HCLSoftware, the software business division of HCLTech, has announced its intent to acquire Wobby, a Belgium-based early-stage startup specializing in AI Data Analyst Agents for data warehouses.

Actian's Data & AI division has experienced significant growth in recent years, fueled by rising demand for robust metadata management, data catalog, and data governance tools in enterprise data management. The addition of Wobby's agentic AI Data Analyst capabilities will allow organizations to directly interact with raw data, obtaining rapid and precise business insights on demand.
Wobby's platform stands out with its AI Data Analyst Agents, which support natural language interfaces for querying intricate datasets. Powered by a proprietary semantic layer and agentic architecture, the solution interprets business context, automates workflows, and scales high-quality analytical outputs. This aligns seamlessly with Actian's existing knowledge graph features, creating a unified environment for governed data intelligence.
"Customers want self-service analytics with AI-driven insights that they can trust," said Marc Potter, CEO Actian & Portfolio General Manager of HCLSoftware's Data & AI division. "With Wobby, Actian provides LLM-powered natural-language analytics on a unified, governed semantic layer, enabling self-service analytics that delivers context-rich, accurate insights and a foundation for scaling GenAI initiatives with confidence."
Amra Dorjbayar, CEO and Co-Founder of Wobby, highlighted the innovative potential: "Wobby is reinventing how teams do business intelligence by building AI agents that not only answer questions, but also are evolving toward proactive analytics by sharing automated insights."
This acquisition positions HCLSoftware to offer a more differentiated approach to data management, empowering businesses with reliable AI-driven tools for modern analytics needs.
The integration of Wobby's technology into Actian is set to transform how enterprises leverage data for decision-making, combining trusted governance with cutting-edge agentic AI to drive efficiency and innovation in data intelligence.
