Lightdash is an open-source, agentic business intelligence platform that lets data teams define governed metrics, dashboards, AI agents, and data apps from a dbt- or YAML-based context layer. It supports BI-as-code workflows via Git, CI, CLI, and MCP, plus embedded analytics and conversational analytics with permission-aware AI agents.
Use cases
- build dashboards and charts as code from a dbt project
- let business users ask questions in plain English about governed data
- embed analytics dashboards in a customer-facing product
- review and validate analytics changes in pull requests and CI
- self-host a BI tool with no per-seat pricing
- build custom data apps and reports from a prompt
- connect AI agents to a governed semantic layer via MCP
When to choose
- your team uses dbt and wants metrics defined once in a semantic layer
- you want BI versioned in Git with CI validation and code review
- you need self-hosted or open-source BI without per-seat licensing
- you want AI agents answering data questions with permissions and inspectable queries
- you need embedded analytics with row-level security in your own product
When to avoid
- you need a lightweight charting library to embed directly in frontend code
- your data does not live in a SQL warehouse supported by dbt
- you want a simple spreadsheet-style BI tool without a semantic layer
- you cannot operate a self-hosted service and do not want a paid cloud plan
