The Toucan AI Approach: What We Do

We believe analytics should be easy to build, easy to use, and easy to trust. Here’s how we make that happen:

  • Connect to your data: Plug in your databases (PostgreSQL, data warehouses, and more) in just a few clicks.

  • Model your business logic: Use our semantic layer to define metrics, dimensions, and relationships—so everyone speaks the same data language.

  • Create charts and dashboards, your way: Describe what you want in plain language and let our AI build it for you, or take full control with manual configuration.

  • Embed analytics and conversational AI: Use our web components and SDKs to bring dashboards and chat-driven insights into your app—no heavy lifting required.

  • Stay secure and compliant: Row-level security, role-based access control, and compliance features are built in from day one.

  • Automate and integrate: REST API endpoints let you generate tokens, run data queries, and embed analytics programmatically.

  • Deploy your way: Choose SaaS for simplicity, or self-host with Helm or Docker for full control.

Boundaries

Toucan AI is not:

  • A general-purpose BI tool (like Tableau or Power BI)

  • A data warehouse or ETL platform

  • An “AI add-on” for legacy dashboards

We’re focused on teams who want to embed analytics and conversational dashboards into their products—with seamless integration, strong governance, and a developer-friendly experience.
