Brighthive is an AI-powered data team in a box that combines seven core AI agents with a reasoning-driven orchestration layer to automate everything from data ingestion, governance, engineering to analytics and visualization. The platform is designed to make enterprise-grade data intelligence accessible to organizations that don't have deep benches of engineers or data scientists.


Empowering Business Teams as Data Consumers

Brighthive is designed for "data consumers"—the 97% of enterprise workforce that operates on insights but traditionally can't access them easily. This includes all teams - from human resources, finance, customer care, marketing, revenue operations, procurement, sales, growth, and strategy teams - who need data-driven insights but lack technical data skills.


Natural Language Data Interaction

Through BrightAgent, teams can:

  • Ask questions like "What were our top 5 product returns last quarter from Shopify?"

  • Get instant analysis with visualized results

  • Continue conversations to refine insights and generate custom dashboards


Accelerated Time to Strategy

Brighthive 2.0 specifically focuses on "accelerating the speed to strategy across every corporate team" by:

  • Processing data from spreadsheets, CRM systems, and other cloud based business tools

  • Translating deep data sets into actionable insights

  • Making automated data storytelling a new way of working.


A Simple Workflow for Business Teams

  1. Connect: Integrate data from over 350+ cloud data platforms plus upload proprietary structured and unstructured data files 

  2. Ask Questions: Use natural language to query data (e.g., "Show me our sales trends by region")

  3. Get Insights: Receive instant analysis with Jupyter notebooks and rich visualizations

  4. Share Results: Generate shareable dashboards and insightful data assets for team collaboration.


Platform Capabilities


Brighthive's key value proposition is accelerating time to insight, for all teams, from weeks/months to minutes, making data-driven decision making accessible to any role regardless of technical background.


Core Platform Components

Brighthive's platform centers around seven AI agents working through the entire data workflow:

  1. BrightAgent - The main agentic AI supervisor agent that serves as the conversational interface for the user and orchestrate the data work across the team of data agents

  2. Data Ingestion Agent - Integrates data via connectors from 350+ platforms 

  3. Data Retrieval Agent - Builds organization-specific knowledge graphs from business context

  4. Data Governance Agent - Handles data governance, quality and compliance policies

  5. Exploratory Analytics Agent - Scans data catalogs and performs queries

  6. Data Visualization Agent - Creates shareable dashboards and visualizations

  7. Data Engineering Agent - Manages data pipelines, transformations and produces dbt code

  8. Custom Studio - Additional user created custom agents for specific workflows


In addition to having six AI data agents working in unison as your full data team, Brighthive Studio allows users to create custom AI agents for specific business needs, enabling non-technical employees to build their own data-driven tools through natural language prompts.The platform integrates with existing data infrastructure (warehouses, ETL tools, DBT) and can provide a managed data stack for organizations without existing infrastructure.
