Build data analysis reports and dashboards with a coding agent
A toolkit gives a coding agent a semantic layer and dashboard files so it can query data warehouses and publish in-depth reports and visualizations.
What they did
Graphene is an npm CLI that you add to a project, either standalone or inside a repo such as dbt. You define semantic models in .gsql files and pages in markdown files. You start the dev server and prompt your coding agent to answer a question, build a dashboard, or edit the model. The agent writes GSQL queries and chart components, and the CLI checks syntax, renders pages, and prints screenshots so it can iterate.
How it went
The source gives no measured results. It claims analysis runs 10x faster and that pages look consistent by default, and it lists Snowflake, BigQuery, ClickHouse, Postgres, MotherDuck and DuckDB as supported sources.
Worth knowing
The Elastic License 2.0 allows free internal use only. Building a commercial product on it needs a separate agreement, and using it without Graphene Cloud requires git and a coding agent.
