About

Tonic.ai helps organizations create safe, high-quality test data by synthesizing real data while protecting sensitive information like PII and PHI. Our solutions handle structured and unstructured data, and can generate fully synthetic data-from-scratch. Trusted by Fortune 500 companies and companies across the world, Tonic’s customers use us to de-identify, synthesize, and redact PHI and PII across their enterprises to support rapid product development while maintaining compliance for HIPAA, GDPR, and other critical measures.

Tonic Structural

Tonic Structural is a synthetic data generation tool designed to generate safe, realistic datasets for use in staging environments, local development, and testing workflows. It specializes in transforming sensitive structured and semi-structured data, such as PII and PHI, into de-identified or fully synthetic datasets that maintain the statistical properties and relationships of the original data. (Tonic Structural User Guide)

Key Features of Tonic Structural:

  • Data Transformation: Applies various data transformation techniques, including masking, subsetting, and synthesis, to protect sensitive information while preserving data utility.
  • Subsetting: Allows users to create smaller, representative datasets that maintain referential integrity, facilitating efficient testing and development.
  • Integration Capabilities: Supports integration with a wide range of data sources, including relational databases like MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQL Server, and Oracle, as well as platforms like Snowflake and Databricks.
  • Security and Compliance: Offers features like role-based access control (RBAC), single sign-on (SSO) integration, and audit logging to help organizations meet compliance requirements such as HIPAA, GDPR, and CCPA.

Tonic Textual

Tonic Textual is designed to synthesize or redact sensitive data within unstructured data sources, like emails, transcripts, medical notes, customer communications, and other document-based content that may contain sensitive information while preserving the utility of the data for downstream use like testing, analytics, and AI/ML training. (Tonic Textual User Guide)

 Key Capabilities of Tonic Textual:

  • Named Entity Recognition (NER):
    Uses proprietary, multilingual machine learning models to accurately detect sensitive entities (e.g., names, dates, locations, medical terms, etc.) across unstructured text.
  • De-Identification:
    Automatically redacts, masks, or replaces sensitive information to ensure data privacy while maintaining the structure and usefulness of the content.
  • Synthetic Text Generation:
    Replaces identified sensitive entities with realistic but fake alternatives, allowing safe use in AI/ML model training, testing, or sharing.
  • Output Formatting:
    Converts various unstructured data sources into a standardized, structured output format (such as Markdown or JSON), making it easier to process for downstream use, including LLM pipelines.
  • Multilingual Support:
    Capable of detecting and de-identifying entities in multiple languages, making it ideal for global datasets.
  •  Audio Synthesis:
    Textual’s audio synthesis enables redacting, synthesizing, or “bleeping” our sensitive information in an audio file, such as names, addresses, or other PII, all while preserving the original structure and tone of the audio. (Transcribe and redact audio files in Textual)

By leveraging Tonic Textual, users are enabled with safe, scalable unstructured data by removing or synthesizing sensitive information without sacrificing utility.

Tonic Fabricate

Tonic Fabricate is designed to generate high-fidelity, production-like synthetic data across structured databases and unstructured datasets. It enables developers, testers, and data scientists to work with safe, realistic data that preserves statistical properties, constraints, and business logic. (See the Tonic Fabricate Product Documentation)

Key Capabilities of Tonic Fabricate

  • Schema-Aware Synthesis:
    Fabricate automatically understands and preserves table schemas, primary/foreign key relationships, and constraints when generating synthetic data.
  • Statistical Fidelity:
    The system learns distributions, correlations, and data patterns to generate statistically realistic data that mirrors production environments.
  • Constraint Preservation:
    Maintains business rules, uniqueness, referential integrity, and custom-defined logic so synthetic datasets are usable in downstream applications without manual cleanup.
  • Custom Generators:
    Developers can define custom generation logic for columns, tables, or datasets, allowing tight control over the realism and behavior of the data.
  • Scalability:
    Capable of generating datasets ranging from small test samples to enterprise-scale.

Common Tonic Fabricate use cases:

Category Use Case Description
GenAI / LLMs Training Data Generation Producing large-scale synthetic tabular data to train models without exposing sensitive information.
Fine-Tuning Creating domain-specific synthetic datasets for secure model fine-tuning.
