NVIDIA has released Auto Ontology, an open-source tool that gives AI agents a shared dictionary for company data. It records what each business term means, which database columns hold it, and where the numbers came from. The aim is that an agent's answer about, say, revenue uses an approved definition, not a guess.
What you can do: If your team plans to let an AI answer questions about its data, start a list of the metrics people argue about, and write down one agreed definition for each.

Floorplan is a free, MIT-licensed plugin for Claude Code and Codex. You ask your AI assistant for a floorplan, and it draws a zoomable map of your app with plain-English names. A built-in Health check looks for common mistakes, such as secret keys exposed in the browser. Its author calls it a check, not an audit.
What you can do: If you built an app with AI help, try it on a small project first, read the Health findings with care, and keep your normal security review.
