Company profile
researched Aug 2026Gravity is the developer of Orion, an AI analyst product that connects to a company's existing data stack and produces analysis without requiring an analyst to build and maintain dashboards. Orion answers questions in natural language, runs on a schedule, tracks KPIs, and generates stakeholder-facing outputs including interactive dashboards, slide decks, pinned metrics and written reports. It is positioned to work proactively rather than only on request, surfacing trends, cohorts and opportunities and packaging them as business cases with recommended actions that can be shared with colleagues in team channels.
A central component is Orion's Knowledge Base, which stores metric definitions, targets and playbooks and can be synced in one click from Notion, Confluence or GitHub. Pages can be locked behind an approval flow for edit requests and enabled at project level for fine-grained context control. Orion reads existing business logic such as LookML and dbt models so its figures reconcile with a customer's existing BI reporting, and it explains discrepancies when numbers diverge. A second deployment mode lets companies embed Orion as a white-labeled chat layer inside their own product, giving their end customers self-service analysis grounded in the host company's business logic, with role-based controls and project-scoped access to data and business context.
Business model
Gravity sells Orion to enterprises as a software product, with a sales-led motion (demo booking and contact-sales routes) and an embedded/white-label option in which customers deploy Orion inside their own applications for their end users.
Traction
The website cites company-stated outcomes of a 75% reduction in weekly hours spent on analysis, costs 9.5x lower than consulting firms, and 15 minutes from initial data connection to first insight, and features a named customer reference from DMI Partners' VP of Analytics & Marketing Intelligence.
▸Full profile — market position, technology, go-to-market
Market position
Positions itself in the AI analytics category as an autonomous AI analyst layered on the modern data stack rather than a dashboard-centric BI tool; a customer executive at DMI Partners describes the deployment as pushing the envelope in AI analytics.
Gravity positions Orion against traditional BI tools, which require analysts to build and maintain dashboards and leave executives waiting for answers, and against general-purpose chatbots, which lack codified business logic. Orion instead grounds answers in a company's own definitions and semantic models, produces reports, dashboards and slides in minutes, works proactively on a schedule, and accumulates business context over time.
Technology
Orion connects natively to data warehouses and BI/transformation layers including BigQuery, Snowflake, Databricks, Looker, Postgres, dbt, Fabric Warehouse and Shopify. It ingests business context from GitHub, Confluence and Notion, and delivers output to Slack, Google Chat, Microsoft Teams and email, including CSV attachments. It reads existing semantic logic (LookML, dbt) so results reconcile with established reports, checks its own calculations and shows its work. Orion is also available as a connector for Claude (via MCP) and through Gemini Enterprise in Google Workspace. The platform includes role-based access controls, project-scoped data and context permissions, and a governed Knowledge Base with page locking and edit-approval workflows; the company states SOC 2 Type 2 certification.
