# Materialize Documentation

> Materialize is the live data layer for apps and AI agents. To keep results up-to-date as new data arrives, Materialize incrementally updates results as it ingests data rather than recalculating results from scratch.

Each section below links to its own llms.txt, which lists every page in that
section with a link to the page's Markdown rendition. Any page is available as
Markdown at its URL followed by `index.md`.
