Best for
Developers, data teams, and enterprise teams needing an open-source GenBI engine with a reviewable, Git-friendly semantic context layer.
Key capabilities
Turns natural-language business questions into governed SQL and charts using schema-aware retrieval, MDL planning, and dry-plan validation.
Provides a reviewable, Git-friendly semantic layer (MDL, instructions.md) capturing business semantics, definitions, memory, and governance.
Builds interactive browser-side dashboards and deploys them to hosting platforms like Vercel or Cloudflare Pages.
Offers reference agent SDK integrations for LangChain/LangGraph and Python, enabling existing agents to drive BI workflows.
Provides hybrid retrieval for recalling similar past queries using a local LanceDB memory index.
Includes functions, dry-plans, row limits, and row-level/column-level access control for secure query execution.
Limitations and risks
The earlier Docker-based chat-first BI product (Wren AI GenBI) is on a legacy branch with no new features or security fixes.
Getting started
Install the Python package, add the CLI skills, and instruct the agent to set up the database and answer questions.
