Context
OSNO-VA is KT.Team's proprietary AI product: management accounting and AI-powered accounting with a BI layer built on Apache Superset. Dashboards answer 'what's happening', but there must be a layer that executes action.
Self-hosted BI faces a classic gap: connectors to data sources, auto-posting of source documents, triggers and notifications require a dedicated platform and automation team. KT.Team closed this gap inside the product.
Challenge
We needed to close the gap between observing in a dashboard and taking action, without requiring users to assemble a separate integration team or switch to another tool.
- Users must transition seamlessly from dashboards to integrations, staying within the product.
- Automation must be deterministic and auditable, not unpredictable.
- The integration layer must be part of the product, not a one-off project for each customer.

Solution
We embedded a deterministic automation layer directly beneath the BI system so data and the actions it triggers live in a single product.
- n8n is embedded under OSNO-VA's hood: from Apache Superset dashboards, users transition to integration workflows without switching tools.
- Division of roles: the AI agent decides what needs to be done; n8n executes how, following a reproducible visual workflow.
- Deterministic system: where repeatability matters, n8n executes actions by rules, not free-form generation.
- Automation workflows—connectors to data sources, auto-posting of source documents, triggers and notifications—sit on top of the management system.
Results
Management analytics and the actions it triggers became one integrated system.
- Users don't assemble a separate integration team: automation is built into the product.
- Action lives next to data—from dashboard to integration without tool switching.
- The system remains auditable: the agent decides, n8n executes a deterministic workflow.
Summary
The automation layer is what makes self-hosted BI expensive to operate. KT.Team packaged it into a product: OSNO-VA connects Apache Superset dashboards and embedded n8n, so management analytics and the actions it triggers are one system, not two separate projects.
