Web app
The Airbyte Agents web app at app.airbyte.ai is the fastest way to use Airbyte Agents without writing code. Describe what you want in natural language, and Airbyte picks the right connectors, makes the necessary tool calls, and replies with an answer grounded in your data.
Use the web app when you want Airbyte itself to be your agent. For Python agents you build yourself, use the SDK. For agents in any other language, use the API. For agents that already speak Model Context Protocol, use the MCP server.
Chats and Automations
The web app has two primary surfaces for working with an Airbyte agent.
- Chats: Interactive conversations with an Airbyte agent. Ask a question, iterate on the answer, and explore your data in natural language. Chats are the fastest way to get a one-off answer or prototype an idea.
- Automations: Agent tasks that run without a person in the loop. Trigger an Automation manually or on a schedule. Use Automations when you need the same work to happen repeatedly and reliably.
Every Chat and Automation runs against the connectors you've authenticated in your workspace. Manage connectors from the Connectors page in the sidebar. For the catalog of available connectors, see Agent connectors.
Set up connectors
Administrators can add connectors from the web app.
- Add a connector: Authenticate data sources so agents in Chats, Automations, and every other interface can use them.
- Context Store: The searchable replica of select entities from your connected data sources that powers grounded answers and large-scale analytics. The Context Store is always on and requires no configuration.
Related administration
Other parts of the web app are covered in Account and administration:
- Profile for account settings.
- Sessions for the run history of every Chat and Automation in your organization.
- Review tool calls for inspecting and approving deferred tool calls.
- Billing for plans, usage, and invoices.
Chats
A Chat is a conversation between you and an Airbyte agent in the web app. You send a prompt, the agent decides which connectors to use and which tool calls to make, and it replies with an answer grounded in your data. Chats are the fastest way to explore data, get a one-off answer, or prototype an idea before turning it into a reusable Automation.
Automations
Automations are currently in Research Preview. Features, interfaces, and behavior may change as the product evolves.
Add a connector
Before an Airbyte agent can read from or write to a data source, someone has to authenticate that source for the workspace. In the web app, that happens on the Connectors page. Adding a connector means picking a workspace, picking a data source, and completing an authentication flow once; after that, every interface you use (Chats, Automations, the SDK, the API, and the MCP server) can use the resulting connector.
