Zenlytic is an AI data analyst whose agent Zoë builds and extends a governed semantic layer over a company's warehouse, answers with verifiable SQL in its own app, Slack, Teams, Claude or ChatGPT, and runs scheduled proactive agents.

Zenlytic sells an AI data analyst named Zoë for teams whose data sits in a warehouse such as Snowflake, BigQuery, Redshift or Databricks. Zoë answers plain language questions in Zenlytic's own app or inside Slack, Microsoft Teams, Claude and ChatGPT, and produces charts, artifacts and reports.

Answers rest on a governed semantic layer that Zoë builds from a company's existing LookML, DAX, dbt or Looker context and keeps extending as people ask. People promote the fields she creates to verified, and each answer shows the SQL behind it and marks which fields are human approved. Proactive Agents package a set of Zoë tasks that run on a schedule and deliver results by email or Slack, and as an MCP client Zoë can use tools from servers a customer registers, such as creating Jira issues.

Users choose between Anthropic and OpenAI models from a dropdown. Zenlytic states it is SOC 2 Type II certified and documents Okta and Microsoft Entra SSO, a ladder of roles, access grants, US and EU API hosts, a REST API and an MCP server. It prices per seat with query based usage and platform fees through a sales quote, with a free trial on the customer's own warehouse.

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.
