|  | # Getting Started
 | |||
|  | 
 | |||
|  | Welcome to Collate's unified platform for data discovery, observability, and governance! Our platform centralizes all  | |||
|  | the context around your data to help you build high-quality and AI assets. This guide gives you all the information you | |||
|  | need to set up your Collate environment in 30 minutes. | |||
|  | 
 | |||
|  | ## How Does Collate Work?
 | |||
|  | 
 | |||
|  | Collate is designed for both technical and non-technical data practitioners to work together across a broad set of use cases, | |||
|  | including data discovery, lineage, observability, quality, collaboration, governance, and insights. | |||
|  | 
 | |||
|  | A library of 80+ turnkey connectors is available to easily ingest metadata into Collate, such as data warehouses, data lakes, | |||
|  | streaming, dashboards, ML models, and more. APIs are also available to easily ingest metadata from custom data sources.  | |||
|  | Metadata from these different sources is organized into a Unified Metadata Graph, which provides a single, comprehensive  | |||
|  | source of truth across your entire data estate.  | |||
|  | 
 | |||
|  | This centralized information is surfaced through a unified user interface for all your use cases so that different data | |||
|  | practitioners no longer need to switch between different data catalogs, quality, or governance tools. Additionally,  | |||
|  | Collate can be extended through the application ecosystem, such as with AI productivity applications like MetaPilot,  | |||
|  | or with customer-built workflows to integrate Collate with your existing systems. These capabilities are built around  | |||
|  | native collaboration capabilities for shared workflows across different teams so that every data practitioner can work  | |||
|  | together: data platform, data governance, data scientist/analyst, and business user. | |||
|  | 
 | |||
