## 🎯 Overview **Datus** is an open-source data engineering agent that builds evolvable context for your data system. Data engineering needs a shift from "building tables and pipelines" to "delivering scoped, domain-aware agents for analysts and business users. ![DatusArchitecure](docs/assets/datus_architecture.svg) * Datus-CLI: An AI-powered command-line interface for data engineers—think "Claude Code for data engineers." Write SQL, build subagents, and construct context interactively. * Datus-Chat: A web chatbot providing multi-turn conversations with built-in feedback mechanisms (upvotes, issue reports, success stories) for data analysts. * Datus-API: APIs for other agents or applications that need stable, accurate data services. ## 🚀 Key Features ### 🧩 Contextual Data Engineering Automatically builds a **living semantic map** of your company’s data — combining metadata, metrics, reference SQL, and external knowledge — so engineers and analysts collaborate through context instead of raw SQL. ### 💬 Agentic Chat A **Claude-Code-like CLI** for data engineers. Chat with your data, recall tables or metrics instantly, and run agentic actions — all in one terminal. ### 🧠 Subagents for Every Domain Turn data domains into **domain-aware chatbots**. Each subagent encapsulates the right context, tools, and rules — making data access accurate, reusable, and safe. ### 🔁 Continuous Learning Loop Every query and feedback improves the model. Datus learns from success stories and user corrections to evolve reasoning accuracy over time. --- ## 🧰 Installation **Requirements:** Python >= 3.12 ```bash pip install datus-agent==0.2.1 datus-agent init ``` For detailed installation instructions, see the [Quickstart Guide](https://docs.datus.ai/getting_started/Quickstart/). ## 🧭 User Journey ### 1️⃣ Initial Exploration A Data Engineer (DE) starts by chatting with the database using /chat. They run simple questions, test joins, and refine prompts using @table or @file. Each round of feedback (e.g., "Join table1 and table2 by PK") helps the model improve accuracy. `datus-cli --namespace demo` `/Check the top 10 bank by assets lost @Table duckdb-demo.main.bank_failures` Learn more: [CLI Introduction](https://docs.datus.ai/cli/introduction/) ### 2️⃣ Building Context The DE imports SQL history and generates summaries or semantic models: `/gen_semantic_model xxx` `@subject` They edit or refine models in @subject, combining AI-generated drafts with human corrections. Now, /chat can reason using both SQL history and semantic context. Learn more: [Knowledge Base Introduction](https://docs.datus.ai/knowledge_base/introduction/) ### 3️⃣ Creating a Subagent When the context matures, the DE defines a domain-specific chatbot (Subagent): `.subagent add mychatbot` They describe its purpose, add rules, choose tools, and limit scope (e.g., 5 tables). Each subagent becomes a reusable, scoped assistant for a specific business area.

Results can be saved via !export. Learn more: [Web Chatbot Introduction](https://docs.datus.ai/web_chatbot/introduction/) ### 5️⃣ Refinement & Iteration Feedback from analysts loops back to improve the subagent: engineers fix SQL, add rules, and update context. Over time, the chatbot becomes more accurate, self-evolving, and domain-aware. For detailed guidance, please follow our [tutorial](https://docs.datus.ai/getting_started/contextual_data_engineering/).
