Calliope
A company-brain appliance: a BI SWAT team with memory, the same brain in chat, desktop and agents. Built on RVBBIT and DataRabbit.
Started as user-space RVBBIT "AI workers" (voices, personalities, super prompts). Landed as a governed assistant substrate over a client's data, defs, docs, dashboards, and its own work history. People who would never open Tableau started publishing just-in-time dashboards. The Aug 2026 blog is the first time the gap has a punchline in prose.
Timeline
- AI workers, user-space Voices, personalities, super prompts. Craft your own data expert. "Calliope, fill up the canvas with something nice."
- The first time BI felt intelligent Calliope, in prod at a client, synthesized weeks of questions into a project plan nobody asked for. People who don't write SQL publishing just-in-time dashboards. This is the gap's punchline.
- Hermes as a BI SWAT team NousResearch Hermes, front-end for rvbbit.ai, named Calliope. Can even pilot the data desktop.
