The platform supports dashboards, models, and a semantic layer for governed reporting. Key developer-facing features include a comprehensive REST API (authenticated via API keys), an MCP server for AI integration, a CLI tool, and an embedded analytics SDK for React. It is available in four editions: a free AGPL open-source edition and three paid tiers (Starter, Pro, Enterprise) on cloud or self-hosted, with paid features unlocking via license key. The company targets startups to large enterprises, with compliance (SOC 2, GDPR) and air-gapped options for regulated industries. Its wide data source support and extensibility make it a strong fit for internal BI and customer-facing embedded analytics."
