Wren AI
getwren.ai
What it is
Wren AI is a governed data agent for business questions, dashboard creation, and AI-agent data queries over MCP. Its MDL context layer models metrics, relationships, calculations, and approved data, and can be version controlled. The agent plans multi-step analysis, queries data, builds charts, and uses reusable Skills, shared Knowledge, and private project-scoped Memory. Users can describe dashboards, reports, or custom views in plain English, refine them conversationally, and save them as reusable Artifacts. Data connections include Snowflake, BigQuery, Databricks, Redshift, PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQL Server, Oracle, ClickHouse, Trino, Starburst, Athena, and CSV. Claude, ChatGPT, Claude Code, and compatible MCP clients can call Wren AI as a sub-agent. Deployment options include managed or private cloud, self-hosting, and air-gapped setups. The maker describes OIDC identity, project isolation, supported row- or column-level query controls, and audit logs, and labels its cloud SOC 2. Essential Cloud costs $179 a month, billed annually; a free plan is also listed.
