[Talk to an Expert](/cdh-demo-2/) [Launch a Self-Guided Demo](https://tealium.com/tech-demos/) #### **AI Partner Ecosystem** Announcing the launch of a network of pre-built connectors that enables enterprises to power real-time context and activation for AI systems.

You've probably got a dozen models in production. Predictions sit in tables. Scores age overnight. By the time a "high intent" signal reaches a customer touchpoint, the moment is gone. The gap isn't models. It's the infrastructure between inference and action Tealium keeps clean, real-time customer data flowing where you need it, when you need it, with the governance needed to stay compliant. ## The Roundtrip Data Layer Built For AI Workloads ### Tealium sits between all your customer touchpoints and your AI infrastructure. We collect, validate, enrich, and route customer data to your warehouse or models in real-time with consent management and compliance built in. ### Event streaming Collect and validate behavioral events with schema enforcement ### Feature engineering Enrich signals with session context, visitor history, consent status, at the edge before storage ### Model routing infrastructure Deliver predictions to and from AI platforms vis REST, webhooks, or streaming connectors ### Governance layer Keep compliant without slowing you down using native governance and consent integrations ## Five Pillars of Smarter AI ### Real-Time Event Collection Capture customer interactions across web, mobile, server-side. Schema validation at ingestion. Sub-100ms latency to your model endpoints or feature stores. ### Compliance By Default Consent signals travel with every event. Automatic PII filtering, encryption, and obfuscation. Full audit trail for every data point. GDPR/CCPA-ready out of the box. ### Feature Engineering Pipeline Transform raw events into model-ready features in-stream for Bidirectional Model Integration. Visitor profiles, behavioral aggregates, audience classifications available everywhere. ### Contextual Data Labeling and Enrichment Built-in tools to add relevance, metadata, and contextual information like visitor profiles, audience badges, calculated attributes, and other details to improve AI performance. ### Integration for AI Activation From real-time AI outputs to targeted audiences, to batch-based lists, activate AI models in any tool or channel - using our library of 1,300+ integrations, APIs, and Functions. ## Connect Your Data to the Models That Matter ### Tealium integrates directly with OpenAI, Google Vertex AI, and Amazon Bedrock. Your customer data reaches the right model at the right moment, and the response enriches your profiles in real time. ### Send customer context, get intelligence back. Every connector passes event and visitor data to the model as a structured prompt, then writes the response directly to the customer profile. Sentiment scores, intent predictions, next-best-action recommendations, all updated in real-time. ### Use any model for any moment. OpenAI for natural language classification. Vertex AI for predictive scoring. Bedrock for multi-step workflows that chain models, knowledge bases, and business logic together. ### Build what the connectors don't cover. Tealium Functions give your team a code-based path to call any ML endpoint, any custom model, any API. Full control over payloads, authentication, and PII filtering. [Keep your governance layer intact. Every AI interaction runs through the same consent framework, data contracts, and enrichment rules as the rest of your data pipeline, with consented, structured data.

Data scientists want to build models, not ETL pipelines. ### Better Model Performance Richer inference context.. Cleaner training data. Real-time attributes. ### Last Mile Activation Real-time activation infrastructure built in. Route model outputs into customer-facing systems in milliseconds, not minutes. ### Scale Without Breaking Compliance Governance travels with your data. Consent management, PII handling, audit logs - built into the platform, not bolted on later. ### Eliminate Data Breakdowns One pipeline. Every model, every team, every use case can be fed from the same pipeline. ### Model Agnostic Churn prediction, next-best-action, content recommendation, fraud scoring—all fed from the same behavioral stream, all activated through the same infrastructure. ## Native Integration With Your AI Stack ### Works with the tools you're already using: Cloud AI Platforms: AWS SageMaker, Bedrock | Azure ML, OpenAI | Google Vertex AI, Gemini | Data Warehouses: Snowflake, Databricks, BigQuery, Redshift | Model Serving: Custom endpoints via REST API | Real-time | Batch processing [View Integrations](/integrations/) ## Key Resources Blog Posts Webinars & Videos Whitepapers & eBooks [Blog Your ML Models Are Starving (And You Are Not Feeding Them Enough) Learn More](https://tealium.com/blog/artificial-intelligence-ai/your-ml-models-are-starving/) [Developer Solution In the Age of AI, Context is King…But Trust Rules the Land Learn More](https://tealium.com/developer-center/in-the-age-of-ai-context-is-king-but-trust-rules-the-land/) [Developer Solution Bridging AI and Customer Data Platforms with MCP Learn More](https://tealium.com/developer-center/bridging-ai-and-customer-data-platforms-with-mcp/) [Webinar Privacy-First AI: Building Compliant Data Foundations for Scalable Innovation Learn More](https://tealium.com/resource/webinar/privacy-first-ai/) [Webinar The Agentic AI Revolution: Navigating a Future Built on Trust Learn More](https://tealium.com/resource/webinar/the-agentic-ai-revolution/) [eBook The AI-Powered Data Layer Ebook Learn More](https://tealium.com/resource/ebook/the-ai-powered-data-layer-ebook/) [Documentation Create a function for AI activation Learn More](https://docs.tealium.com/guides/function-for-ai-activation/) ## We’re Here to Help #### Connect with an expert to see how Tealium can work for you ### Submitted!
