Knowi introduces specialized AI agents that handle end-to-end analytics workflows — from data connection to dashboarding and report scheduling — with private AI infrastructure, on-premises deployment, and MCP server integration for Claude and custom AI tools.

Knowi announced AI agents for its enterprise analytics platform — specialized agents that handle analytics workflows end-to-end, from connecting data sources to building dashboards to scheduling reports. The platform ships with 20+ purpose-built agents, an orchestrator and an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that lets AI tools like Claude interact with your BI stack.
While most BI tools adding AI features route your data through third-party LLMs — your queries, schemas, and results pass through external services to generate answers — Knowi takes a different approach. It runs its own AI infrastructure. Nothing gets sent to an external LLM. Enterprise access controls and row-level permissions are enforced throughout the agent workflow.
For organizations that need full control, Knowi offers complete on-premises deployment — the platform, AI agents included, running on your infrastructure with your own models. The platform is SOC 2 Type II certified with HIPAA-compatible configurations available.
"Every BI vendor is slapping an LLM on top and calling it AI. We built the AI into the platform. The data never leaves. Knowi is the enterprise data agent: it connects your sources, builds your queries, creates your dashboards, and delivers your reports. And our agents are embeddable — your own AI applications can invoke them via SSO or API. We're not a dashboard you log into. We're the intelligence layer your entire AI stack runs on." said Jay Gopalakrishnan, Founder & CEO, Knowi.
Users describe what they need in plain English — in Knowi’s chat interface, in Slack, or in Microsoft Teams. The orchestrator breaks the request into steps and chains the right agents together. A user might say “connect to our Postgres, show me revenue by region for Q1, and email the report to the sales team every Monday” — and this request triggers a chain of agents including data connection, query generation, visualization, scheduling, and delivery — without the user touching a configuration screen.
Knowi’s agents work inside Slack and Microsoft Teams. Ask a question in a channel and get a chart back. Set up alerts that post when KPIs move. Answers appear where the team already works, not behind a dashboard login.
The platform connects to 70+ data sources including SQL databases, NoSQL systems (MongoDB, Cassandra, Couchbase), REST APIs, SaaS tools, and can ingest documents such as PDFs, spreadsheets, and Word files for AI-powered search and analysis. It supports cross-joins across any combination in a single query without ETL or a data warehouse.
The MCP server exposes Knowi’s capabilities — querying, dashboarding, alerting, and data delivery — as tools that any MCP-compatible AI client can call. This allows integration with Claude, custom agents, or internal AI workflows, turning the BI platform into a composable tool within the broader AI stack.
Enterprise customers can embed Knowi’s agents directly into their own AI workflows. Through SSO integration and API access, a customer’s own agents can invoke Knowi agents to connect data sources, run queries, build visualizations, or trigger alerts — all within the customer’s security context and access controls. This enables building support agents that pull live metrics, planning agents that cross-reference forecasts, or compliance agents that monitor data pipelines — all powered by Knowi’s agent infrastructure running inside the customer environment.
