Holistics

Self-service AI analytics with programmable semantic layer

Visit Holistics

Holistics is a business intelligence platform built around a programmable semantic layer, designed to keep AI-generated answers and point-and-click analysis consistent by drawing both from the same governed metric definitions. It addresses the problem of inconsistent numbers across dashboards, reports, and AI tools when business logic is scattered across individual queries and spreadsheets.

Core capabilities include AI analytics for natural-language questions, self-service BI with interactive dashboards and exploration, and embedded analytics for customer-facing applications. Models, metrics, and dashboards are defined as code in AML and managed through Git version control, with an analytics query language (AQL) for composable metrics. The semantic layer can be accessed from external AI tools such as Claude, ChatGPT, and Cursor via MCP and APIs. Additional features include dbt integration, CI/CD support, scheduled data delivery, alerts, row- and column-level permissions, and custom SSO.

Holistics is aimed at data teams building governed analytics infrastructure and business users who need self-service access without writing SQL. The platform offers a free trial, a demo sandbox with sample data, and multiple product editions covering AI analytics, self-service BI, and embedded analytics.
