Zenlytic
Zenlytic is an enterprise AI data analyst whose agent Zoë builds her own governed semantic layer, answers questions with citations, and delivers decks, Excel models, and reports.
Zenlytic is an AI data analyst built for enterprises, delivered through an agent named Zoë. Rather than handing back a chart to interpret, Zoë investigates the question, explains what she found, and produces an analysis a person can take straight into a meeting, including written narratives, visualizations, Excel models, Word reports, and slide decks. The company positions the product for operations, finance, and go to market teams at large organizations, and it holds a very high rating on Gartner Peer Insights with customers among the Fortune 500. Its whole design philosophy rests on trust, explainability, and depth, so that self serve users actually believe the answers they receive.
The foundation is a governed context layer, essentially a semantic model of a company's metrics and definitions. Zenlytic's notable move is that Zoë can build this layer herself. With a capability called Self Learning, the agent connects to a data warehouse, identifies the relevant tables, interviews the team, reads the schema, and constructs the semantic layer in the background, producing trusted answers with citations without requiring months of data engineering. The company frames this as going from zero to governed in under an hour. Zoë can also work with a semantic model a company already has, or none at all, building one as she answers and making those definitions reusable in dashboards and other workflows.
Trust is enforced through transparency and human review. Every figure Zoë returns carries citations that show its complete lineage, and a Clarity Engine maps each generated query back to the governed context so business users verify the reasoning rather than the SQL. Hovering over any number reveals its source, filters, and the metrics behind it. Data teams verify and promote definitions, marking answers as trusted, and every question Zoë answers is logged and auditable across users and channels, which shows what is working and which concepts to promote next. Governance is built in, with role based access so each person sees only the data appropriate to them, and the platform is SOC 2 compliant.
Two more capabilities round out the product. Zoë has a memory that retains patterns and definitions from earlier queries, so asking the same question twice returns the same answer instead of a new interpretation. She also watches the metrics that matter, surfaces what changed and why, and delivers the read out inside Slack or Microsoft Teams where teams already work. Pricing is tied to how many queries are sent to the warehouse per active user, aligning cost with use, and Zenlytic offers self serve signup for teams of up to ten people alongside enterprise plans. It suits organizations that want governed, explainable analytics that business users will actually trust.

Use cases & customers
In practice
A new customer points Zoë at a Snowflake warehouse, and through Self Learning she identifies the tables, builds a governed semantic layer, and returns trusted answers with citations in under an hour.
A marketing lead asks Zoë to build a board deck, and she returns it with a recommendation on which channels to scale and cut, each number traceable to its source.
A data team reviews Zoë's answers in a verification queue, promoting correct metric definitions to trusted so business users across Slack get consistent, governed results every time they ask.
