Classifyre
Classifyre finds what matters in the data scattered across the systems you already run — and turns it into investigations you can act on. Connect a source, let detectors surface the evidence, and work the results like an analyst: standing questions, duplicate detection, cases, and hypotheses — with an AI autopilot doing the legwork in between.
It’s an open-source investigation platform for your whole data estate: databases, lakehouses, collaboration tools, content platforms, and more.
What you can do with it
| Connect what you already run | Point Classifyre at databases, data lakes, storage buckets, collaboration tools, and content platforms — no data migration. |
| Detect what matters | Ready-made detectors for secrets, PII, and security, plus custom detectors you build — from a simple rule to a full AI model. |
| See the same thing, everywhere | Fingerprints connect duplicate and similar records across systems into a single picture. |
| Investigate, don’t just list | Turn findings into cases with evidence, competing hypotheses, and a clear conclusion. |
| Let AI do the legwork | An autopilot opens inquiries, builds cases, and drafts hypotheses after every scan — explaining every move. |
| Run it your way | Start on a laptop with Docker, scale to Kubernetes, keep your data in your own infrastructure. |
How it all connects
Classifyre is one connected pipeline — from the systems you connect, all the way to a resolved investigation:
- Sources connect the systems you run and scan them into assets with rich metadata.
- Detectors read each asset and raise findings — the signals worth acting on.
- Inquiries keep watch over findings, and Fingerprints connect the ones that share identity.
- Cases organise evidence and hypotheses into real investigations.
- Autopilot does it for you, automatically, after every scan — with a written reason for every action.
The building blocks
| Area | What it covers |
|---|---|
| Sources | Connect systems, choose what to scan and how, and understand what a scan produces. |
| Detectors | Pre-built packs and custom detectors, how they run, and the findings they yield. |
| Investigations | Inquiries, fingerprints, cases, and hypotheses — turning findings into answers. |
| Autopilot | The AI agents that run investigations for you, and how to steer them. |
| Settings | AI providers, instance settings, and connecting your own tools. |
| Deployment | Run Classifyre with Docker or Kubernetes, on your own infrastructure. |
Get started
- Try it — stand up the whole platform with the Docker All-in-One guide.
- Go to production — deploy the open-source core with the Kubernetes Helm chart.
- Connect your first source — see the Sources guide.
- Understand the journey — follow a scan from start to finish in Flow.
