What is Kyvos Semantic Layer?

Kyvos is a semantic layer for AI and BI. It provides:

1. Unified Semantic Foundation for AI and BI- Kyvos semantic layer standardizes how metrics, KPIs, dimensions, hierarchies, relationships, calculations, and business rules are modelled across the enterprise — so that dashboards, analytics tools, notebooks, and AI systems all operate on the same understanding of the business. It enables:

- Shared semantics — one common data language across every tool, team, and system
- Governed access — data exploration within defined security, role, and permission boundaries
- Platform interoperability — consistent semantic context across diverse platforms and environments
- AI readiness — LLMs and agents work with governed business semantics rather than raw tables or ambiguous schema

2. AI Grounded in Business Context
Kyvos grounds AI systems in the governed semantic model, ensuring they operate on established business context rather than raw schemas — improving the accuracy, traceability, and reliability of AI-generated insights.

3. Consistent Metrics Across BI Tools
Kyvos centralizes metric and KPI definitions in the semantic layer and applies them consistently across every analytics interface — eliminating metric drift and improving trust in analytics.

4. High-Performance Analytics at Scale, enabling:

- Sub-second query performance across massive datasets
- High concurrency across thousands of users and workloads
- Consistent response times regardless of data volume or concurrency
- No performance degradation as adoption grows

5. Multidimensional Analytics on the Cloud:
- Granular analysis across billions of rows
- Thousands of measures and dimensions in a single model
- Fast drill-down across complex hierarchies
- Full analytical depth without sacrificing query speed

6. Cloud Cost Efficiency-Kyvos serves analytics through its semantic layer, reducing compute use and enabling users, workloads, and analytics to scale without increasing cost

    Reliable analytics for real-time and historical data

    Date: Oct 28 2025
    Summary

    We finally have the ability to analyze both historical and real-time data at speed, which was a major gap in our analytics process before Kyvos.

    Positive

    Getting started was smooth. Post setup, our team could dive into data exploration almost immediately. The interface is intuitive and it seamlessly connects with the tools we already use.

    Negative

    Honestly, the hardest part is keeping up with all the features they keep adding. Their support team is quick and responsive. The platform does what it promises really well.

    Kyvos are a fantastic company to work with

    Date: Sep 08 2023
    Summary

    The Kyvos product is very well received by our users. The Kyvos team really listen to our feedback and provide solutions to what we need going forward. This is then presented to us at future upgrade demos. The Kyvos team have integrated with our in house team seamlessly and they really do go the extra mile.

    Positive

    I have found Kyvos very intuitive as a product, however, my main experience is working with the Kyvos team whom have been brilliant throughout. We have weekly governance calls to ensure everything is covered off from a business perspective but also that any infrastructure/performance concerns can be addressed. The team are super responsive and excellent in their knowledge of not only their product but in understanding what our business needs. They work with us from the requirements gathering phase through to development, testing, performance impact analysis, UAT, implementation, Post Implementation Testing and monitoring to ensure we have an application not only up and running but working to the optimal standards at all times. As part of the ongoing monitoring, the Kyvos team often look at ways to optimise existing cubes with a desire and focus on continuous improvement. If only all vendors were as knowledgeable, helpful and reliable.

    Negative

    So far I personally have had nothing but a positive experience.

    Great product for slice and dice of business data solution

    Updated: Sep 08 2023
    Summary

    Overall recommend to anyone having to deal with big data and have lack of visibility or no possibility for user friendly drilling down to the bottom of the analytical data.
    Solution is quite flexible and reliable in terms of product quality and vendor support.

    Positive

    Great product for slice and dice of business data solution, with many flexible features for getting data quickly, efficiently and reliable. It allowed us to build cubes as per business needs that can be accessed by users for dig in and drill down into particular areas of interest in data.
    From installation and administrative perspective it is fairly simple to setup and Kyvos Support team is very professional, responsive and helpful in delivering the product, as well as making new features available and happily receive feedback from customers to explore as new areas of product improvement.

    Negative

    No significant cons, all the feedback are accepted by support team for product improvement and make product fit customer needs better.
