How to use Helix Foundry: what you can do with it

What is Helix Foundry? Helix Foundry connects your company's data (PostgreSQL, MySQL, S3, Stripe, PostHog, GitHub, Linear and more, plus documents and table files), lets an agent draft an ontology over it, and loads it into HelixDB as one connected graph. You explore it as a graph or records, trace every value back to its row or quote, and ask questions with cited answers. It runs hosted or locally with Docker Compose.

How do I use it? Run git clone https://github.com/helixdb/helix-foundry.git and cd helix-foundry; then start it with docker compose up -d --wait (export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY or OPENAI_API_KEY first if you want Claude or OpenAI); open http://localhost:3000; there is no sign-in. Full steps below.
