From question to answer in one governed, AI-powered workflow.

dbt powers trusted data at scale for the world's largest companies
Empower analysts to transform data
Explore, transform, and model data - without writing SQL from scratch. dbt Canvas brings analysts into the fold with an AI-assisted visual workspace that’s fully governed.
Analytics is stuck in tabs, silos, and endless wait times.
Analysts need answers fast but are blocked by engineering bottlenecks or ungoverned point solutions. The result is tab-switching, rework, and unreliable insights. dbt replaces this with a governed, AI-powered workflow that helps teams move faster — with confidence.
Fragmented tools lead to security risks and duplicate work
Unreliable data creates rework and erodes trust
Lack of governance makes it hard to scale analytics
Move from discovery to insight, faster.
With dbt, analysts work alongside data teams using the same trusted standards where they can build, explore, and share, no matter their technical level. The result is faster decisions, fewer bottlenecks, and reliable insights.
Analysts can find what they need and trust what they find with dbt Catalog, helping them explore and understand data across sources in one governed place
Build, explore, and analyze without bottlenecks.
Whether it's a last-minute request, an ad-hoc query, or a new KPI validation, analysts can pull the data they need, trust what they find, and move forward—without relying on engineering.

I’m fairly SQL proficient, but not a daily user, so dbt Canvas is a great way to make small changes without worrying about writing perfect SQL. The drag-and-drop interface makes it easier and faster to update existing models without breaking anything. It’s especially helpful for less frequent or less advanced SQL users.
