Athenic AI
Athenic AI is a data analyst agent that connects databases, warehouses and business apps, answers plain English questions with live SQL grounded in a customer maintained semantic layer, and runs scheduled analyses and KPI alerts that it emails to the team.
Athenic AI connects a company's SQL databases, data warehouses and business apps (NetSuite, Salesforce, HubSpot, Stripe, Shopify, Google Ads, Snowflake, BigQuery, Redshift, Databricks and more) and lets people ask questions in plain English, answering with live SQL, interactive charts and dashboards.
Answers are grounded in a Knowledge Graph the customer maintains in an editor, a semantic layer holding the schema, joins, field descriptions, KPIs, filters and business definitions that the analyst consults before writing SQL. Datasets built from selected tables or custom SQL scope what it can query. Automations schedule the agent to run recurring analyses such as daily monitors, weekly reports and monthly board packs and email the results, and it alerts the team when a KPI moves out of range. Team admins can review past queries with their SQL and results in a History tab, and a REST API lists projects and returns SQL for a question.
Athenic states it is SOC 2 Type II certified, encrypts data at rest and in transit and hosts on Microsoft Azure. Paid plans are priced by credits per organization, and business teams are onboarded by request. Athenic also sells Athenic Finance, a stock market research assistant, which is a separate product not covered here.

Use cases & customers
Integrations
Athenic reads from SQL databases, warehouses and business apps: NetSuite, Salesforce, HubSpot, Stripe, Shopify, Google Ads, Snowflake, BigQuery, Redshift, Databricks, Postgres and more (630+ apps listed). Scheduled automations email the results, and a REST API lists projects and turns a project question into SQL.
In practice
A revenue team asks why sales dipped last month, and Athenic writes the SQL against the warehouse using the definitions in its Knowledge Graph and returns a chart and the drivers it found.
A finance lead schedules a weekly KPI digest and a monthly board pack, and Athenic runs the analyses on schedule and emails the results, flagging any KPI that moved out of range.
A data team maps joins, KPIs and business terms in the Knowledge Graph so non technical staff get consistent answers, and team admins review past queries and their SQL in the History tab.
