Daita

An autonomous data operations agent that learns your data systems.

Data systems are more than tables. Daita maps their structure, learns the business meaning you approve, and turns individual investigations into durable jobs and recurring checks. It answers from current evidence and carries out admitted actions. The goal is fully autonomous data operations within the access, budgets, and actions you authorize.

What Daita can do

• Understand your data. Explore SQLite and PostgreSQL catalogs, follow relationships between resources, and run durable data profiles without changing source data.
• Answer across systems. Query admitted databases, local CSV, TSV, JSON, NDJSON, and Parquet files, and remote MCP tools using current source evidence.
• Carry work forward. Run durable task graphs or set assignments to run once or regularly. Review their results in the inbox while a Daita host is open.
• Improve with use. Keep conversations, approved business knowledge, meanings tied to specific sources, and reusable Markdown procedures. An optional, explicit review can propose lessons from completed runs for you to accept.
• Deliver useful output. Create reports backed by evidence and CSV or XLSX exports, including exact relational snapshots.
• Take controlled action. Preview and approve scoped PostgreSQL updates or upserts, and admit specific remote MCP actions. Durable receipts support inspection and recovery when an outcome is uncertain.

Daita works with OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, Grok, Ollama, endpoints compatible with OpenAI's API, and supported model subscriptions.

Quick start

On supported macOS and Linux systems, install Daita with:

curl -fsSL https://daita-tech.io/install.sh | bash

The installer supplies its own Python runtime and starts onboarding when run in a terminal. Run daita in a new terminal to return later.

The first launch guides you through creating an agent, configuring a model, and optionally attaching a data source for reading. The launch directory becomes the default local working directory; foreground Files tools also accept explicit local paths.

Try asking:

How do our customers, orders, and payments tables relate?
Profile the orders and payments tables without changing them.
Compare paid revenue by region across our admitted sources.
Every Monday, summarize last week's revenue and put the result in my inbox.

Use /learn <material> to teach Daita a business definition or procedure with approval. /jobs shows durable work, /routines manages saved assignments, and /inbox shows their results. /artifacts previews, saves, and deletes stored files. /sources explores connections and relationships; @ narrows a question to one source. Type /help for the full command list.

Scheduled work progresses only while the terminal or daita host --agent <name> keeps that agent open. One host can open an agent home at a time.

Authority stays explicit

Database connections start with read access only. Daita validates SQL against the current catalog, checks tool calls against current scope and permissions, and treats source content, remote output, memory, and skills as untrusted input. Saved knowledge helps interpret data; it cannot grant access or override current source facts.

External effects require exact permissions and approval or a bounded standing grant. Native writes use a preview from the current run and transactional checks. Daita records effect receipts and never silently retries an uncertain action.

See relational writes, remote MCP connectivity, and action receipts and recovery for the exact limits.

Guides

Upgrade or uninstall

Close any running Daita terminal or host first. Run the Quick start command again to upgrade a managed installation. To remove it, run:

curl -fsSL https://daita-tech.io/install.sh | bash -s -- --uninstall

Agent state under ~/.daita is separate from the installation. Existing pipx installations still use pipx for upgrades and removal. Daita 0.19.0 and earlier belong to a different framework family and cannot be migrated into 1.x; preserve that state before upgrading. See local state compatibility.
