Start with a question, then build interactive visualizations in your workspace. Filter, drill down, and revisit your answers anytime — no exports, no waiting. ### Natural language to live visualization The best answers come from your organization’s context.

Dives are interactive visualizations you create with natural language, directly on top of your data in MotherDuck. They query live data using MotherDuck’s dual execution feature for snappy data experiences and easy sharing. Check out the [Dive Gallery](/dive-gallery/) to see examples from the community. ### How do I create a Dive? Ask a question to your AI agent (Claude, ChatGPT, etc.) through the MotherDuck MCP Server. Your agent queries the database and assembles a live, interactive Dive you can save to your workspace. ### How do Dives work with the MotherDuck MCP Server? Dives are just one of the [MCP Server](/product/mcp-server/)’s skills, bridging one-off questions with long-lived dashboards. Ask a question to your AI agent, get a result, then save it as a Dive — a live component in your MotherDuck workspace that's always up to date. ### Do Dives replace my business intelligence tool? In many cases, Dives can [fully replace](/blog/replacing-our-bi-tool-with-dives/) your business intelligence tool with highly-interactive charts, tables and dashboards created with AI and reviewed by your domain experts. ### Can I embed Dives in my app? Yes! You can embed Dives directly in your application. Check out the [Embedding Dives documentation](/docs/key-tasks/ai-and-motherduck/dives/embedding-dives/) to get started. ### What is embedded analytics? Embedded analytics puts interactive dashboards and data visualizations directly inside your own application, instead of sending users to a separate BI tool. With MotherDuck, you build a Dive and embed it in your product — so your users get live, interactive analytics without ever leaving your app. Learn [why embedded analytics can skip the caching layer](/learn/skip-the-cache-embedded-analytics/). ### How do I embed a dashboard in my web app? Create a Dive in MotherDuck, then drop it into your web app with an embed snippet — no charting library or custom frontend to build. See the [Embedding Dives documentation](/docs/key-tasks/ai-and-motherduck/dives/embedding-dives/) for setup. ### Is embedded analytics included in MotherDuck pricing? Dives for internal dashboards and business intelligence are included in every plan, including the free tier, with no separate add-on or per-seat fee. You only pay for the compute your queries use. Embedded Dives for your websites and SaaS applications are supported on the Business and Enterprise plans. ## Take a dive into your data Turn one-off questions into interactive answers.
