What is AnswerDock?

AnswerDock is an enterprise-focused, AI-driven analytics platform designed to empower business users.

This approach facilitates faster, data-informed decision-making across the organization.

The platform supports various data sources, including live queries for major data warehouses like Snowflake and Google BigQuery (AnswerDock LiveQuery), as well as uploads from Excel/CSV files and connections to relational databases.
