Dashboards built on the semantic layer you already govern
Beginner
What is Exmergo Viz?
Exmergo Viz turns a governed dbt Semantic Layer into self-serve dashboards. Users ask questions in plain English, Viz resolves them against certified metrics and verified join paths, and every chart traces back to its definition and warehouse source.
Exmergo Viz is a business intelligence front end for teams that already maintain a dbt Semantic Layer. Instead of redefining metrics inside a BI tool, Viz points at the layer the data team governs and inherits its metrics, dimensions, and verified join paths along with their real definitions. The result is a dashboard builder where the numbers match what the rest of the stack reports, because nothing is recalculated on the way in. For organizations still without a semantic layer, file uploads are supported as a starting point. The interface is conversational rather than drag and drop. A user types a question in plain English, and Viz resolves it against named metrics in the layer instead of guessing at joins. Each answer states which metric it used and which path it took to get there, so a business user can see that revenue means net_revenue and that it was joined to dim_region on a verified route. Charts are generated dynamically from the result, and follow-up questions can split the same metric by another dimension. Interactive dashboards come together in minutes, and lineage runs from the warehouse table through the definition to the chart. Governance is the core selling point, and it extends beyond definitions. On Exmergo Enterprise, role-based access control and workspace permissions decide who can query what, PII policy is enforced on every query, and audit trails record each step from prompt to chart. Permission-aware context means the layer, not the language model, decides what data is visible. Data sources listed for the broader platform include Snowflake, Databricks, BigQuery, Redshift, ClickHouse, PostgreSQL, DuckDB, and Exmergo Dex. Viz fits teams that have invested in dbt metrics and want self-serve reporting without a second modeling effort in a conventional BI tool. It is less suited to companies with no semantic layer and no plans to build one, where a traditional BI product will do more work out of the box. The audience is analysts who own definitions plus the business users who consume them.
How do you use Exmergo Viz?
1Start the trial and open the workspace
Sign up for the 14-day trial from the product site and land in the Viz workspace. This is where connections, questions, and dashboards live.
2Connect the dbt Semantic Layer
Point Viz at the semantic layer your data team already maintains. Metrics, dimensions, and join paths load with their original definitions.
3Verify the loaded metrics
Check which metrics and dimensions arrived and confirm certified ones such as net_revenue are marked as your team defines them.4Ask a metric question in plain English
Type a question like revenue by region for Q1. Viz resolves it against your definitions and names the metric and join path it used.5Refine with a follow-up dimension
Split the result by another governed dimension and watch the chart rebuild, without writing SQL or adding calculated fields.6Save the result as a dashboard
Assemble the answers into an interactive dashboard that keeps tracing back to the layer, and follows when definitions change.
Pros and cons
Pros
- Reads existing dbt Semantic Layer definitions, so metrics are not rebuilt inside the BI toolAI
- Answers name the metric used and the join path taken, making results checkableAI
- Lineage runs from warehouse to definition to chart, and dashboards follow layer changesAI
- Self-serve plain English querying reduces dependence on analysts for routine questionsAI
- Enterprise tier adds RBAC, PII policy enforcement, and full audit trailsAI
Cons
- The core value depends on an existing semantic layer, so the fit is poor without oneAI
- Only the dbt Semantic Layer is named as the governed integration, narrowing the vendor setAI
- Governance features such as audit trails and PII enforcement are tied to Exmergo EnterpriseAI
- No public pricing detail on the homepage beyond the existence of Pro and Ultra tiersAI
- Conversational charting suits metric questions better than highly custom or pixel-perfect report layoutsAI
