ClickHouse
Agent platform
A no-code, conversational agent builder inside ClickHouse Cloud that lets users query and analyze ClickHouse data through natural-language chat, with Claude models wired in as the default.
Platform

Data service
Managed ClickHouse service on AWS, GCP and Azure whose console carries ClickHouse's own AI layer — the ClickHouse Assistant for writing and debugging SQL, the no-code ClickHouse Agents builder, a remote MCP server and Langfuse Cloud for LLM observability — on top of the open-source column-oriented analytics database.
Databricks
