Motley provides an open‑source semantic layer, SLayer, that unifies metric definitions across a data warehouse and makes them accessible to AI agents. Through its plugin and API, the platform lets users generate auditable, version‑controlled reports in markdown, PPTX or HTML, enabling data and product teams to embed reliable AI‑driven analytics without building custom infrastructure.

Problem
Organizations generate reports manually for each cycle, leading to one‑off documents that are difficult to audit, repeat, or scale, and building in‑product reporting requires a dedicated data platform team.
Solution
Motley provides a governed semantic layer—SLayer—that abstracts raw warehouse schemas into a single, versioned definition of every metric. AI agents query this layer to retrieve data, automatically generate structured markdown reports, and render them as PPTX or HTML presentations via the Motley Plugin or API. Because the reports are version‑controlled and diffable, they are auditable and reproducible. The platform exposes the semantic layer through MCP, REST, Python, and CLI, enabling both data/engineering teams and product teams to embed reliable AI‑driven reporting without building a custom data infrastructure.
Target Audience
Primary customers are data and engineering teams that need a unified semantic layer, and product teams that want to embed AI‑generated reporting into their applications without staffing a dedicated data platform group.
