Tonic.ai

What Tonic.ai is

Tonic.ai is a synthetic data platform for software development, testing and AI model training. Its product suite includes Fabricate for generating synthetic data, Structural for turning production data into test data, and Textual for redacting or synthesizing unstructured information. Fabricate’s Data Agent can create relational databases and unstructured datasets from conversational prompts; its pricing page also lists mock APIs. Structural detects personal and health information, masks or synthesizes data while preserving relationships, and supports database subsetting with referential integrity. Textual offers automatic redaction, reversible tokenization, optional synthetic replacement, and Python SDK and REST API workflows. Listed sources include databases, warehouses, Salesforce and flat files; Textual supports formats such as PDF, DOCX, images, spreadsheets and JSON. Tonic says employees do not access customer data and the platform does not store it, and lists least-privilege controls and an independently maintained SOC 2 report. Fabricate has a free plan and a Plus plan at $29 a month. Structural Professional is limited to 10TB of source data, 10 users and two source types; Oracle and Db2 are listed as Enterprise-only. The platform offers web, API and self-hosted options.
