# What is Wayak?

> The agentic data and automation platform

Wayak is an agentic data and automation platform. Connect all your company's data, talk to it in plain language, and automate the work that keeps your teams busy.

## How it works

<Steps>
  <Step title="Connect your data" icon="plug">
    Bring in everything — databases, APIs, spreadsheets, PDFs, internal docs. Wayak connects to your data wherever it lives. Upload a CSV or plug in a data warehouse — it all works the same way.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Teach it your language" icon="brain">
    Define your business metrics, terminology, and relationships in the ontology. The agent learns what "revenue" means, how to calculate churn, and which tables to join — so it answers with the same precision as your best analyst.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Chat with your data" icon="message-bot">
    Ask questions in plain language and get answers from your actual data. No SQL. No tickets. No waiting for the data team. Just ask.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Automate forever" icon="clock">
    Build playbooks that generate reports, send alerts, and run workflows on a schedule — so the work gets done without anyone having to ask.
  </Step>
</Steps>

    Connect every data source your organization uses — databases, APIs, file uploads, and unstructured documents — into one platform. No more switching between tools to get a complete picture.

  </div>

  <div>
    ### Business-grade accuracy

    The ontology encodes your business logic so the agent computes metrics, joins tables, and interprets terminology correctly — every time. No hallucinated numbers.
