Stuck in a data desert? 

Are you begging your data team for answers, only to receive them days later? CSV file exports and excel cobbled together “reports” as the solution to your request? Enter Kater, the innovative platform that brings data to your fingertips with lightning-fast answers in plain English.

The Problem: Data Silos and Overwhelmed Teams

Data is the goldmine of your business, but accessing it often feels like chasing a mirage. Data teams are buried under simple ad hoc requests, leaving them little time for high-level strategic analysis. This creates a frustrating backlog for everyone, hindering data-driven decisions.

Introducing Butler: Your AI Data Whisperer

Meet Butler, Kater’s AI data agent. Think of him as your never-tiring, always-learning data intern. Unlike a real intern, Butler doesn’t need coffe breaks or supervision. He sits on top of your data warehouse, quietly absorbing information about your specific needs and data structure.

How Butler Works: Magic Meets Machine Learning

Butler starts with a basic understanding of your data. But he’s a quick learner! He uses a combination of advanced technologies like Large Language Models (LLMs) and Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) to analyze your database, metrics, and business goals. The more you use him, the smarter he gets.

From Simple Queries to Powerful Insights

Need a quick answer? Butler handles simple requests like "List 500 active US customers from 2010" in a flash. And because Butler learns from past interactions, you can be confident the answer is accurate.

But Butler's not just about quick answers. He can also help you explore your data in new ways, encouraging curiosity-driven discovery and leading to deeper insights. Imagine going from basic questions to white-paper-worthy analyses, all within the intuitive Kater platform.

Why we like Kater.ai

Data sits in multiple systems in most companies, with a duplicate idea of “the customer” in marketing, sales, finance, e-commerce, trouble ticketing and support. Having a single data agent to solve the nightmare of moving data and reporting on “the customer” is better than the historical approach of Customer Data Platforms.
