Rill is an open-source business intelligence tool that combines a local developer application and cloud platform for building interactive dashboards from OLAP engines like DuckDB and ClickHouse. It uses a BI-as-code approach (YAML + SQL) with a semantic layer, natural-language agentic analytics, and an MCP server so AI coding agents can author and query projects.

Use cases

build interactive BI dashboards from CSV, Parquet, or data warehouses
explore large datasets with sub-second SQL queries
let business users query metrics in natural language
scaffold and manage BI projects with AI coding agents like Claude Code or Cursor
define a semantic layer of dimensions and measures as code
embed analytics dashboards into your own application
connect AI agents to metrics via an MCP server

When to choose

you want fast, code-driven BI on DuckDB or ClickHouse with dashboards as YAML and SQL
your team wants AI agents to build and explore analytics end-to-end
you need embedded, brandable dashboards with API access and alerts
you want a local developer tool plus a managed cloud deployment path

When to avoid

you need a traditional drag-and-drop BI suite with no code
your data lives only in transactional (OLTP) databases without an OLAP engine
you require heavy custom pixel-perfect reporting rather than metric dashboards
you want a fully offline tool with no cloud component for sharing
