Why Agami
The trust layer, not another destination.
Ask in Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Copilot, or any tool that supports MCP, and Agami answers from your databases through one shared, governed context, with your security and governance enforced.
Compare approaches
Four ways to put AI on your data. One is built for trust.
Most teams reach for one of these. Here is how the approaches differ.

What only Agami does
No lock-in, by design
Cortex needs your data in Snowflake. Genie needs it in Databricks. A BI tool needs you inside its app. Agami connects the assistant your team already chose to the sources you already have, governed in one place.
Trust is more than context
Most tools treat context as just a semantic model. Agami defines it as three things: what a question means (semantics), who can ask it (access), and where the answer lives (routing). But context alone isn't enough, so Agami wraps it in governance and audit, and the answer isn't just plausible, it's one you can stand behind.
It gets better the more you use it
Agami's context sharpens as your team asks real questions, so answers improve over time instead of drifting.
When you might not need Agami
If all your data lives in one warehouse and you only use one AI tool, that vendor’s native option can carry the context for you. Agami earns its place the moment your context has to hold across more than one source and more than one assistant, with one governed, audited layer over all of it.
Works with the assistants your team already uses
Gartner projects that by 2028, 60% of agentic-analytics projects relying solely on MCP will fail without a consistent semantic layer.
Questions buyers ask
Isn’t MCP enough on its own?
MCP is the plumbing that lets an assistant call your data. It does not give you shared context (semantics, access, and routing), governance, or consistent answers across sources. That context and governance layer is what Agami adds on top, and it is what keeps answers trustworthy at scale.
Do I need to move my data?
No. Agami connects to your existing databases where they are. Your data does not have to be centralized in one warehouse.
Does it work with ChatGPT and Claude, or just one?
Any of them. Agami is assistant-agnostic and works with Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, and Copilot, so you are not locked to one vendor’s assistant.
How is this different from a semantic layer like Cube or dbt?
Those define metrics, which is one dimension of context: semantics. Agami adds the other two, access and routing, and serves governed answers across sources to any assistant. Semantics alone is necessary but not sufficient, so Agami wraps every answer in governance and audit.
How is it different from a BI tool’s AI?
BI-tool AI is strongest inside that tool’s own app. Agami delivers the answer inside the assistant your team already uses, across sources the BI tool may not own.
Is it secure enough for enterprise data?
Agami enforces central access control and keeps a full audit of every query, across all connected sources and assistants.
