What is Squadbase?

Squadbase is an AI data agent platform. Instead of people going to look at dashboards, AI finds changes in your data and brings them to you.

From "ask your data" to "data speaks first"

Traditional BI expects people to open dashboards, read the numbers, and go looking for anything worth a closer look. Even now that you can ask AI questions, deciding what to ask is still up to people.

AI scales analysis. Human attention does not.

Squadbase reverses that order. AI finds changes in your data and brings them to people, along with why they matter now and the evidence behind them. People check what arrives, dig deeper, and decide what to do next.

Notice. Deliver. Verify the evidence. Dig deeper. And then, people decide.

Dashboards aren't going away. But instead of being the first place you open, they become the place where you verify the evidence behind a finding. For the thinking behind this, see our blog post "Beyond "Ask Your Data": When Data Speaks First."

A day with Squadbase

  1. Receive signals on Home — Findings that AI discovers in your data appear on Home as signals.
  2. Choose a reply — Each signal comes with suggested next steps. Pick the one you're interested in, and AI starts the follow-up analysis. If nothing is needed right now, choose Do nothing for now.
  3. Verify the evidence in a project — Dig deeper with AI in the project's chat, and check the numbers in dashboards and other outputs.
  4. Share with your team, or make it routine — Publish and share what you made, or turn recurring data loads and reports into an Automation.

Signals are generated when you chat with AI in a project. For details, see Signals.

What you can do

  • Signals — Without being asked, AI delivers the changes and findings it discovers in your data, each with a headline, a body, and suggested replies. When useful, it also suggests creating a dashboard, slides, or an Automation. → Signals
  • Analyze in chat — Just write a question or request, and AI analyzes your data and creates or updates dashboards. → Projects and chat
  • Create outputs — Besides dashboards, you can have AI create slides, spreadsheets, documents, and automations.
  • Connect data — Connect Excel / CSV files, databases, business SaaS tools, and more once, and reuse them from any project in your organization. → Data sources
  • Automation — Set up scheduled data loads and recurring analyses and reports. → What is Automation?
  • Sharing — Publish the dashboards you create and share them with your team members. → Publish and share your app

Who it's for

Business users

Receive findings from your data and dig into them yourself, without knowing SQL or BI tools. If something catches your eye, just ask about it in chat.

Data teams

Hand off building dashboards and running recurring reports to AI, and spend your time on the questions that matter most to your team. Data source connections and permissions can be managed centrally for the whole organization.
