Databox

What Databox is

Databox is an agentic analytics platform for growing businesses and agencies. It connects 130+ data sources, defines metrics once in a built-in semantic layer, and lets people and AI agents use the same numbers through dashboards, an AI analyst, an MCP server, a REST API and now a command-line interface.
