It connects directly to major data warehouses (Snowflake, BigQuery, Redshift, Postgres, AWS Athena, Databricks, and more), learns your schema and context, and generates governed, SQL-backed responses and visualizations in the tools your team already uses, all while keeping your data where it lives and under your control. Compass builds organizational context over time so answers become more accurate and relevant, supports collaboration through Slack threads, can schedule recurring analysis, and provides a shared repository of definitions and insights that help reduce analytical silos and reliance on specialized SQL users.
