How It Works
From Data Source to Dashboard in Minutes
1

Connect Your Source

Point Knowi at your database, API, or stream. Native connectors for MongoDB, Elasticsearch, Kafka, Kinesis, InfluxDB, REST APIs, and 25+ more. No drivers or middleware.

2

Query in Place

Write queries in each source's native language or use natural language. Join data across sources at query time. No extraction, no staging tables, no warehouse.

3

Dashboards Update Live

Visualizations refresh as data changes. Set alerts that fire instantly when thresholds are crossed. Embed dashboards in your product with real-time updates for your customers.

Capabilities
What Makes Knowi Different for Real-Time

Streaming Data Ingestion

Native connectors for Apache Kafka, Amazon Kinesis, MQTT, and webhook-based streams. Data flows directly into dashboards without landing in a warehouse first.

Cross-Source Joins

Combine streaming data with database records in real time. Join Kafka events with MongoDB customer data and Elasticsearch logs in a single query.

Instant Alerts and Anomaly Detection

Threshold alerts, anomaly detection, and data-change triggers fire the moment conditions are met. Route to Slack, email, PagerDuty, or webhooks.

Real-Time Embedded Dashboards

Embed live-updating dashboards in your product. Multi-tenant row-level security ensures each customer sees only their data. White-label everything.

AI on Live Data

Run natural language queries and ML models on real-time data streams. Private AI processes everything inside your infrastructure. No data sent externally.

40+ Visualizations

Time-series charts, heatmaps, geomaps, scatter plots, gauges, pivot tables, and more. Every chart type updates in real time as data flows in.

How Knowi Compares
Traditional BI vs. Knowi Real-Time
Most BI tools require a warehouse and batch ETL. Knowi queries sources directly.
Capability Knowi Traditional BI

Real-time dashboard updates ✓ Sub-second Batch refresh (15min+)
Streaming data (Kafka, Kinesis) ✓ Native connectors Requires ETL pipeline
Cross-source joins ✓ At query time Pre-modeled in warehouse
NoSQL support (MongoDB, ES, Cassandra) ✓ Native query language Flattened via ODBC
Embedded analytics ✓ White-label, multi-tenant Limited or add-on
ETL pipelines to build 0 Multiple
Time to first dashboard Minutes Weeks to months

Teams That Run on Real-Time Knowi Data
"
What drew us in about Knowi is the ability to query the data in its native format. We went from weeks of ETL pipeline work to dashboards updating in real time. The team saw results the same day we connected our data sources.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Common Questions About Real-Time Analytics
What does "real-time" actually mean in Knowi?
Knowi queries your data sources directly at the moment you view a dashboard or when a scheduled trigger fires. For streaming sources like Kafka and Kinesis, data flows continuously into visualizations with sub-second latency. There is no batch ETL step in between.
Do I need a data warehouse to use Knowi?
No. Knowi connects directly to your databases, APIs, and streams. You can query MongoDB, Elasticsearch, PostgreSQL, REST APIs, Kafka, and 30+ other sources without extracting data into a warehouse first. If you already have a warehouse, Knowi can connect to that too.
Can Knowi join data from different sources in real time?
Yes. Knowi performs cross-source joins at query time. For example, you can join Kafka streaming events with MongoDB customer records and Elasticsearch logs in a single query without pre-modeling the data.
Which streaming platforms does Knowi support?
Knowi has native connectors for Apache Kafka, Amazon Kinesis, MQTT, and webhook-based streams. Data from these sources flows directly into dashboards and alerts without requiring an ETL pipeline.
Can I embed real-time dashboards in my own application?
Yes. Knowi supports white-label embedded analytics with multi-tenant row-level security. Each of your customers sees only their data. Dashboards update in real time inside your product, and the entire interface can be branded to match your application.
How do real-time alerts work?
You set threshold conditions, anomaly detection rules, or data-change triggers on any query or dashboard. When conditions are met, alerts fire immediately and route to Slack, email, PagerDuty, or custom webhooks. No polling interval is required.
Is there a free trial?
Yes. Knowi offers a free trial with full access to all connectors, real-time features, and embedded analytics. No credit card required to start.
