MILPITAS, California, February 06, 2026 – ZL Technologies (ZL Tech), a leader in information governance, today announced the release of the latest version of the ZL Platform, introducing new AI-powered content intelligence, secure AI system integrations, and expanded search and compliance capabilities. The update strengthens the ZL Platform’s role as the data governance foundation that allows enterprises to leverage unstructured content for AI at the petabyte scale.
As organizations accelerate AI adoption, they face growing pressure to make vast stores of unstructured data usable without increasing risk. The ZL Platform update introduces AI-assisted capabilities that allow enterprises to extract insight and enforce governance without the cost and risk burdens associated with moving and duplicating data.
The latest release adds AI-assisted capabilities that allow organizations to understand and classify content more efficiently while keeping data in its source location. These include:
- AI-powered content recreation for document preview, enabling users to quickly view document context without loading the original file
- LLM-assisted file summarization, providing instant high-level understanding of content
- AI-assisted PII detection and tagging at ingestion to strengthen privacy controls from the moment data enters the platform
Together, these capabilities accelerate governance and AI-readiness workflows while reducing the need for large-scale data movement or manual review.
The update also introduces an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server within the platform. The MCP server:
- Securely handles data and action requests from other AI agents and LLM applications
- Returns real-time information while maintaining robust governance controls
This enables organizations to connect AI systems directly to governed enterprise data without bypassing compliance, auditability, or security requirements. The release further enhances the platform’s ability to locate, analyze, and govern enterprise information across systems:
- Federated search, allowing a single query to run across multiple search stores simultaneously (archive, in-place “virtualized” data, and deleted data)
- Improved relevancy scoring and ranking, helping users surface the most meaningful results in near real-time
These improvements reduce time-to-data, improve defensibility, and give compliance and legal teams broader visibility across communication channels. With the latest release, ZL Tech continues to advance a governance-first approach to AI, ensuring that enterprises can unlock value from unstructured data while maintaining control over privacy, compliance, and risk.
With a 26-year track record of helping enterprises navigate unstructured data management, ZL Tech continues to innovate to address evolving governance requirements. To learn more about the ZL Platform, visit zlti.com or contact us at info@zlti.com.
