Dagster is a next-generation open source orchestration platform for the development, production, and observation of data assets.

Compass is a Slack-native data assistance tool by Dagster Labs that connects directly to your data warehouse (like Snowflake, BigQuery, Redshift, Postgres) and allows users to ask questions in natural language—with answers delivered as summaries or visualizations inside Slack. Compass also provides enriched company and contact-information datasets (tens of millions of companies, hundreds of millions of people) accessible via Slack. Users ask natural-language queries (e.g., “Show me AI startups hiring in the Bay Area”) and get back curated lists with summaries and growth signals, aimed at sales, recruiting, and investment sourcing teams.
