Your data.
Clear answers.
Ready to share.
Ask a business question. Your AI agent builds a reusable SQL pipeline across your databases. Review the logic, then put the answer to work in your application or BI tool.

From a question to a reusable answer
Real demo data
Example question · a recorded run from the demo workspace
Which rideshare company carried the most trips in each borough last quarter?
Business result
Each borough’s top company and its share of trips (scale 0–100%)
An illustrative chart of the recorded result, drawn here rather than by the product. Native dashboards are planned.
API response
The released pipeline’s endpoint, and its first row as JSON
GET /api/x/demo/top-company-by-borough?anchor_date=2025-01-01 { "borough": "Manhattan", "top_company": "Uber", "trips": "17,660,839", "borough_trips": "23,669,163", "share": "74.62%" }
Illustrative JSON of the displayed result: the keys follow the result’s columns and the values are shown as the console formats them. A real response carries the whole result, paged, under your own host and key.
How it’s checked
What the agent did, step by step, before a person released anything
- read the datasource facts, columns and stats — hvfhv_zone_day is a census at zone × day × company
- resolved "last quarter" from the data's last day — Q4 2024
- rendered 3 templates, ran the draft: 4 nodes · 763 ms
- draft demo/top_company_by_borough v1 — left for a human to release
- A person reviews the pipeline before release. Release checks you configure run on the server.
A recorded run from the demo workspace (demo/top_company_by_borough, v1). This page does not execute a pipeline.

From a running pipeline
to rows you can use.
Follow a pipeline through its source queries, joins and result. The walkthrough will show the real application, so you can see what your team reviews.
- 01Run the pipeline with its inputs
- 02Follow each step as it completes
- 03Inspect the returned data
Less preparation. More understanding.
Your next useful answer is already in your data.
An order in one system. A payment in another. A different definition of revenue in every spreadsheet. Bring the sources and the business rules into a pipeline your team can run again.
Give your app a data API
Turn a released pipeline into an authenticated API. Your application supplies a date or region; the server runs the saved SQL.
For product teams →Make your BI tool more useful
Keep visualization in Tableau or your own app. Reuse the pipeline behind the dataset when you need fresh results.
For analytics teams →The understanding stays with your data
Explain what revenue means.
Keep that knowledge for the next question.
Column names rarely tell the whole story. Your agent can record what it learns: units, time zones, useful joins and the definitions your business uses.
Those facts live on your server and appear alongside the schema in later agent sessions. Each carries a trust state and any supporting evidence. Relevant schema changes flag facts for review.
See how learned context works
Illustrative saved context
Business definition · asserted
Revenue excludes cancelled orders.
A business rule your team chooses. A successful query alone cannot confirm that choice.
Data fact · observed
Amounts are stored in cents.
A fact supported by a recorded probe, with its evidence available to the next agent.
Example records, not facts from your deployment. This is the learned semantic layer.
AI builds. You stay in control.
Let AI do the authoring.
Keep ownership of the answer.
The result comes with a saved recipe: SQL, source connections and declared inputs. Review it, test it and release it on your terms.

- Configured checks run on the serverOpt-in release checks compare observed values with the expectations you define.
- A person approves the releaseThe agent works on drafts. A person releases a version; later edits leave that released logic intact.

The product, in 8 questions
Questions people ask before they run it
Do I need a data engineer?
Not to ask the questions. Someone technical deploys the server, registers the database connections and connects the AI client (docs/deployment.md §4, docs/datasources.md §3). After that a business question is a sentence, and a person who understands the data reviews the SQL and the numbers before release (docs/versioning.md §3).
Where does my data go?
Your database passwords stay on the server, encrypted (docs/datasources.md §7). A run reads each source in place and joins across sources in a temporary staging database dropped when the run ends (docs/staging.md §3); the result is kept briefly so your app or agent can page it (docs/rest-api.md §7). Rows and metadata the agent asks for do reach the agent, and so its model provider; a pipeline can also write results back to a database you choose (docs/pipeline-contract.md §8).
What do I get today, and what is planned?
Today: pipelines authored with an AI agent, reviewed and released by a person, a published API for each released one, and datasets your Tableau workbook or your own application reads. Planned, without a date on this page: native dashboards, scheduled refresh, reports and alerts — the roadmap page carries the current order (docs/ROADMAP.md §2).
How do I know the numbers are right?
You look. Every step shows the rows it produced, the logic is readable SQL, and every run is recorded with its inputs so a number can be reproduced (docs/rest-api.md §10). Release checks you configure compare a run against expectations you declare (docs/pipeline-contract.md §12.12); they support the review, they do not replace it, and nothing goes live until you press Release.
Can each customer see only their own rows?
Through your application: it supplies the customer's id as a declared parameter and holds the key. An endpoint key restricts which published paths it may call, not which rows a caller may see — row-level authorisation stays your backend's job (docs/rest-api.md §19.3, docs/auth.md §7.7). Per-viewer filtering for native dashboards is planned with the dashboards.
Do I have to use an AI agent?
Today, yes for authoring: the surface is an agent over MCP or the REST API. The browser inspects a pipeline, executes it, and manages draft and released versions, but does not yet author one (docs/pipeline-editor.md §11). Browser authoring is a roadmap item (docs/ROADMAP.md §2).
What does it cost?
Nothing to run: it is free and open source under AGPL-3.0 and you host it. There is no hosted plan today; when there is, the roadmap page will say so first. (Licence and packaging: docs/deployment.md §10.)
Which databases?
The eight engines are Postgres, Oracle, SQL Server, MySQL, H2, DuckDB, SQLite and dp-lake — dp-lake reads Parquet and Iceberg on S3 in place — and one dataset can read several of them in the same run (docs/datasources.md §4).
