The missing piece
Give Claude the data behind your business.
Loam stores supported files and connected business data in one place your authorized AI can query. Each allowed request uses the Loam account's current access, and grounding turns a plausible answer into a calculation from the real rows.
Without your data
“What was Q3 revenue?”
$4.2M
A plausible guess. There are no source rows to check, so you cannot tell where it came from.
Grounded in Loam
“What was Q3 revenue?”
$3.87M
Calculated from 1,204 orders. You can inspect the rows behind the answer.

Real questions, real rows
Ask the questions you already care about.
Loam gives people across your business a direct path to the numbers, without changing the AI tools they like to use.
Head of sales
“How much pipeline is at risk this month?”
Ground the answer in your latest CRM export, then check the accounts and stages behind it.
Founder
“Which products drove revenue growth?”
Compare the real sales rows by product and period instead of working from a pasted snapshot.
Marketing lead
“Which campaigns brought in customers?”
Bring campaign and sales exports together, then inspect the rows behind the result.
Easy for your team. Clear for your security review.
Choose the Loam account that authorizes Claude. Loam checks every allowed query against that account's current access.
Connected-account access
Every query uses the access of the Loam account that authorizes the connection.
Access on every query
Table-data access is checked when the request runs, not only when the account connects.
Inspect the result
In Loam chat, you can review the returned rows before you use an answer.
Add more when ready
Begin with one file and one AI tool. You choose when to connect more.
Frequently asked questions
What does database for Claude mean?
Loam gives Claude permission-aware access to the structured business data you add or connect. Claude can run allowed queries against real rows instead of relying on pasted snapshots or guesses.
How do I install Loam in Claude?
Follow the Claude installation guide to add Loam as a custom connector, then complete OAuth and choose the eligible Loam account the connection will use.
Why does my AI make up numbers?
Claude can write a convincing answer without having your latest business data. Loam grounds allowed queries in the real rows available to the authorizing account, so the result can be calculated from your numbers instead of filled in from a guess.
Do I need to be technical to set up Loam?
No. Upload the CSVs, Excel workbooks, Parquet, TSV, or JSON files you already have. Anyone on your team can add a file and start with one business question.
Can I use the AI tools I already have?
Yes. You can connect Loam to Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, or your own supported tools. The connected AI can use only the business data and actions available to the Loam account you authorize.
What can a connected AI access?
A connected AI uses the authorized Loam account's access and may run allowed queries or changes without showing them first. Use an account limited to the data and actions your AI needs. Table names and column details are currently visible across the organization.
Give Claude a database built from your business data.
Add your first supported file, authorize the Loam account your AI should use, and ground the next answer in your real rows.
