SeekTable
SeekTable is a self-service BI tool for exploring tabular data and creating operational or embedded reports. Users can build live pivot tables, charts and flat table reports, then export them to PDF, CSV, Excel, JSON or plain HTML. Supported sources include CSV, TSV, Excel, DBF, SQL databases, MongoDB, Elasticsearch and XMLA OLAP endpoints. Database-backed reports query current data directly; CSV reports can be refreshed by uploading a newer file. AI features include natural-language Ask Data, semantic search, report analysis for insights and anomalies, and an MCP server for AI agents. Reports can be published on the web or embedded with an iframe; secure embedding with row-level security is available in the self-hosted version. Automation can use Zapier, Microsoft Power Automate, Integromat or the Web API. Cloud accounts can encounter a pivot-table size error above 1,000,000 cells, and heavy-load accounts may be asked to reconfigure or move instances. A free account is available; paid plans start at $25/mo (annual).
