HCLSoftware, the software business division of HCLTech, today announced its intent to acquire Wobby, an early–stage startup providing AI Data Analyst ‘Agents’ for data warehouses, based in Antwerp, Belgium.
HCLSoftware’s Data & AI division (Actian) is seeing increased demand for its metadata management, data catalog and data governance solutions and has demonstrated good growth over the last five years, driven by enterprise data management solutions. Adding Agentic AI Data Analyst capabilities will further enable customers to interact with their raw data and get fast and accurate business insights on demand.
Wobby provides AI Data Analyst ‘Agents’ that enable users to query complex datasets through a natural language interface and receive actionable insights instantly. The solution is powered by a proprietary semantic layer and agentic architecture that interprets business context, automates complex workflows and delivers high-quality analytical output at scale, complementing the knowledge graph capabilities of the Actian Data Intelligence Platform.
“Customers want self-service analytics with AI-driven insights that they can trust,” said Marc Poěer, CEO Actian & Portfolio General Manager of HCLSoftware’s Data & AI division. “With Wobby, Actian provides LLM-powered natural-language analytics on a unified, governed semantic layer, enabling self-service analytics that delivers context-rich, accurate insights and a foundation for scaling GenAI initiatives with confidence.”
“Wobby is reinventing how teams do business intelligence by building AI agents that not only answer questions, but also are evolving toward proactive analytics by sharing automated insights,” said Amra Dorjbayar, CEO and Co-Founder, Wobby. “Combining Wobby’s capabilities with Actian Data Intelligence platform will offer customers a differentiated approach to data management.”
The acquisition is expected to close by February 2026.
