Visit Quill

Quill is a headless embedded analytics platform for building dashboards, reports, and AI-generated answers directly inside an application. It keeps database connections on the customer's own servers, so sensitive data stays within their environment, and it validates AI-generated queries against an abstract syntax tree so invalid queries are filtered out before reaching users.

The platform includes a React SDK with modular hooks and components, a server SDK with configurable caching, an AI Reporting API (Agent API), and a CLI for creating and promoting reports. A BI platform provides dashboards, tenants, a semantic layer, sandbox and promotion workflows, and a conversational BI agent. It integrates with frontend frameworks (React, Next.js, Angular), backend languages (Node, Python, Ruby, .NET, Go, PHP), databases and warehouses (Postgres, MySQL, SQL Server, Snowflake, BigQuery, Redshift, Databricks, ClickHouse, DuckDB), semantic layers (dbt, Cube), coding agents, and CI/CD tools. The server SDK can be self-hosted, and existing authentication, RBAC, and tenant-scoped permissions can be reused.

Quill is aimed at product and engineering teams embedding analytics for their users, alongside data teams managing reporting schemas. Reporting can be managed through the web BI platform, a self-hosted BI platform, or the CLI. The pages do not specify pricing or packaging details.
