Auto-onboarding Agent

The Auto-onboarding Agent reads your connected sources and drafts the model: events, dimensions, measures, KPIs, and cohorts, with coverage gaps flagged. Your team reviews and approves every draft before any business user relies on it.

Human-in-the-loop

What you get: a governed KPI tree. Every KPI carries a definition, a formula, and lineage your team approved, reused across every answer the business gets.

Review the first pass before it becomes trusted

Connect operational signal data once. The Auto-onboarding Agent drafts the model, your team approves it, and every answer the business gets inherits that trust.

What you're getting

A governed data model and KPI tree the whole business inherits.

What you provide

Read access to the sources that drive your KPIs, plus your context docs.

What Bicycle drafts

Inspects the sources and proposes events, dimensions, KPIs, cohorts, context, and starter patterns.

What you review and manage

Definitions, formulas, dimensions, cohorts, and lineage before anything reaches business views, then over time.

Supported sources
Security & data handling

Customer-approved sources only. AES-256 at rest, TLS in transit. SaaS on GCP (US) with tenant isolation, or BYOC where raw data stays in your cloud.

What "done" looks like

Every business-facing KPI carries a definition, a formula, and lineage you approved.

What happens if…

A source changes or a definition needs an edit? Update once; downstream trust holds.

Governance

Nothing reaches business users until a modeler or admin signs off. Every change is logged.

In practiceConnect the sources that drive your KPIs and approve the model once, before the business relies on it.

Pillar 02 · Tune

Tune the intelligence layer

Detection scattered across dashboards, SQL alerts, and analyst habit misses the one segment that matters. Tune what Bicycle watches, how it explains a move, and the safe next step, once, in one layer.

Pattern Agent + Triage Agent

The Pattern Agent watches your governed KPIs per segment and surfaces what changed. The Triage Agent ranks the likely causes with evidence and drafts the recommended action. Your team approves what they watch, explain, and do, before the business sees it.

Human-in-the-loop
app.bicycle.ai overviewpreview

Bicycle watches every governed KPI per segment, not just the blended number, so a single-segment drift surfaces before the average moves.

Tune what Bicycle watches, explains, and acts on

Detection, cause, and the recommended action live in one layer on your governed model. Tune them once, approve what the business can use, and every answer it gets inherits what you set.

You decide
  • What Bicycle watches, how it explains a move, and what action is safe
  • Approve patterns, reasoning, and actions before the business sees them

Add drivers and cause connectors
Bring evidence that lives outside the BI model: logs, deployments, tickets, incidents. Map each driver to a connector and a specific cause, then approve what can appear in business-facing explanations.

STEP 04
Set up the recommended actions

What you're getting

Detection per segment, ranked causes with evidence, and a drafted next step.

What you provide

The drivers, the evidence connectors (logs, deployments, tickets), and sign-off.

What the agent does

Runs detection on the live model and ranks likely causes across both wheels.

What you review

The driver tree, evidence, and confidence; accept, reject, annotate, or rerun.

Supported sources

The governed model plus logs, deployments, tickets, and external signals.

Security & data handling

Raw data is never sent to the AI model. AI drafts structured query artifacts evaluated inside the secure runtime, and Bicycle does not train models on your data. OpenAI runs with Zero Data Retention.

What "done" looks like

Published patterns detect per segment and explain with the evidence you approved.

What happens if…

A cause is wrong or missing? Add a driver, rerun, and republish; the change is logged.

Governance

Modeler or admin publishes patterns and approves which explanations and actions the business can use.

In practiceSet what Bicycle watches and how it explains a move, then replay the past window before you publish.

Govern self service and safe actions

Self-service breaks two ways: lock it down and nobody moves, open it up and the definitions rot. Govern roles, agent-level access, and what the business can change, in one plane.

You govern: who can see, ask, publish, and actC5Defensible answersC6Governed self service and actions

Your Data & Analytics team

Governance stays human. Your team sets roles, permissions, action scope, approvals. No automation runs without your explicit consent.

Human only

One plane, three controls: who holds which permission, what each agent exposes, and which changes a business user can make on their own.

Security & data handling

Access is controlled through RBAC, tenant-aware permissions, approvals for risky changes, and audit trails. SSO is live and configurable.

What "done" looks like

The business self-serves on governed assets; your team keeps definitions and actions.

What happens if…

Someone asks beyond their scope? It routes for review; every decision is logged.

What your team walks away with

You connected the data once, tuned how Bicycle detects and explains change, and set the guardrails. Here is what that returns to your team.

01
Analyst velocity
Less time on data prep, definitions, and recurring KPI firefighting. More time on the answers that move the business. The onboarding agent, the patterns, and the cause analysis carry the repeatable work.
02
Trusted, high-quality decisions with lower risk
One source of truth across teams and tools. Governed definitions, lineage and decision memory mean outputs everyone can act on, without trading speed for safety.

Launch your first agent.

Connect a source, apply the vertical pack, and review your first governed agent with the cause and the definitions attached. In days, not quarters.
