description: 'Lightdash is an open-source business intelligence platform built on top of dbt that connects directly to the
  semantic layer defined in dbt projects. It provides a REST API covering core data operations including catalog management,
  chart and dashboard CRUD, SQL runner queries, scheduling and automated deliveries, user and access control, AI agent threads,
  and integrations with GitHub, GitLab, Slack, and Google Sheets. Authentication uses Personal Access Tokens passed via the
  Authorization header. Lightdash is available as a managed cloud service or self-hosted, with pricing based on cloud-hosted
  plans or free open-source self-hosting.
