AI working on your data should not be a black box.
From day one, thaink² has built its Data Agents around a simple belief: when AI works with a company’s data, teams should be able to understand how it works, inspect its architecture, and retain control of their environment.
ApowerB is the technical core of that belief, made public.
It is the agent runtime powering our Data ecosystem, including our Data Analyst, BI, Predictive, and Knowledge Agents. Released under Apache 2.0, it can be audited, self-hosted, extended, and used to build your own agents.
Built for production. Not for demos.
ApowerB goes beyond a thin abstraction around an LLM. It provides the runtime environment required to build, expose, and execute agentic systems within a real-world architecture.

Dynamically materialize your agents.
Your agent definitions are stored in the database and generated as executable Python modules at startup. You can evolve your agent catalog without rebuilding your entire architecture.
Agent definitions persisted in the database
Python modules generated automatically
Evolve without a full application rebuild
One runtime. Your choice of models.
LiteLLM provides a unified layer for connecting different model providers and compatible endpoints. Evolve your stack without rewriting your agents’ logic.
Multi-LLM through LiteLLM
Local models and custom endpoints
Switch providers without rewriting your agents
The essential capabilities are already built in.
RAG, Text-to-SQL, custom tools, integrations, webhooks, scheduled executions, and artifact generation: the building blocks required to turn an agent into a real system are built into the runtime.

Open source where it matters. Commercial where enterprise needs it.
No artificially limited open-source features designed to push you toward a higher plan. The agent runtime, agent materialization, multi-model connectivity, and core capabilities are available in the open-source core under Apache 2.0. Enterprise-specific operational capabilities and thaink² features are distributed separately as extensions.

Your infrastructure. Your models. Your data.
Deploy ApowerB in your own environment and retain control over where your agents run and where your data lives. The official deployment stack supports Docker Compose, Kubernetes, Helm, and VM deployments. The self-hosted Docker Compose setup starts PostgreSQL, the ApowerB backend, and ApowerB UI.

Does aPowerB require a specific database?
Yes. aPowerB uses PostgreSQL. The official self-hosted Docker Compose stack includes a PostgreSQL service alongside the backend and UI.
Can I use my own LLM or a local model?
Yes. aPowerB uses LiteLLM as its multi-model connectivity layer, allowing you to work with different providers and endpoints without coupling your agents’ logic to a single model. The core documentation covers multi-provider compatibility through LiteLLM.
What is the difference between aPowerB and thaink²?
aPowerB is the open-source agent runtime that powers the thaink² ecosystem. You can use it to build and operate your own agents. thaink² adds ready-to-use Data Agents, along with Enterprise capabilities and services distributed separately.
Under which license is aPowerB distributed?
The aPowerB core is distributed under the Apache 2.0 license. The license allows the software to be used, modified, and redistributed, subject to its terms.
