# 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 link under Sections points at the index of one documentation section. A
section index lists every page in the section, with a link to its Markdown
source and a one-line description. The pages outside any section are listed
after the sections, in the same form.
