What Brewit does

Brewit helps companies to create their role-specific BI agents, trained on their database (through feeding sample queries, metric definitions, column descriptions, etc. to create a semantic layer) that can answer data questions/provide data insights (write SQL, generate plots) through a natural language experience.

Conversational data analytics for every team

What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

We build role-specific BI agents that live on a company's data. By feeding in sample queries, metric definitions, and column explanations, each agent creates a semantic layer that understands that business's data. Users across teams can then ask questions or request insights in natural language, and the agent writes SQL, generates charts, and surfaces answers without needing to know the underlying database.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

We all live in Palo Alto, CA, and Brewit is headquartered there.

Explain your decision regarding location.

We live in Palo Alto because we value being close to the tech ecosystem here and the access to engineering talent. Staying based here after YC keeps us close to potential customers and partners in the data analytics space.
