Launching Chat with Ardoq: A Conversational Interface for Your Enterprise Architecture

This feature will be released in beta in December 2025. Follow our Ardoq Labs experimentation tile here, and you'll receive a personalized notification when we are ready for you to test this out. 

Even with the most advanced tools, relying on bolted-on third-party AI makes it difficult to unlock value and inevitably leads to struggles with context-switching. That's why we're excited to release our new Natural Language Assistant, a native chatbot built directly into Ardoq in open beta.

Enterprise Architecture isn’t just about documentation; it’s about unlocking real, actionable insights. While our existing AI Best Practice Assistant helps with modeling guidance and EA best practices, Chat with Ardoq solves a different challenge. It lets you chat with your live, enterprise data to surface instant, actionable insights. Ardoq is not just about modelling your EA; it’s about getting answers and gaining understanding. With a native chat assistant, you can do this faster than ever before.

This means: 
1. Faster, more confident decisions.
2. Less time wasted digging through reports.
3. Clearer communication with business stakeholders.

Chat with Ardoq lets you ask questions in plain English and get contextual, permission-aware answers instantly, without the need for custom AI integrations or technical know-how.

What It Can Do

With Chat with Ardoq, you can explore your reports and get straight to the answers you need. This initial release lays the foundation, giving you a first step toward asking questions of your reports in plain language. It’s an early milestone designed to set up the basics, with the long-term vision of evolving into a powerful, general chat interface for all aspects of Ardoq.

• Ask for insights: Chat with data in a specific report.
• Get a summary: Ask “What does this report mean?” to get clear insights and a summary from your complex data.
• Empower Stakeholders: Explain a report in plain language to get a summary that empowers non-technical stakeholders with insights.

Once it reaches General Availability, it goes far beyond report interaction to delivering full feature parity with our AI Gateway (MCP Server). That means you can search for and query reports, viewpoints, and dashboards, execute viewpoints, investigate the metamodel, and look up individual components or assets, all through natural language. Paired with direct control over the underlying LLM, this will make interacting with your enterprise architecture faster, smarter, and more intuitive than ever.

Designed for EA: Secure, Context-Aware, Purpose-Built

Unlike generic AI Co-Pilots, Chat with Ardoq is built specifically for your Enterprise Architecture repository. That means the insights you receive are not only accurate but explainable, secure, and context-aware.

The Natural Language Assistant in Ardoq stands out for a few key reasons:

• Tailored for EA data: Unlike a generic AI tool, it is specifically optimized for Ardoq reports and leverages live instance data to provide insights, not documentation.
• Permission-Aware: It respects your organization’s access rights, preventing data leakage.
• Secure & Personal: The chat interface acts on your behalf as a user, not as a generic API user. This means it has access to the exact same information you do, ensuring that all insights are fully aligned with your personal access rights and security permissions.
• Give Feedback: You can give a thumbs up or down on responses to guide improvements, making the assistant even smarter over time.

This combination of native integration, permission-awareness, and domain-specific optimization is what makes the Natural Language Assistant a game-changer for Enterprise Architecture.

What You’ll Gain with Chat with Ardoq

Using our conversational assistant, you can:

• Decide with confidence, faster: Cut through dense visuals and receive instant, plain-language insights from your reports, accelerating decisions when speed matters most.
• Reclaim valuable time: Free architect teams from repetitive tasks like retrieving, formatting, and sharing data, so they can focus on driving transformation.
• Open access to insights: Make architecture knowledge accessible to more stakeholders, empowering better decisions across the business.
• Rely on trusted answers: Every response is secure, permission-aware, and tailored to EA data, so you know your insights are accurate and context-rich.

Another Big Step Towards Making EA Conversational

With the introduction of Chat with Ardoq, Ardoq takes a significant step toward its long-term vision where conversational AI doesn't just surface insights but reasons over your data and recommends the next best action.
