3 PILLARS

Past · Present · Future

Your metadata has three tenses. OUTATIME speaks all three.

PAST

Time Machine

Travel to any point in your metadata's history. `git bisect` every breaking change. The Archivist agent reconstructs the state at each point, pinpoints the exact event that introduced a regression, and writes the post-mortem for you.

PRESENT

Agent Mesh

A constellation of specialists collaborating over OpenMetadata's MCP server, Archivist, Sheriff, Mechanic, Accountant, Diplomat, each narrow in scope, orchestrated by a planner. Ask anything about your data estate in one chat.

FUTURE

Flux Capacitor

Predictive impact simulation. Propose a change, drop a column, rename a table, deprecate a source, and watch the blast radius light up before you merge. Migration plan, Slack drafts, and PR stubs auto-drafted.

Hackathon Tracks

The 6 Temporal Paradoxes

Hackathon tracks, OUTATIME resolves them all.

Paradox I

MCP Ecosystem & AI Agents

A planner orchestrating five specialist agents, every tool call typed and scoped over OM’s MCP server.

Present · Agent Mesh
Paradox II

Data Observability

Point-in-time reconstruction of the metadata graph. Bisect breaking changes, auto-draft the post-mortem.

Past · Time Machine
Paradox III

Connectors & Ingestion

Seeded demo graph plus live ingestion adapters that stream version events into the Archivist’s memory.

Present & Past
Paradox IV

Developer Tooling & CI/CD

Pre-merge simulations block breaking PRs. CI runs `outatime plan` on every schema diff before production.

Future · Pre-merge checks
Paradox V

Community & Comms Apps

The Diplomat drafts Slack announcements per stakeholder, tailored to tier-1 dashboard owners and data consumers.

Future · Slack drafts + Diplomat
Paradox VI

Governance & Classification

The Sheriff enforces tags, classifications, and ownership. PII detection wired into every simulation.

Present · Sheriff agent
Why OpenMetadata

Built deeply on OpenMetadata

OUTATIME uses every surface OM exposes, lineage, versioning, data quality, ownership, glossary, tags, and the new MCP server. The judges don't want another wrapper. They want a product that understands what OM is for.

Safety

Safe by construction

We don't write without asking. We don't need your prod to demo. We don't hide what the agents are doing.

Read-mostly

We never write destructively without a sim + approval. Every proposed mutation goes through the Flux Capacitor first, preview, then commit.

Scoped tokens

OpenMetadata PAT + agent-role-per-team. The Sheriff gates governance calls, the Mechanic gates writes. No agent holds the master key.

Offline demo

A seeded in-memory graph so you can see OUTATIME without pointing at prod. Deterministic replay for reviewers and hackathon judges.

Questions

Everything you'd want to ask

OUTATIME is a Metadata Time Machine built on OpenMetadata. It travels to any point in your data platform's past, diagnoses what broke, and simulates any change to the future, all through conversation. A DeLorean for your data estate.
