Analyse your Power BI data in Claude and ChatGPT. Securely.

Connect Claude, ChatGPT or any AI app that supports MCP to DataTako. Go deeper than a report allows: ask follow-up questions, compare periods, find the cause behind a number and update your data. Every request runs under the user's own access and row-level security.

Available on Scale and Enterprise. No AI credits needed: it runs on your own AI subscription.

Ask

Ask your semantic model, not just the report

A report answers the questions it was built for. Your AI app can ask the next one. It reads the tables, measures and relationships of your model, uses the business context you gave your AI agent, writes the DAX and explains what it found.

  • ✓Uses your model's own measures, so the numbers match your reports
  • ✓Handles large results by paging through them
  • ✓Reuses earlier successful questions on the same model
  • ✓Only the models you made available, only the rows the user may see

Act

Update your data from the conversation

Management forms turn database tables into editable grids in DataTako. With AI apps, your team can read and update those rows straight from the chat: add next month's targets, correct a mapping, close an action item.

  • ✓Read, add, change and delete: switch each one on per form
  • ✓Never more than the user's own rights in DataTako
  • ✓Up to 500 rows per change, saved all-or-nothing
  • ✓Every change made through an AI app shows up in the AI activity log

  • ✓Opt in per report, per AI agent and per form
  • ✓See and revoke connections, effective within a minute
  • ✓Activity log by user, app, report or form
  • ✓Unused connections expire after 90 days

White-label

Signed in on your domain, with your SSO

Organisations with a custom domain get their own connector URL. Users sign in and approve the connection on your branded sign-in page, with the identity providers you already use.

Data dashboards

Turn the analysis into a dashboard for everyone

Found something worth sharing? Ask your AI app to build a data dashboard on the same model. You check the draft and publish it to your portal, and every viewer sees their own numbers.

Security

Built on the security you already have

AI apps use the same users, roles and row-level security as your portal. Nothing is shared that a user couldn't already see.

RL

Row-level security

Every query runs with the user's own RLS roles. No role, no data.

OI

Opt-in

Nothing is available to AI apps until you switch it on, per report, AI agent and form.

TK

Scoped tokens

Connections use tokens that only work for AI apps, not for the rest of DataTako.

90

Short-lived access

Access tokens last an hour. Unused connections expire after 90 days.

RV

Revoke anytime

Disconnect a user or app, effective within a minute.

LG

No query storage

The activity log records who did what, not the queries or the data.

AI

Your AI subscription

No DataTako AI credits and no API keys to manage.

IP

Respects your network rules

Organisations with an IP whitelist stay closed to AI apps.

FAQ

Questions about AI apps

Which AI apps work with DataTako?

Any AI app that supports remote MCP connectors, including Claude (desktop and claude.ai), ChatGPT, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. You add one connector URL and sign in with your DataTako account.

Does the AI app respect row-level security?

Yes. Every query runs under the signed-in user's own access and RLS roles, exactly as when they open the report. A user without an RLS role gets no data.

Can the AI app change my data?

Only in management forms where an admin has switched on adding, changing or deleting, and never beyond the user's own rights in DataTako. Database views and forms without a primary key stay read-only. Reports and semantic models are always read-only.

Does DataTako store my questions or data?

The activity log records who used which app on which report or form, not the questions or the results. Large query results are held for at most an hour so the AI app can page through them. How your AI provider handles your conversations depends on your agreement with them.

Do I need AI credits or an API key?

No. AI apps use your own AI subscription, such as Claude or ChatGPT. DataTako doesn't charge for AI usage.

What's the difference with the built-in AI agent?

The built-in AI agent is a chat inside the portal and the mobile app, for every viewer, using an AI provider key you configure. AI apps connect your team's own AI app to DataTako, for deeper analysis and for updating data.

Which plan do I need?

AI apps are available on Scale and Enterprise.

We use an IP whitelist. Can we use AI apps?

No. Requests from AI apps come from the AI provider's servers, so organisations with an active IP whitelist can't connect AI apps.
