Dashboards the agent builds for you

Describe what you want to see. The agent assembles the widgets from your saved queries and dbt models — flip between View and Edit, or drop into the code behind any tile.

Live miniature, open on revenue-overview — try Edit mode and the Code view, or ask the chat how the dashboard was built.

Prompt to dashboard

Say it, see it

“Revenue overview with MRR trend, churn, and a breakdown by plan” is a complete spec. The agent picks the right models, writes the queries, and lays out the widgets. Refine it the same way — in words — until it's the dashboard you meant.

Vega-Lite + DuckDB

Fast charts, honest numbers

Widgets render with Vega-Lite on in-browser DuckDB, so exploring a dashboard doesn't hammer your production database. Every tile names its source — a saved console or a dbt model — and refreshes on the same scheduled runs, so the numbers match the ones your analysts query.

Sharing

A link, not a license

Dashboards are URLs you share with the workspace, not seats you budget for. Anyone can open one, flip to View mode, and ask the agent a follow-up right from the dashboard — which beats screenshotting a chart into a slide deck.

Why did Starter MRR dip in week 24?
Two annual plans downgraded on June 12 — here's the query behind that number if you want to dig in.
I asked for an account health app in plain English. It shipped one wired to our real models. These are the dashboards I was looking for.

Describe your first dashboard.

If you can say it in a sentence, the agent can build it on your data.
