, through auditable sharing Open new revenue paths to support their work The CCE beta is now live, with a full public release coming next week. It's a real milestone for Harbr Data in powering external data sharing at national scale, with consistent governance for humans and AI alike. Huge thanks to the partners and participants who have made this possible. If your organisation is thinking about how to make content available for humans and AI under strong governance, I'd be happy to talk.

This is huge! AI agents can now find, access, and use your data. Watch the video below to see what that looks like 👇 Harbr Data has made it possible to use AI tools - like ChatGPT and Claude - to: - Search for your data products - Request access and subscribe to them - Query and analyse them - Deliver/Share them, including Databricks delta shares Crucially, this AI-driven access is governed by enterprise-grade approval workflows, entitlements, automatic enforcement, and auditability, meaning access can be securely extended to people - and agents - outside your organisation. AI has already removed the barriers for people to use data. Harbr Data has now removed the barriers for people to access trusted data in a secure and managed way. As AI becomes the primary way people - and agents - work with your data, it will increasingly be how they expect to discover and access it. For data owners, this raises the question of how to respond to what is likely to be one of the fastest growing distribution channels we've ever seen. Interested to hear people's - and agent's 😉 - thoughts.

The hunt for hidden data is officially over. Say hello to AI-powered data discovery ✨ We’ve all seen the scary stats around “time spent searching for data,” so we made it our mission to slash time to discovery — down to the speed of an LLM. With our new MCP server, data users simply describe their problem, then let the model: - Discover and access data in their ecosystem — with full permission awareness - Suggest queries to kickstart analysis - Deliver via a connector of their choice Grace shows the whole process in action 👇

It’s Databricks – plus so much more. Now your users can package, customize, and securely share Databricks data, in a built-on Harbr marketplace. Click below to learn more.
