ClickHouse acquires LibreChat: Introducing the open-source Agentic Data Stack

Together, ClickHouse and LibreChat form the foundation of the open-source Agentic Data Stack, empowering teams to deploy AI agents that analyze and act on large datasets through natural language. This shift to agentic analytics is already transforming how organizations such as Shopify, Daimler Truck, Fetch, and cBioPortal leverage their data, demonstrating the immediate value in real-world applications.

At Shopify, LibreChat has become central to internal AI workflows. “LibreChat powers reflexive AI use across Shopify. With near universal adoption and thousands of custom agents, teams use it to solve real problems, increase productivity, and keep the quality bar high. By connecting more than 30 internal MCP servers, it democratizes access to critical information across the company,” said Matt Burnett, Senior Engineer at Shopify.

In healthcare, cBioPortal uses the combined ClickHouse and LibreChat Agentic Data Stack to unlock new research capabilities. "By leveraging the ClickHouse, MCP, and LibreChat stack, we rapidly delivered a prototype to cBioPortal users that empowered them to ask entirely new questions about cancer genomics and treatment trajectories, get quick answers, and explore data in ways not possible through the existing UI," said Ino de Bruijn, Manager Bioinformatics Software Engineering at cBioPortal. "It puts discovery at cancer researchers' fingertips."

This LibreChat acquisition comes as enterprises rapidly adopt agentic analytics to democratize data access and accelerate time-to-insight. Fetch, a leading mobile rewards platform, built its FAST AI-powered analytics product on ClickHouse to transform household purchase behavior into actionable business intelligence. "We see agentic analytics as the future of data interaction, enabling more intuitive, dynamic, and impactful use of information," said Sam Corzine, Director of Machine Learning at Fetch. "With its unmatched speed and scalability, ClickHouse is well-positioned to power this new generation of agentic experiences, and we're thrilled to grow our partnership together."

ClickHouse leverages agentic analytics internally with LibreChat-and-ClickHouse-powered DWAINE (Data Warehouse AI Natural Expert), an agent that now handles approximately 70% of data warehouse queries for over 200 users, processing 33 million LLM tokens daily as of October 2025—up from 15 million just months after launch.

"What impressed me most is LibreChat's vibrant community that continuously innovates," said Dmitry Pavlov, Director of Engineering at ClickHouse. "The synergy between ClickHouse Cloud's blazing-fast query performance and LibreChat's flexible, multi-LLM architecture is unlocking a new generation of data analysis agents - real-time, secure, powerful, and accessible."

For existing LibreChat deployments, operations continue unchanged with ongoing investment in the open-source project and community. ClickHouse users will gain access to enhanced integration capabilities, including native LibreChat experience alongside ClickHouse Cloud instances, extended data visualization support, enterprise-grade security and governance, and a tailored semantic layer. These investments will ensure that the Agentic Data Stack is fully enterprise-ready, meeting the requirements of the world's most demanding organizations.

“Every breakthrough in data technology has been about reducing the distance between questions and answers. By joining forces with LibreChat, we’re tackling this distance. Now, any user can talk directly to petabytes of data and get instant, actionable insights,” said Aaron Katz, CEO of ClickHouse. “As AI agents proliferate across every industry, the companies that win will be those that can seamlessly connect human intelligence with machine-scale data processing. The future of analytics isn’t just dashboards, it’s intelligent agents that interpret data, trigger workflows, and power real-time decisions. The ClickHouse Agentic Data Stack makes that future available today.”
