What do Hoots do?
A Hoot surfaces important context about your data; for example, quality and usage information. Hoots live on applications where data consumers make decisions, like Looker, PowerBI, and Tableau. Data producers save time they would otherwise spend answering questions about the state of the data. Hoots also provide important context from the catalog around definitions, lineage, owners, and policies. They ensure that data consumers have whatever they need to confidently use data.
How do Sentry Bots work?
