Guides, comparisons, customer stories, and industry solutions for teams running analytics directly on their data. No warehouse required.
Two guides that explain how Knowi is different
If you are new to direct-connect analytics or to agentic BI, read these first. Everything else in the Knowledge Center builds on them.
Embedded analytics: overview, best practices, and challenges
The three embedding methods, white-labeling, multi-tenancy with row-level security, and what breaks without third-party cookies.

Side by side on the things that decide the evaluation: native connectors, cross-source joins at query time, warehouse dependency, embedding model, and where the AI runs.
Frequently Asked Questions
What databases does Knowi connect to?
Knowi natively connects to 70+ data sources including MongoDB, Elasticsearch, Cassandra, DynamoDB, InfluxDB, Couchbase, REST APIs, GraphQL, and all major SQL databases (PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQL Server, BigQuery, Snowflake, Redshift). No ODBC drivers, ETL pipelines, or data warehouse required.
Can Knowi join data from different databases in one query?
Yes. Knowi queries each data source natively and joins the results at query time. For example, you can join MongoDB customer records with Elasticsearch log data and Salesforce API results in a single query without moving data to a warehouse.
What is Private AI in Knowi?
Private AI is Knowi's on-premises AI engine that processes all queries inside your infrastructure. No data is sent to external LLMs or cloud AI services. It supports natural language querying on unmodeled data and Document AI for querying PDFs and Word files.
Does Knowi require a data warehouse?
No. Knowi queries databases directly where the data lives. You can optionally use a warehouse if you have one, but it is not required. This eliminates ETL pipeline maintenance and gives you real-time access to source data.
How does embedded analytics work in Knowi?
Knowi offers three embedding methods: iframe embedding, URL-based embedding, and component embedding. All support white-labeling, multi-tenancy with row-level security, and do not depend on third-party cookies. Read the complete guide.
What is Agentic BI?
Agentic BI is a new approach where AI agents autonomously investigate data, follow analytical threads, and surface insights without manual query building. Learn how it works.
