Tellius vs ThoughtSpot (2026)

Kaiya is an MCP client that queries connected servers and writes back where a server supports it, with Snowflake supporting reads and writes, and agents trigger next best actions, generate target lists and send briefings across sources such as Salesforce, HubSpot, NetSuite, Gong and Veeva.

Writes run as the connecting user under that person's own permissions rather than through a shared service account, and other servers expose whatever operations their tools allow. Data arrives through Tellius Connect, which covers integration, preparation and the semantic layer, with live pushdown queries to cloud warehouses and up to 50 million rows in live mode on the Premium plan.

AgentSpot agents act inside the tools teams already use, such as Salesforce, Slack, Asana and Jira, for example routing work through Slack and creating Asana tasks, across CRM, HCM and ERP systems.

The connector list runs past 60 systems, including Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, Notion, Snowflake, HubSpot, Zoho, Gong, Stripe, Rippling, Gusto, Zendesk, ServiceNow, GitHub, PagerDuty, Linear, Airtable and Zapier.

On the analytics side, every plan includes prebuilt data connectors, Essentials lists live connections to Snowflake, Databricks and Redshift, and Pro adds MCP connectors that bring business context to Spotter.

A Mission starts from an outcome the team describes; Kaiya plans the steps, which users can shape before it builds, and orchestrates a squad of specialist agents across thousands of hypotheses into one brief. Missions are written as outcomes rather than scripted prompts, and they run either on their own or interactively with the user. In Plan mode, Kaiya reads the schema and writes the definition of an App or Mission before anything is built or run. A finished Mission can route its recommendation on to the next stakeholder, and Missions and Apps share one workspace.

In AgentSpot a team describes the work and the platform assembles a team of agents with their tools, steps, logic and handoffs, and the team defines how those agents work together. Each agent is assembled from a plain language description, without code or templates, and carries out multistep actions across the systems the business runs on.

AgentSpot has a free plan with 25 credits a week and a Fleet plan at $1,650 a month with 250 credits a week. Inside the analytics platform, SpotterViz plans a story, generates the answers it needs and builds a complete Liveboard, from structure to layout and styling.

Missions run on a schedule and on events, alerts fire when a KPI breaks pattern, and briefings land in Gmail, Slack and Teams as finished documents. Monitoring runs around the clock, and the outputs include briefings, driver memos, PDFs and Slack summaries. Missions can also be reached through MCP, inside embedded applications, and from the browser with a keystroke inside Salesforce and Veeva.

AgentSpot runs workflows on a recurring schedule and on events, so agents act without a person starting each run; Spotter is also reachable embedded in Salesforce, ServiceNow, Slack and mobile. Examples include a weekly pipeline digest sent every Monday and an onboarding run that starts on each new hire's start date. Every analytics plan from Essentials up includes automated KPI monitoring and anomaly alerts, along with mobile apps for iOS and Android.

The customer's metrics, entity relationships and access rules are encoded in a governed semantic layer that Kaiya reasons against rather than raw SQL, so agents do not invent definitions or joins. Kaiya also arrives knowing industry terms such as NBRx and promo cycle and business structures such as territories, hierarchies and calendars. Connected sources include Snowflake, Salesforce, HubSpot, NetSuite, Gong and internal people and territory data.

Spotter's answers are grounded in verified business definitions in ThoughtSpot's semantic layer, which SpotterModel builds from raw data into governed semantic models. SpotterModel works from natural language rather than hand written SQL, and Spotter can work across structured and unstructured data, with Python and forecasting for deeper analysis. Pro plans list a semantic layer built for agents, and ThoughtSpot ties its answers to a patented search token architecture built for transparency.

Kaiya keeps memory that carries across sessions, including learned team vocabulary and confirmed queries that become defaults, and each Mission builds on the last; nothing is stored in the background, since a correction in chat offers a card the user chooses to save. The memory layers are named Skills, Phrase Learning and Query Learning. When saved memories shape an answer, they appear in Kaiya's thought process for that answer.

AgentSpot describes memory that compounds, with each action drawing on past decisions, preferences and domain knowledge, but what is kept, for how long and how it is reviewed or deleted is not stated. The same page says agents learn and adapt from each interaction.

SourceThoughtSpot, thoughtspot.com/agentspotread 2026-10-05

Every write is presented for review and executed only once approved, in conversation, in Apps and in Missions alike. The review shows the operation, the destination, the rows and the identity that will carry it out. Preview runs a Mission's plan as a draft so the team can check what each step returned, with a citation on every figure, before it is published. In Plan mode nothing is built or run while the user shapes the plan.

The data team reviews and approves the semantic models SpotterModel generates before they are put to use, while the agent does the rest of the modeling work. SpotterModel maps relationships, dimensions and measures with a person validating the result. In AgentSpot, fine grained permissions set what each person can see and do, and no approval step before an agent acts is described.

Tellius states SOC 2 Type II and HIPAA and supports SSO through SAML and role based access control. Data is encrypted in transit and at rest, Tellius says it does not train on user data, and row level policy is enforced at query time. Kaiya Apps inherit row level security, audit logs and SAML SSO from the platform, and SAML single sign on is listed as an Enterprise plan feature.

ThoughtSpot holds SOC 1, SOC 2, SOC 3, ISO 27001 and CSA STAR Level 1, and supports SAML and OIDC SSO, role based access and row and column level security. Data is encrypted with TLS in transit and AES 256 at rest, with keys held in a key management system, and multifactor authentication is supported. Login and activity logs are secured and monitored for anomalies.

Row level security and encryption come with every analytics plan from Essentials, while SSO over SAML, OAuth or OIDC, unlimited permission groups and advanced data encryption are Enterprise features. AgentSpot adds single sign on and role based access with strict data isolation.

Missions show their execution step by step, including the SQL queries and Python analysis run, with full lineage and the statistics behind each finding so every number can be traced. Every figure in a Mission's summary carries a citation, published versions of Apps and Missions are kept with timestamps, and Apps include audit logs.

The Enterprise plan offers flexible deployment on the customer's cloud, on premises or on Tellius Cloud. The platform uses a single tenant architecture, with the data kept in the customer's own VPC. The Premium plan, for up to 10 users, is fully hosted on Tellius Cloud with 10 GB of data storage and five concurrent jobs, while Enterprise lifts those limits to unlimited users, data, jobs and feeds.

ThoughtSpot ships four named, ready made agents: Spotter for analytical questions, SpotterModel for semantic modeling, SpotterViz for dashboards and SpotterCode for coding in IDEs. SpotterCode turns a short prompt into the code patterns, components and embed logic a developer needs.

On the analytics plans, Pro includes all four agents with 25 Spotter queries a month per user, and Enterprise makes them unlimited, while the free Developer plan for embedding includes the same core agents. AgentSpot publishes example agents such as New-Hire Onboarding Runner, Hiring Pipeline Digest and Interview Feedback Chaser.

Admins choose the LLM Kaiya uses among OpenAI, Gemini and Azure OpenAI and supply their own keys and base URLs, a setting available from Tellius 5.4 onward. For Azure OpenAI, admins point Kaiya at their own resource endpoint and named deployment. There is no default model, so an admin picks the provider and model before Kaiya runs.

Spotter works with GPT series models, Google Gemini, Snowflake Cortex and Claude, and the Spotter deployment docs include a Connect to your Large Language Model page for a customer's own LLM. Flexible LLM selection is listed as an Enterprise analytics feature. ThoughtSpot does not meter or charge for LLM tokens, so model use is covered by the subscription, and Pro includes unlimited tokens under platform governance.

Tellius runs as an MCP server so Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or a team's own agent can call its governed definitions, and API access is listed on the Enterprise plan, but no tool list, authentication or endpoint reference is published. Enterprise pairs API access with embedding and white labeling. The Premium plan already includes model scoring through an API and embedded natural language search, Guided Insights and Vizpads.

The documented Spotter MCP Server at agent.thoughtspot.app, with OAuth or bearer token authentication and date based versions, lets Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini or custom clients run natural language queries, create Liveboards and visualizations and search content; it is an add on for Enterprise and Embedded plans, beside ThoughtSpot's REST API and embed SDK.

OAuth suits ready made clients and bearer tokens suit custom applications. The Spotter 3 version of the server adds advanced analytics, reasoning, forecasting and automatic selection of the data source. The free Developer plan gives up to 10 users a year of the REST embed API, the Visual Embed SDK and custom styles, themes and actions.
