1. 01Connect your sources.Plug in your warehouse, or your CRM and SaaS tools directly. Rig handles the ingestion. No pipeline to babysit.
2. 02Rig generates the context.Tables, joins, metrics, PII: auto-built from your schema and the queries that run against it. Stays current as data drifts.
3. 03Define access.Role-based controls for people AND agents. Decide who can see what, mask PII and financial fields, preview as any role before you ship.
4. 04Build & host internal apps.Ship dashboards, automations and agent workflows your team uses every day. Hosted on Rig, on your data, with audit baked in.
5. 05Use your data inside Claude, Cursor, ChatGPT.MCP and API expose the governed context layer to every AI tool your team already uses. Per-user permissions, full audit trail.

Walkthrough

## Watch it set up, end to end.

- Ingestion from your SaaS tools and databases. No pipelines to babysit.
- A managed warehouse that you don't have to run.
- A context layer built automatically from your data. No dbt project to fill in.
- Automations across your stack. Alerts, reports, CRM updates, on a schedule or on a trigger.
- Internal apps and dashboards your team can build without engineering.
- MCP-ready so Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and Codex can use your data straight away.

## What changes when you skip the stack.

Without Rig

- Hire a data engineer, an analyst, and/or consultancy
- Wire up Fivetran, Snowflake, dbt, Hightouch, Retool, and Looker
- Hours of plumbing and debugging pipelines to get it working
- Your AI tools don't understand how your data is structured

With Rig

- Connect your tools. We manage the pipes and storage.
- First useful output in a day, not a quarter
- Rig auto-builds the context so Claude and ChatGPT understand your data
- No manual skill files, html sharing, or wrangling 12 MCPs

## A team that shipped on Rig.

"Every team has a Rig agent now. Ops, support, fraud, marketing. We stopped being the bottleneck."
