Thanks for catching the point on AI-native access. Previously, operating a Qbeast-backed lakehouse required terminal commands; we've now added MCP connectivity to enable agentic coding tools, see the linked post for details and screenshots. Query optimization comes via Qbeast's indexing and auto-optimize features. Semantic layers aren't on our radar yet, but we're open to adding them to the roadmap. Keep in mind we're an early-stage startup, so we're just getting going.
