AI data analyst that turns plain-English questions into charts, dashboards and clean spreadsheets
Ask questions in plain English about an uploaded file or connected source and get a written analysis with charts, plus the SQL or Python behind every answer.
The original toolset still stands on its own: describe a task and get a working Excel or Google Sheets formula, SQL query, regex, Apps Script or VBA snippet.
Turn an answer into a shareable dashboard with filters, date ranges and cross-chart interaction, or into a deck with titles, charts and speaker notes.
Save an analysis to rerun on fresh data and post to Slack or email, and set metric alerts that preview their historical firing frequency before you save them.
