# Kaelio > Kaelio builds **ktx**, **ktx Cloud**, and managed Data Agents so teams can give AI systems governed business context and approved metrics. ## About Kaelio is the company behind **ktx**, the open-source context layer for data agents. Teams can start with open-source **ktx**, move to hosted **ktx Cloud** for managed sync and governance workflows, or use Kaelio's managed Data Agent for business-user answers, digests, alerts, and follow-up analysis. **ktx** connects to data and context sources such as BigQuery, Snowflake, Postgres, dbt, Looker, and Metabase. It turns warehouse metadata, metric definitions, BI logic, lineage, query history, and business knowledge into governed context that agents can search, validate, and query through MCP and CLI workflows. ## Key Differentiators - Open-source **ktx** creates a reviewable context layer for data agents. - **ktx Cloud** hosts and governs that context layer for teams, with managed sync, review workflows, observability, SSO, and support. - Kaelio's Data Agent is the managed agent experience for business users, powered by **ktx**. - Kaelio does not replace dbt, Looker, Metabase, or existing BI tools. It consumes and governs the context those systems already contain. - Agent answers are grounded in approved metric definitions, permissions, lineage, and source systems. - The same context can power Kaelio's Data Agent, MCP-compatible agents, and custom internal agents. ## Products ### ktx The open-source context layer for data agents. **ktx** maps metrics, joins, permissions, source evidence, and business knowledge into reviewable YAML and Markdown that agents can use before they answer or query data. ### ktx Cloud The hosted version of **ktx** for teams. **ktx Cloud** adds managed ingest, multi-user workflows, review and approval, observability, SSO, and support on top of the same context-layer foundation. ### Data Agent Kaelio's managed AI data agent for business teams. It answers questions in plain English, delivers digests and alerts, and keeps answers tied to the governed context layer built by **ktx**. ## How It Works 1. Connect context sources: use sources such as BigQuery, Snowflake, Postgres, dbt, Looker, and Metabase. 2. Build the context layer: **ktx** extracts schemas, metrics, lineage, joins, dashboard logic, query history, permissions, and business knowledge. 3. Review and govern: data teams approve, edit, or enrich definitions so every agent uses the same source of truth. 4. Serve agents: Kaelio's Data Agent, MCP-compatible agents, and custom internal agents query the governed context. ## Key Pages - Homepage: https://www.kaelio.com - Open-source **ktx**: https://www.kaelio.com/get-started - **ktx Cloud**: https://www.kaelio.com/products/ktx-cloud - Data Agent: https://www.kaelio.com/products/data-agents - Pricing: https://www.kaelio.com/pricing - About: https://www.kaelio.com/about - Blog: https://www.kaelio.com/blog - Documentation: https://docs.kaelio.com - Book a Demo: https://www.kaelio.com/book-demo ## Integrations Kaelio avoids exhaustive connector lists in evergreen copy because source coverage changes frequently. Representative sources include: - Warehouses and databases such as BigQuery, Snowflake, and Postgres - Modeling and BI tools such as dbt, Looker, and Metabase - Documentation and business context sources such as Notion - Agent interfaces and workflows such as MCP-compatible clients, web, Slack, email, digests, and alerts ## Frequently Asked Questions ### What is ktx? **ktx** is an open-source context layer for data agents. It gives agents approved metric definitions, join logic, source evidence, lineage, permissions, and business context so they do not have to infer business meaning from raw schemas alone. ### What is ktx Cloud? **ktx Cloud** is the hosted version of **ktx** for teams that want managed sync, review workflows, SSO, observability, and support. ### What is Kaelio's Data Agent? Kaelio's Data Agent is the managed AI data agent for business teams. It answers data questions, delivers digests and alerts, and uses **ktx** as the context layer behind governed answers. ### Does Kaelio replace dbt, Looker, Metabase, or BI tools? No. Kaelio complements the tools a data team already uses. **ktx** can ingest context from systems such as dbt, Looker, and Metabase, then expose that governed context to agents. ### Which warehouses and tools does Kaelio support? Kaelio works with sources such as BigQuery, Snowflake, Postgres, dbt, Looker, and Metabase, plus modeling, BI, and documentation tools alongside the warehouse. ### How does Kaelio prevent agent hallucinations? Agents hallucinate when they lack business context and have to guess from schema names. **ktx** gives agents approved definitions, lineage, permissions, source evidence, and join logic before they answer. ### How long does setup take? Open-source **ktx** can be installed locally with `npm install -g @kaelio/ktx` and `ktx setup`. Hosted **ktx Cloud** and managed Data Agent deployments are guided by the Kaelio team. ### Is my data secure with Kaelio? Kaelio designs **ktx Cloud** and Data Agent deployments around governed access, SSO, RBAC, auditability, and source-system permissions. Customer data is not used to train shared models. ## Technical Details - Open source package: `@kaelio/ktx` - Local setup command: `ktx setup` - Project file: `ktx.yaml` - Local project state: `.ktx/` - Agent access: MCP and CLI workflows - Governance: reviewable definitions, source evidence, lineage, permissions, and auditability ## Contact - Website: https://www.kaelio.com - Email: info@kaelio.com - X/Twitter: https://x.com/KaelioAI - LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/kaelio-ai/
