Deliver complete data analysis from a single question

1. You explain your problem. 2. Kater identifies the most important data questions to ask. 3. Kater writes the code. 4. You get insights in seconds rather than weeks. Kater.ai flips the script on enterprise analytics by making every user an expert analyst. It uses a continuous classification engine to turn a single business question into a contextualized package of questions that is specific to your needs. Kater puts the power of data into the hands of business experts while ensuring they use trusted data that is specific to their persona. No more waiting for data analysts. No more wasted time on analysis misfires and rework. Yvonne was a data engineer and analyst who built the entire data stack at CREXi. Robin led engineering in Microsoft. Data is the new oil. Companies are data-rich, insight-poor. We're helping companies become insight-rich. This is the future of data.

Kater: Ask data questions in plain English

TL;DR

Instead of Slacking the data team and waiting 4 days for an answer, use Kater to get the answer in 30 seconds. We make it possible for executives to understand why business outcomes occur, and even alert them before the outcomes happen again.

đź‘‹ Hey Everyone

We’re Yvonne and Robin. We have over 9 years working in data teams for companies like Microsoft, Kaiser Permanente, Crexi, and Abbott.

As data people, 80%-90% of our time was dedicated to low-level data requests. When really, the true business value of data comes from answering the “why” questions.

That’s why we started kater.ai — we are committed to automating these low-level questions, and empowering everyone in a company to answer “why” business outcomes occur. These are the million dollar questions that fundamentally change how businesses operate, and ones they’ve historically never been able to address.

🤔 Why Can’t Companies Answer “Why” Questions?

The existing enterprise data operation workflow is unscalable.

  1. Data teams receive 10-15 adhoc requests per day
  2. Companies spend on average $10.5 million/year in data analyst salaries
  3. Data is extremely messy

👨‍💼📊 Meet Butler: Your AI Data Agent

The solution:

Butler is an AI agent that organizes the chaos of data.

We found a new way to auto-document your data team’s tribal knowledge through generating a data map. Butler indexes and searches the data map using a AgentMesh Framework.

Butler helps generate hypotheses, writes the queries to validate those hypotheses, and finds any insights from the queries.

🧠 Butler Continuously Learns

We use a combination of RAG and GenAI to capture any feedback users give to support future context for Butler.

A 30-second Demo:

đź”— The Set Up Process:

  1. Simply connect Kater’s website to your data warehouse.
  2. We’ll auto-generate descriptions for all your tables and columns, and immediately start building the data map for you.
  3. After you verify the data map is correct, in less than 10 minutes, you can start asking questions about your data and training Butler.

🙏 Our Ask

We currently support connections with Snowflake, Bigquery, and Microsoft SQL Server. If you have any of these (of even if you don’t, we can build a connector in 1 hour) and want to be able to query your data using English, reach out to us at support@kater.ai!
