Introducing Web Search: Real-Time Intelligence Meets Your Private Data

Web search is massively important for analytics agents. But it also should be very scary. We built it so it's not.

Why Web Search Changes Everything for Analytics Agents

Read blog post

Today, we're excited to launch Web Search for Zenlytic. Your AI data analyst has always been powerful, but she's been blind to the outside world. Every question Zoë answered was limited to what lived inside your data warehouse. Market shifts, competitor moves, breaking industry news: all invisible.

That changes now. Zoë pulls real-time context from the open web and combines it with your private company data in a single conversation. The result is a complete picture: internal performance plus external context.

Web search with your data is amazing. When it's secure.

Why Web Search Is So Complicated for Analytics Agents

Access to private data

Your company's sensitive analytics

Access to external content

The open web

The ability to take action

Sending data somewhere

What if the agent sees some malicious context from a web page and takes an unexpected action to send that data out of your system? Some of your most precious and sensitive data could be exfiltrated by a hacker just like that. In seconds.Most AI analytics vendors ignore this problem entirely. We refused to.

THE ZENLYTIC APPROACH

Secure by Design, Not by Guardrails

We've designed a custom web search implementation natively for data agents. It's not possible for Zoë to exfiltrate data because we carefully craft her tools so that capability simply doesn't exist.

This isn't a filter or a guardrail that can be bypassed by a clever prompt injection. It's a structural guarantee. The tools available to Zoë are designed so there is no pathway for data to leave your system, regardless of what instructions might appear in web content.

That means your team gets the full power of web-enriched analytics without the risk that keeps CISOs up at night.

Architecturally Impossible to Exfiltrate Data

Most AI agents rely on filters and guardrails that can be bypassed by prompt injection attacks. Zoë's tools are carefully crafted so that data exfiltration isn't prevented by a rule. It's prevented because the capability doesn't exist. No pathway out means no risk, period.

Combine Web Intelligence with Private Data

Ask Zoë a question that requires both internal analytics and real-time external context. She pulls web results and cross-references them with your private company data in a single conversation. Competitor closures, market shifts, industry news: all layered on top of the metrics you already trust.

Real-Time Context, Not Stale Snapshots

Zoë searches the live web every time you ask. No pre-loaded datasets, no weekly refreshes, no outdated snapshots. Whether it's a competitor announcement from this morning or a supply chain disruption from last night, Zoë finds it and factors it into her analysis.

Built Natively for Data Agents

This isn't a generic web search API bolted onto an analytics tool. Zenlytic built a custom web search implementation designed specifically for AI data agents. The architecture ensures that web content and private data interact safely, giving your team web-enriched analytics without compromising security.

Intuitive BI that your team will actually use

BI tools have always been built for technical users, making them inaccessible for the rest of your team. Zenlytic is metrics-native, making it self-service for normal people too. Powerful for them, easy for you.

Reduce quick data pulls by 57% 

With fast, configurable follow up questions, say goodbye to pulling lists of emails.

A complete self-serve toolkit

Your end users can ask Zöe in natural language, visualize data, and schedule dashboards.

Slack, email and more 

Talk to Zenlytic in Slack, email, and discord, or explore visuals in the Zenlytic dashboard.

Embedded spreadsheet calculations

Table calculations that are so easy, your team will use them like spreadsheets.

Smarter semantic data modeling - a cognitive layer

Self-serve fails because the data models haven’t been smart enough yet. Our powerful cognitive layer is a data model that ensures end-users can explore data without having to understand the warehouse. Zenlytic is DRYer, simpler to build, and easier to maintain than LookML.

100% consistency

No more reconciling numbers.  Define metrics once and make them available to the whole team.

Trusted by Data-Driven Teams

"We spent significant time searching for a solution that could unlock intelligent insights from our data. Plenty of tools told us about our sales last week, and none could solve real-world problems like the impact of tariffs on product costs. Zenlytic did it. Now, hundreds of leaders have an on-call AI data analyst."

Matt Griffiths
Chief Technology Officer

"BI adoption always stalls because tools are built for data people. Zenlytic is different. It lets my marketing and ops teams ask data questions in the way they actually think. Before, they had to rely on analysts. Now, they just ask."

Tyler Knapp
SVP Tech Strategy & Analytics

"Having Zoe has been such a huge help. I can type what I need without worrying about that usual learning curve that comes with data tools. Honestly, I start about 80% of my queries with Zoe now."

Kelly Murphy
VP, Direct to Consumer & Amazon

“Before Zoë, understanding forecast changes took hours or days and multiple tools. Now demand planners can see what changed, when, and why all in one place.”

Director of Demand Planning Analytics

"Zoë doesn’t just give answers, it walks you through the logic. It caught a gap between our forecasts and actual demand that could’ve cost us $15K a month, and helped us fix it before we went out of stock."

Director of Analytics
$1B+ Retail Company

"We needed a solution that let senior business leaders ask complex, data-driven questions without requiring SQL knowledge or report-building skills. After evaluating several GenAI tools, only Zenlytic fully harnessed AI to deliver meaningful, business-ready insights."
