Thanks for your feedback.

If you find something that's not working, we'd be happy to take a look at your dataset and questions and figure out how to make it work.

Just contact us through the chat or send an email at dan at insightbase.ai .

I think that I made the demo too simple. It can handle more complicated use cases and it it's definitely able to answer to most of your questions.

We'd be happy to run those queries for you if you have a sample database and show you that it's possible.

We'll work on a new demo showing more advanced use cases, not just totals and bar charts.

I won't describe how we're doing what we do, but I have to say that we work with a lot of unknown variables, and we have to structure the query and data, clean it, and return it to the user in the right format.

It's a lot of data processing and manipulation.

Hi, please send us a message through the chat or send me an email to dan at insightbase.ai and I'll try to help.

Yes, we'll do the demo soon

we plan to add support for more databases in the future

Thank you, and good luck with your project as well

Thank you, but we do much more than just generate SQL queries
dan_lupashku··on Chat with your database using AI
1. It handles joins pretty well

2. It can make sense sometimes, but you always have the option to specify the table name

Good luck with your project as well!!

is this reply for me?
dan_lupashku··on Chat with your database using AI
Yes, we'll do this
dan_lupashku··on Chat with your database using AI
Yes, totally agree
dan_lupashku··on Chat with your database using AI
Yes, that was what we were thinking about when starting but we didn't want users to abuse our service.

However, I'm sure that we'll find a solution soon enough.

But your comment is just an idea, right?

What we did is to implement the idea and make it a reality.

I thought you're going to show us a product that already exists and does what we do.

It is very flexible actually. It could answer a query like "does metacritic give lower scores to some genres more than others".

It can filter the results based on some flags, values, dates, etc., and show you your results using specific constraints, you just have to ask.

We might have to do a demo where we show more advanced use cases.

1. Yes, we will allow users to use their own OpenAI API keys

2. Privacy is one of our main concerns, we obviously understand that privacy is extremely important when working with data.

3. What exactly do you mean by work with OAuth?

dan_lupashku··on Chat with your database using AI
Is this about Microsoft Copilot? I think you didn't fully understand what our product is about.
dan_lupashku··on Chat with your database using AI
Yes, it is, you're right, maybe we'll add this as a feature as well
dan_lupashku··on Chat with your database using AI
We're not doing this yet, but we're working on finding a solution.

Any ideas/suggestions?

dan_lupashku··on Chat with your database using AI
Thanks for the feedback.

1. Agreed, we're working on this, but for now we just went on the safe side. We don't want people to break things right now and this is why we have tight rules that flag potential dangerous operations.

2. Agreed as well, but you can provide a read-only user, and we store the credentials in an encrypted form. Also, you can whitelist the ips to our ips only.

dan_lupashku··on Chat with your database using AI
Thank you. We will review our privacy policy because we don't actually collect so much data.
dan_lupashku··on Chat with your database using AI
We were thinking about this. We have the query and we might show it to our users, but we're not going to do that at the moment.

However this could be an option and we might add this feature if it would be valuable to our users.

dan_lupashku··on Chat with your database using AI
Yes, we're locking users into analytics because you can easily ask chatgpt to write an SQL query for you and there's no need for us to replicate the same functionality.

Hi, thank you for your comment, I'll try to address all your points, and I believe that we should add more info on our website. Indeed, it's early and we just launched.

1. Yes, it will figure out your database structure and reply without any further guidance from your part, you don't have to do anything else.

2. We have MySQL and PostgreSQL support (we will add this info on our website, thanks for the feedback).

3. We support a few basic graphs like pie, bar, line and area graphs. You can also get numbers as replies (like totals, averages, etc.), or a table view (you can ask to see a specific entry from your database).

4. You can ask anything, and almost always you will get a good reply.

Feel free to create an account and play around (you don't have to connect your database, we have a demo database that you can use).
