> Build and run AI apps, dashboards, and agents on governed warehouse data. Sigma lets every team build with chat, a spreadsheet, SQL, or Python.
Sigma is the AI runtime for business. A governed platform where teams build and run AI apps and agents directly on live cloud warehouse data (Snowflake, Databricks, BigQuery, Redshift). Ask in natural language, build agents that act on your data, write back to close the loop, and analyze in a familiar spreadsheet interface, all governed.
