What is MinusX?

MinusX is an open-source agentic data platform designed to replace traditional business intelligence tools with AI-powered data agents. Built by the creators of the top-rated Metabase AI assistant, MinusX addresses the problem of static BI tools that require manual SQL writing and dashboard maintenance. Its core capabilities include ad-hoc question answering, automated dashboard creation, proactive alerts, and a knowledge base that learns from every interaction. The platform supports multiple data sources like Postgres, BigQuery, and CSV uploads, and integrates with Slack, MCPs, and other AI workflows. MinusX is ranked #1 on DataAgentBench, a realistic benchmark from UC Berkeley's EPIC lab, demonstrating state-of-the-art performance. It fits workflows for founders, data teams, and non-technical users who need instant, trustworthy insights from their data without writing SQL.
