Governed Agentic Analytics

Three layers. One governed answer.

Quaeris is built on a governed semantic layer, trusted AI agents, and enterprise-grade security controls - so every answer your team gets is accurate, auditable, and role-scoped. Architecture is not a marketing claim. It is what prevents hallucinations.

  • Warehouse-native Your data never leaves your environment

  • Prompt-level audit trail Every question, every answer, logged

  • BYOM Connect OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, or Meta

Core Capabilities

One platform. Four pillars of
governed, provable analytics.

From a plain-language question to a board-ready answer - every step certified, every metric traceable, every result grounded in your warehouse.

Plain-language questions. Governed, audited answers.

Quaeris Trusted Agents translate any business question into a query that runs against your certified semantic layer - returning an answer with a full trace to its source, never a hallucination.

  • Role-gated from the first token: agents only surface metrics the asking user is permitted to see.
  • Every answer cites its certified metric, the semantic definition used, and the warehouse table queried.
  • Natural-language clarification loop catches ambiguous questions before a query fires - no silent misinterpretation.

Connects to your existing stack

Platform architecture

Governance-first by design.
Not by dashboard filter.

Most AI analytics tools apply governance as a permission layer on top of an existing BI stack. Quaeris encodes it at three levels simultaneously - in the semantic layer that defines your metrics, in the agents that answer questions, and in the security controls that scope every query. Each layer reinforces the others.

Governed Semantic Layer

Your data team defines metrics once - revenue, activation rate, churn - inside Quaeris's Smart Semantic Layer. The layer auto-learns business definitions from user interaction; no upfront LookML or MDX modeling sprint is required. Every agent answer traces back to these certified definitions. Conflicting numbers across teams stop being a problem.

Trusted AI Agents

Business users ask questions in plain language. Quaeris agents plan and execute multi-step analyses - fetch, filter, join, forecast, anomaly-detect, root-cause - without a human in every step. Critically, agents query the governed semantic layer, not raw tables or a language model's memory. Every number is traceable to a certified metric.

Deep dive

Enterprise Security

Role-based access controls are enforced at query time, not as a dashboard filter. Quaeris runs warehouse-native - your data never leaves your environment. Every query, every agent step, and every answer is logged in a full prompt-level audit trail. Bring your own model: connect OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, or Meta and switch as your compliance posture evolves.

How Quaeris works

From plain-language question to governed answer - in four steps.

A transparent pipeline. No black boxes, no unexplained numbers, no hallucinations.

Connect your warehouse

Quaeris connects directly to your existing Snowflake, BigQuery, Databricks, Azure Synapse, or Amazon Redshift instance. No data copying, no pipelines to rebuild. SharePoint and Google Drive connect for document ingestion alongside structured warehouse data.

Build the governed semantic layer

Your data team defines certified metric definitions, business rules, ownership, and lineage. The Smart Semantic Layer also auto-learns business context from user interaction - reducing the upfront authoring burden that every other semantic-layer product requires.

Ask in plain language

Business users type questions as they would to a colleague. Quaeris agents interpret the question, traverse the semantic layer, plan multi-step analysis where needed, and return a precise, source-cited answer. Data and Document Agents can join structured and unstructured data in a single query.

Audited, role-scoped answers

Every answer shows the metric definitions it used and the agent steps it took. Role-based access controls enforce what each user can see - at query time, not dashboard level. The full prompt-level audit trail logs who asked what and when, satisfying internal governance and emerging obligations such as the EU AI Act.

Core capabilities

Six capabilities that make every answer trustworthy.

Quaeris is not a single feature wrapped in a product shell. Six integrated capabilities work together - and each one is governed by the semantic layer beneath it.

Natural Language to SQL

Plain-English questions translate into precise, governed SQL - checked against the semantic layer, not generated freeform. No query goes to the warehouse without passing through certified metric definitions.

Autonomous Multi-Step Workflows

Agents plan and execute analyses that span multiple steps - fetch, filter, join, forecast, anomaly-detect, root-cause - without requiring a human to hand off each stage.

Predictive and Proactive Analysis

Forecasts, anomaly flags, root-cause diagnosis, and proactive alerts surface issues before they reach the board. The agent tells you what changed and why, not just what the current number is.

Smart Semantic Layer

Auto-learns business definitions and data relationships from user interaction. No upfront LookML or MDX modeling sprint. The layer improves as usage grows and is controlled by your data team.

BYOM - Bring Your Own Model

Connect OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, or Meta models and switch as the landscape evolves. Quaeris is not the model gatekeeper. Your compliance team chooses the model; the governed layer stays constant.

Data and Document Agents

Extract structured fields from contracts, invoices, and resumes - then join with warehouse fact tables in a single natural-language query. Structured and unstructured data as co-equal citizens in one governed query.

Three-engine information architecture

Context Engine. Answer Engine. Decision Engine.

Quaeris organizes its capabilities into three named engines. Each engine is a cluster of sub-capabilities with its own URL, so your team can navigate directly to the feature that serves their workflow.

Context Engine

The Context Engine is where questions enter the system. Natural-language queries are parsed, mapped to the semantic layer, and enriched with the business context the Smart Semantic Layer has learned. This is where NL-to-SQL translation happens - checked, not generated. Sub-capabilities: Ask · Integrate · Activate.

Why architecture matters

Every competitor claims AI.
Not every architecture prevents hallucinations.

The difference is not the language model. It is whether governance is encoded at the architecture level or applied as a filter on top.

Incumbent BI platforms

Power BI Copilot is Azure-OpenAI bound. Tableau leans Einstein. Snowflake Cortex Analyst locks you to one warehouse and one model. When the compliance landscape changes, you cannot switch.

Quaeris answer

BYOM as a compliance feature

Quaeris is not the model gatekeeper. Connect OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, or Meta - and switch as your compliance posture or cost math evolves. The governed layer underneath stays constant regardless of which model sits above it.

Manual semantic layers

Cube, dbt Semantic Layer, AtScale, and Honeydew all require your team to author semantic definitions upfront - LookML, SML, or MetricFlow YAML. That is weeks of modeling before users can ask a single governed question.

Quaeris answer

Auto-learning Smart Semantic Layer

Quaeris's Smart Semantic Layer learns business definitions and data relationships from user interaction. It reduces the upfront authoring sprint every other semantic-layer product demands. Your team defines the rules; the layer handles the learning.

Document AI and BI as separate stacks

Tableau, Power BI, Looker, Qlik, and Sigma are structured-data-only. Glean and Hebbia are document-only. Every workflow that spans a contract and a warehouse fact table requires manual extraction and a second query tool.

Quaeris answer

Data and Document Agents in one query

Quaeris's Document Agents extract structured fields from contracts, invoices, and reports, then join them with warehouse data in a single natural-language query. Structured and unstructured data are co-equal citizens in the same governed system.

No. Quaeris agents query the governed semantic layer - they do not generate numbers from a language model's training data. Every answer is grounded in the certified metric definitions your data team controls. If a question cannot be answered from the semantic layer, the agent says so rather than guessing.
