Quilt

Transform Data Chaos into Scientific Clarity

Visit Quilt

Quilt is a data management and governance platform for life sciences teams that turns scientific data stored in Amazon S3 into versioned, searchable, AI-ready packages. It addresses the problem of data scattered across instruments, spreadsheets, and tools by consolidating files, results, and metadata into a single governed foundation that remains inside the customer's own AWS account.

The platform includes Qurator, an AI assistant for plain-English search across packages, metadata, and file contents; a package catalog with file trees, READMEs, and in-browser previews; versioning and lineage with content hashes and revision history; and governance features such as role-based access control and audit logging. It supports connections to MCP-compatible AI agents like Claude and ChatGPT via per-user OAuth, integrates with AWS services including IAM, KMS, CloudTrail, and SSO providers such as Okta, Azure AD, and Auth0, and offers visualizations including image galleries, dashboards, and a Perspective data grid. Deployment runs inside the customer's VPC via CloudFormation or Terraform.

Quilt is built for life sciences organizations working with computational biology, connected lab, and regulated workflows. Pricing is packaged by S3 bucket count across Startup, Enterprise, Enterprise Scale, and Enterprise+ editions, with unlimited users and storage on the Startup tier; higher tiers add enterprise support, expanded governance, GxP enablement, and premium support.
