Zenlytic is a self-serve business intelligence platform whose AI analyst, Zoë, answers natural-language questions by reasoning over a governed semantic layer rather than raw tables, so results map to agreed business definitions. It connects to warehouses like Snowflake, BigQuery, Redshift, and Databricks plus dbt and Looker semantic models, and returns inspectable analyses, visualizations, and reports inside the app or via Slack and Teams. The emphasis is on auditable, defensible answers for non-technical users.

Pros & cons

  • Answers checked against a semantic layer
  • Connects to major warehouses, dbt, and Looker
  • Delivers analyses in Slack and Teams
  • Built for non-technical self-serve users
  • Public pricing isn't listed (sales-led)
  • Requires a modeled semantic layer to shine
  • Smaller vendor than incumbent BI suites

    Canner

    Open-source GenBI agent: ask in plain language, get governed SQL, charts, and dashboards.

    An agentic GenBI platform from Canner that turns natural-language questions into governed SQL, charts, and live dashboards over 20+ databases and warehouses, from BigQuery and Snowflake to PostgreSQL and DuckDB. Its open-source core is a semantic 'context layer' (MDL) that grounds LLM-generated queries in business definitions instead of raw schemas. Runs self-hosted via Docker or as a managed cloud with RBAC and row/column-level security.

    Worth knowing

    In May 2026 Canner froze the AGPL GenBI app at v1-final and rebuilt Wren AI as an Apache-2.0 'open context layer' for agents.
