Delphi works with the data you already have. There’s nothing to rebuild, no warehouse to migrate, and no schema to agree on up front — point Delphi at your existing systems and it starts reasoning over them within minutes. Every source flows through the same classification and governance layer, so residency, role-based access, and audit trails are in place before the first insight lands.
There are four ways to get data into a command center, and most dashboards use all of them.
Streaming connectors
Connectors are the backbone. They pull live data from the productivity, CRM, and HR systems your team already runs on — Google Workspace, Slack, Salesforce, BambooHR, Workday, Asana, and Linear are the shipped enterprise integrations today, alongside dozens of public-data sources for weather, climate, finance, and government. Once connected, a connector keeps pulling, so your KPIs, alerts, and agents always reflect the current state of the business.
Use a connector any time you want Delphi to watch a system of record on a recurring basis. Credentials are encrypted at rest and scoped to the minimum permissions each integration needs.
The connector catalog is grouped into eight categories. Each one has its own landing page with the full list of supported sources:
- Enterprise SaaS — Google Workspace, Slack, Salesforce, Workday, BambooHR, Asana, Linear. The workplace tools your teams already use, with OAuth2 auth and per-dashboard scoping.
- Databases & Warehouses — Read directly from production databases and analytical warehouses with read-only credentials and classification-aware access.
- Cloud & Infrastructure — Operational signal from the cloud platforms that run your business — cost, utilization, security posture, and service health.
- Streaming & Messaging — Kafka, MQTT, WebSockets, and HTTP. The real-time fabric that feeds live dashboards and alerting.
- Financial Markets — Equity, fixed income, and macroeconomic time series for grounding decisions in audit-logged sources.
- Earth & Climate — Weather, oceans, biodiversity, forests, and seismology. Delphi was built in a climate war room; these sources are its native language.
- Government & Public Data — Authoritative open data from US federal agencies, the WHO, the WFP, and Wikipedia, ready to ground dashboards in citable sources.
- Maritime — Live AIS vessel tracking and port intelligence for supply-chain and regulatory monitoring.

Document data sources
Not everything lives in a database. Strategy memos, board decks, policies, field reports, contracts, and spreadsheets often carry the context that makes numbers meaningful. Delphi treats documents as first-class data sources — upload a file or promote one from Google Drive, and it becomes searchable alongside your structured data.
Every document is scanned for sensitive information, indexed for semantic search, and tagged with an authority level (canonical, reference, field report, or unverified) so the agent knows how much weight to give it. Ask a question like “what does our incident response policy say about third-party breaches?” and Delphi retrieves the relevant passages automatically.

KPIs
KPIs are the metrics that matter most — revenue, churn, NPS, MTTR, headcount, pipeline coverage, whatever your team measures success by. In Delphi, a KPI isn’t just a number on a card. It carries its own lineage, version history, and computation audit trail, so anyone looking at the figure can trace exactly where it came from and when it last changed.
Define KPIs once and they become available to every agent, alert, and report across the dashboard. They’re the right tool for anything you want to track deliberately over time.

On-demand queries
Sometimes you just need an answer, not a pipeline. Ask Delphi for weather data, market prices, a web search, a public dataset, or a one-off query against a connected warehouse, and the agent fetches it directly in the conversation. Nothing gets stored as a persistent data source unless you ask it to — on-demand queries are perfect for exploration, ad-hoc research, and answering questions that don’t need to become dashboards.
These queries happen naturally through conversation. See Working with chat to learn how to ask for data on the fly, and how to promote a useful result into a permanent source when you want to keep it.
