In plain words
Databench by Alkera is an open-source collaborative workspace for data teams that combines notebooks, chats, and agents for data science, analytics, and engineering work. Multiple users and AI agents can work together simultaneously on SQL and Python projects, with results traceable to underlying code and data. Users can run computations locally, on GPUs, or near their data warehouse, and share interactive dashboards that update live when inputs change. The platform is available free with a generous tier or can be self-hosted.

From the sources
Databench by Alkera is the open-source, multiplayer workspace for data science, analytics, and engineering. Collaborate live alongside teammates and agents in notebooks and chats, run any cell or agent on your laptop, a GPU, or next to your warehouse, and launch many agents in parallel to explore ideas. Every result traces back to the data and code behind it. Try it at https://alkera.ai with a generous free tier or host Databench yourself (https://github.com/AlkeraAI/Databench).
Alkera brings data engineering, analysis, and science into collaborative multiplayer workspaces for humans and agents.
Data engineering, analysis, and science in collaborative multiplayer workspaces for humans and agents. Use the Alkera agent to create rich analyses in SQL and Python notebooks, then share them as interactive dashboards. Change an input and only the numbers and charts that depend on it recalculate. Give a notebook's kernel a dedicated GPU node to train and post-train models, then chart the results in the same notebook. Your team and its agents collaborate on chats and notebooks in shared workspaces. Share dashboards and other artifacts with teammates, and they update live. Done. Enterprise is growing fastest, about 5% a month, and drives most of the year’sfrom alkera.ai

PylarDec 2025 · pylar.ai · ▲502Hey HN! We're Hoshang & Vishal, the team behind Pylar - a governed access layer between databases and LLMs. We previously led data and AI and we kept seeing the same problem across teams using LLMs internally: agents are great with unstructured data, but the moment you want them touching your actual systems of record — Snowflake, Postgres, CRMs, product DBs — everything becomes fragile, risky, or outright unsafe. Two issues show up every single time: 1. Agents over-querying They don’t understand cost. They’ll happily generate queries that blow up your warehouse bill. 2. Accidental data…
