| Action & orchestration | ||
|
Integrations & Tool Calling Ability to connect agents to real systems through native integrations, OAuth-authenticated actions, custom tools, APIs, webhooks, or MCP-compatible tools. |
||
|
BrewitIntegrations & Tool Calling Connections cover PostgreSQL, MySQL, BigQuery, Snowflake, SQL Server and Databricks (optionally over an SSH tunnel), plus CSV and a hosted workbook database, and Brewit writes and runs SQL against them. Every connector is a database. Brewit names no action in other systems and no custom tools. SourceBrewit, docs.brewit.ai Integrations pagesread 2026-09-28 |
||
|
DatapadIntegrations & Tool Calling Data comes from 50+ sources (Google Analytics, Facebook and Google Ads, Shopify, HubSpot, Stripe, Salesforce, Instagram, databases), and Datapad runs the SQL and Python it writes. Its deliverables are copy paste ready. Datapad names no action it takes inside those platforms. Sourcedatapad.io/docs/features/workflowsread 2026-09-28 |

|
Workflow Orchestration Ability to sequence, branch, retry, route, and combine deterministic workflow nodes with autonomous agent steps. |
||
|
BrewitWorkflow Orchestration The chat agent clarifies large requests, writes and runs SQL and recommends charts, and notebooks assemble reports and dashboards. The product sets this sequence. Brewit names no branching, conditions, multiple agents or flow that the customer configures. Sourcedocs.brewit.ai/docs/data-agent/best-practices/large-databasesread 2026-09-28 |

Triggers & Channel Coverage How agents wake up and where they work: schedules, webhooks, message events, CRM events, inbox events, chat, email, voice, and collaboration tools. |
||
|
BrewitTriggers & Channel Coverage The chat agent embeds in a company's own application, where that company's customers, authenticated by JWT, query their data by message. Brewit names no schedules or alerts. Its Slack is only a community workspace. Sourcedocs.brewit.ai/docs/data-agent/embedread 2026-09-28 |

|
DatapadTriggers & Channel Coverage The Slack bot delivers proactive, real time and anomaly detection alerts and daily performance updates without anyone asking. It also answers questions typed in Slack, and there is a voice mode. Datapad does not say how alerts are configured or scheduled. Sourcedatapad.io/features/slack-botread 2026-09-28 |

| Knowledge & context | ||
|
Knowledge Grounding & RAG Ability to ground agent behavior in company data through document ingestion, retrieval, external knowledge APIs, semantic search, or RAG layers. |
||
|
BrewitKnowledge Grounding & RAG A data catalog holds table and column descriptions, types and visibility settings, and a Distinct Values feature samples string values. Brewit also builds an automated semantic layer for business logic. It retrieves context through a RAG plus LLM framework that, by Brewit's account, handles hundreds of tables without token limits. Sourcedocs.brewit.ai/docs/data-agent/train/data-catalogread 2026-09-28 |
||
|
DatapadKnowledge Grounding & RAG Answers draw on the connected sources, uploaded files and blended data per question. Users can add business goals and brand guidelines to a workflow. Datapad names no maintained index, semantic layer or retrieval structure over the customer's knowledge. Sourcedatapad.io/docs/featuresread 2026-09-28 |
||
|
Memory & State Persistence Ability to persist context across a run, conversation, workflow, user, team, or longer-term memory layer. |
||
|
BrewitMemory & State Persistence Users save verified queries with titles and descriptions to a Query Library, which Brewit says keeps future answers accurate. People maintain this store for the agent, and it carries across sessions. Brewit names no memory that the agent writes for itself. Sourcedocs.brewit.ai/docs/data-agent/train/query-libraryread 2026-09-28 |
||
|
DatapadMemory & State Persistence A learning layer (the auto learning agent on Pro and above) learns from users, data sources and workspace context and remembers business context and team terminology across sessions. Its scope is the workspace. Datapad does not say how long it keeps what it learns or whether users can review or delete it. Sourcedatapad.io/docs/featuresread 2026-09-28 |
||
| Control & trust | ||
|
Human Oversight & Guardrails Approval steps, consent checkpoints, escalation rules, structured guardrails, policy constraints, and pause/resume controls. |
||
|
BrewitHuman Oversight & Guardrails Admins set table and column visibility in the data catalog, and only owners and admins manage data sources. The agent asks clarifying questions before large queries to limit cost. Brewit names no step where a person approves a query before it runs. Sourcedocs.brewit.ai/docs/workspace/access-controlread 2026-09-28 |
||
|
DatapadHuman Oversight & Guardrails Datapad calls itself a fully autonomous analyst, and the user copies its workflow outputs into other tools. It names no approval step, review before delivery or configurable limit on what the agent may do. Sourcedatapad.io/docs/features/workflowsread 2026-09-28 |

Security, Identity & Governance RBAC, SSO, auditability, encryption, least-privilege tool access, compliance posture, and data handling policy. |
||
|
BrewitSecurity, Identity & Governance Workspaces have Owner, Admin and Member roles, with a permissions table over chat, charts, data sources and workspace settings, plus table and column visibility. For audits and certifications Brewit points to AWS's and names none of its own. Data is encrypted in transit and at rest. Brewit does not say whether it supports SSO.

|
DatapadSecurity, Identity & Governance The service carries SOC 2 Type II and TX-RAMP certification, by Datapad's own account. Users sign in through SSO (OAuth 2.0, OpenID Connect) with multi factor authentication, and role based access control sets granular permissions with least privilege. Data is encrypted in transit and at rest. Sourcedatapad.io/docs/guides/data-securityread 2026-09-28 |

||
|
BrewitDeployment & Data Residency The service runs on AWS, and no hosting region is named or offered as a choice. Hosting Brewit in a company's own cloud is coming in the near future, by Brewit's account, so it is not available yet. Sourcedocs.brewit.ai/docs/others/securityread 2026-09-28 |
