Introduction

What Northlight is and how it answers questions about your product data.

Northlight is an AI analyst for your product. You ask a question in plain English; Northlight writes the query, runs it against your data with a read-only key, and returns a chart, a short answer and the query it used.

How it works

  1. Connect a database or warehouse. Northlight reads the schema and learns what your tables and events mean.
  2. Ask in chat, in Slack or on a chart. Follow-up questions keep the context.
  3. Share answers on boards, in scheduled reports or as embeds.

What Northlight never does

  • It never writes to your data sources.
  • It never stores raw rows unless you save an answer.
  • It never hides how an answer was computed.
