Questions, answered plainly.
How do I start?
Copy the setup prompt at the top of this page into your coding agent. The agent reads dippr.ai/agents.md, installs the dip CLI, connects Dippr’s MCP server and walks you through connecting a source. There is nothing to configure by hand.
Which AI tools work with Dippr?
For Claude Code, Codex and Cursor, sign in with dip login and connect with dip mcp install. Chat apps such as Claude Desktop, claude.ai and ChatGPT connect to Dippr’s MCP server through a custom connector, without running either CLI command. Your team keeps the agent they already use.
Does my team have to change how it builds?
No. People keep building in their agent. Dippr gives that agent your certified metrics and live queries across your sources, and dip app push publishes what they build on a link.
Is Dippr a BI tool?
No. There is no chart builder and no new tool for your team to learn. Dippr is the layer under the apps your team builds with AI: definitions, access rules, live queries and hosting.
Does Dippr copy my data?
No. Dippr queries each source where it lives, at the moment someone asks or opens an app. One question can join Snowflake, Postgres and a spreadsheet without moving anything. On Enterprise, Dippr can run inside your own cloud account.
Which sources can I connect?
Snowflake, BigQuery, Redshift, Postgres, ClickHouse, Google Sheets, Iceberg and DuckDB. Connect each once and every agent and app can query across them.
Where do the metric definitions come from?
From the ones your team already keeps. Hand your agent the doc and it drafts the metrics, the ontology and the questions each metric answers, then proposes them for review. A person on your team certifies them in the console, and from then on agents and apps use that version.
Can an AI agent see data its user can’t?
No. Row filters and column masks are enforced in Dippr’s query engine, so they apply the same way to a person, an agent or an app. An agent works as the person using it, with that person’s rules.
Who can see an app someone shares?
Only people you allow. Viewers sign in, and your rules are applied to each of them, so one app can serve the whole company while everyone sees only their own slice. Every query is on the record.
Who pays?
Only admins: the people who connect sources, set access rules and certify metrics. Building and viewing apps is free on every plan, with no limit on people or apps.
What is a credit?
About one minute of query engine time. Each plan includes a monthly pool, and AI queries and live apps draw from the same pool. Overage is soft, so nothing stops in the middle of a task.
Can Dippr run in our own cloud?
Yes, on the Enterprise plan, with custom audit retention and export. Talk to us and we will set it up with you.
