Visit nao

nao is an open-source analytics agent builder that lets teams structure agent context in a file system, synchronize it from databases, repositories, and external sources, and test its reliability before deployment. It provides a chat interface for running analytics on connected data, with options to self-host or use nao Cloud.

The chat UI supports data stories, chat monitoring, and bringing your own LLM key, with access from Slack, Teams, WhatsApp, Telegram, Claude, Codex, Cursor, and other MCP clients.
