## Key Features

<table data-view="cards"><thead><tr><th></th><th></th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>🧠 <strong>Train your own Generative AI Model</strong></td><td>Choose from a variety of AI models meant for tabular data. Browse options for single table and multi-table (relational) data.</td></tr><tr><td>📊 <strong>Evaluate &#x26; Visualize Synthetic Data</strong></td><td>Diagnose problems and measure statistical quality. For even more insight, visualize synthetic vs. real data.</td></tr><tr><td>⚙️ <strong>Customize your Synthesizer</strong>  </td><td>Add business logic, control data the data pre-processing rules, and select anonymization options for sensitive values.</td></tr></tbody></table>

## Ready to take SDV to the next level?

With **SDV Enterprise** you can take SDV to the next level with more scalable synthesizers, deeper data understanding, and integrations. You can also deploy synthetic data applications enterprise-wide. To learn more about pricing and plans, [visit our website](https://datacebo.com/pricing/).

## Owned & Maintained by DataCebo

The SDV library is a part of the greater [Synthetic Data Vault Project](https://sdv.dev/), first created at MIT's Data to AI Lab in 2016. After 4 years of research and traction with enterprise, we created DataCebo in 2020 with the goal of growing the project.

Today, [DataCebo](https://datacebo.com/) is the proud developer of the SDV, the largest ecosystem for synthetic data generation & evaluation.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.sdv.dev/sdv/~/changes/T3ZD1DOoRUEqkmrAGBZp/welcome-to-the-sdv.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
