Deployment Options

Start local. Scale to cloud.

Slateo runs wherever your workflow demands. Start with the desktop app for instant, zero-config security. Move to the cloud when you need background agents, shared caching, and team collaboration.

Desktop

Your data, your machine, your credentials. The fastest path from install to insight.

Agent runs on your machine

The AI agent executes locally. Your queries, your laptop, your network. Nothing leaves your environment unless you want it to.

Your laptop credentials

Authenticate to your data warehouse using existing SSO, browser sessions, or CLI credentials already on your machine. No service accounts to configure.

On-disk cache

Query results cache locally on your filesystem. Data never touches a third-party server. Secure from day one with zero configuration.

Secure by default

No cloud credentials to manage, no network policies to configure. If your laptop can reach the warehouse, Slateo works.

Cloud

Background agents, shared caches, and elastic compute. Everything you need when analytics becomes a team sport.

Background agents

Kick off long-running analyses and close your laptop. Agents run in isolated containers and notify you when results are ready.

Shared result cache

When one person runs a query, the whole team benefits. No redundant warehouse compute for the same report every Monday morning.

Scale beyond your laptop

Large joins, heavy aggregations, multi-step agent workflows. Cloud compute is not limited by your laptop's RAM or CPU.

Centralized connections

One place to configure and secure database credentials with audit trails, rotation policies, and role-based access.

Team collaboration

Share analyses, review each other's work, build on prior results. A shared workspace for your entire data team.

Scheduled intelligence

Recurring reports, anomaly detection, and monitoring that run on a schedule without anyone opening a laptop.

Side by side

Both options connect to the same warehouses and use the same AI. The difference is where compute and cache live.

Better together

Most teams use both. Start exploring on your laptop, then promote analyses to the cloud when they matter to the whole team.

1

Explore locally

Use the desktop app to connect with your existing credentials, run ad-hoc queries, and iterate on analyses. Everything stays on your machine.

2

Promote to cloud

When an analysis is ready for the team, push it to the cloud. Results get cached for everyone, agents run on a schedule, and stakeholders can access reports without asking you to rerun anything.

3

Monitor and iterate

Cloud agents handle recurring runs and alerting. When something needs investigation, pull it back to your desktop for deep exploration with full local context.

Start with desktop. Scale with cloud.

Download the desktop app and start querying in minutes. Add cloud when your team is ready.
