Concepts overview

Before diving into features, it helps to understand the handful of objects that everything in Zingle AI is built on. They map closely to how dbt teams already think about their work.

ConceptWhat it is
OrganizationThe tenancy root. Every user, repo, and connection belongs to exactly one org.
User & rolePeople in an org. Roles gate what they can do (admin vs analyst).
RepositoryA registered dbt GitHub repo Zingle AI can read and open PRs against.
EnvironmentA named binding of a repository to a warehouse compute target.
Connection & targetA warehouse (Snowflake) connection and the compute targets within it.
dbt model & semantic layerThe synced catalog of models, columns, lineage, and semantic definitions.
AgentAn LLM-driven worker (Build, SQL, Refactor, Optimize, or custom) with a prompt, tools, and skills.

Each concept has its own page in this section. Start with Organizations & roles.
