# Agnes — AI Data Analyst

Agnes is an open-source data distribution platform for AI analytical systems. It extracts data from configured sources into DuckDB, serves it via a FastAPI backend, and distributes Parquet files to analysts who query them locally using Claude Code and DuckDB.

Each data source produces a self-describing `extract.duckdb` file. The `SyncOrchestrator` attaches all extract databases into a master `analytics.duckdb`, making every table available through a unified view layer without copying data unnecessarily.

## Architecture: extract.duckdb Contract

Every connector produces the same output structure:

```
/data/extracts/{source_name}/
├── extract.duckdb          ← _meta table + views
└── data/                   ← parquet files (local sources only)
```

The orchestrator scans `/data/extracts/*/extract.duckdb`, attaches each into `analytics.duckdb`, and creates master views.

## Supported Data Sources

| Source | Mode | Description |
|--------|------|-------------|
| **Keboola** | Batch pull | DuckDB Keboola extension downloads tables to Parquet on a schedule |
| **BigQuery** | Remote attach | DuckDB BQ extension; queries execute in BigQuery, no local download |
| **Jira** | Real-time push | Webhook receiver updates Parquet files incrementally |

Adding a new source means creating `connectors/<name>/extractor.py` that produces `extract.duckdb` with a `_meta` table (`table_name`, `description`, `rows`, `size_bytes`, `extracted_at`, `query_mode`). The orchestrator attaches it automatically.

## Quick Start with Docker

```bash
# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/keboola/agnes-the-ai-analyst.git
cd agnes-the-ai-analyst

# Copy and edit configuration
cp config/instance.yaml.example config/instance.yaml
cp config/.env.template .env
# Edit both files for your environment

# Start the app and scheduler
docker compose up

# Start with all optional services (Telegram bot, etc.)
docker compose --profile full up
```

Once running, the FastAPI app is available at `http://localhost:8000`. Trigger a manual sync:

```bash
curl -X POST http://localhost:8000/api/sync/trigger
```

## Development Setup

```bash
# Create and activate virtual environment
python3 -m venv .venv && source .venv/bin/activate

# Install dependencies
uv pip install ".[dev]"

# Run FastAPI locally with hot reload
uvicorn app.main:app --reload

# Run the test suite
pytest tests/ -v
```

## Configuration

| File | Purpose |
|------|---------|
| `config/instance.yaml` | Instance-specific settings: branding, data source type, auth provider, Google domain |
| `.env` | Secrets and environment variables — never committed |
| `system.duckdb` `table_registry` table | Table definitions managed via `POST /api/admin/tables/{id}` or the web UI |

Copy the example to get started:

```bash
cp config/instance.yaml.example config/instance.yaml
```

See `config/instance.yaml.example` for all available options.
