seandoh··on Show HN: Olli – Build data apps with AI commands
Hello HN! I’m Sean, one of the makers of Olli. We’re looking forward to getting the HN community’s thoughts on what we’ve built.

Olli makes it really easy to build and share data apps. We provide AI-commands (similar to Notion) to generate tables, charts, data summaries, metrics, and more. Once you connect relational databases or warehouses, you can immediately start creating apps.

We’ve built this for teams that have both non-technical and technical team members who want to share data insights. The product is flexible, allowing you to manually edit SQL for any component.

Here’s a 3 min video demo of me spinning up a basic sales report: https://loom.com/share/51a7d7b4b9654218b3576c6655c0993d

If you want to try this with your own data, you can create a free account here and use our one-click deployment option on the homepage: https://app.olli.ai/signup

Thanks!

p.s. Here are instructions on exposing your local DB to Olli https://docs.google.com/document/d/e/2PACX-1vTUBjju66-EYZ-f2...

seandoh··on Replacing a SQL analyst with 26 recursive GPT prompts
Great post. We're building an AI data platform (https://www.olli.ai/) to enable business users (non-technical ppl) to ask data questions and generate dashboards on their own using natural language.

We've been impressed with GPT-3s ability to look at a dataset and come up with relevant questions to ask. A big piece of the product is focused on helping non-technical users identify things that they didn't even think to ask.

We're building https://www.olli.ai/ to help with this. User's can ask questions in natural language, but more importantly, Olli can suggest what questions to ask based on the data.
seandoh··on Every SaaS company will offer native data pipelines like Stripe
https://github.com/pipebird/pipebird
seandoh··on Show HN: Open-source infra for building embedded data pipelines
Pipebird handles all of the actual plumbing (extraction, transfer scheduling, retries, setting up data sharing, etc).

The only thing HubSpot would have to do is set up their source and add a destination through our API.

seandoh··on Show HN: Open-source infra for building embedded data pipelines
Thanks. Airbyte is a great third-party tool for creating custom ELT pipelines and accessing popular connectors. Our focus at Pipebird is different - we help companies work directly with their customers to share data.

To illustrate the difference, imagine ACME Inc. wants to pull its customer data from HubSpot. With Airbyte, they can use a pre-built connector that accesses data made available via the HubSpot API.

Now let's say HubSpot uses Pipebird to build native data sharing features for its customers. ACME Inc. can now deploy a secure data pipeline directly from HubSpot without involving any third-party. Since HubSpot is offering the pipelines, it can choose to expose more data than is made available via its API (Stripe has done this with their data pipeline product https://stripe.com/data-pipeline) and ACME Inc. doesn't need to worry about the pipeline breaking because it's coming directly from the source.

Your company could offer this as a paid product to your customers. As an example, Stripe Data Pipelines https://stripe.com/data-pipeline is a paid product - customers are willing to pay them instead of a third-party.

We see this as a way for companies to strengthen relationships with their customers and grow revenue.

I should mention that we're happy to do a white-gloved deployment for anyone that wants to test out what this would look like in their product - feel free to email hello@pipebird.com
seandoh··on Launch HN: SideGuide (YC S22) – Learn APIs by running them in live environments
This is super interesting and something I definitely would have used running a previous API product. Best of luck!

Thanks! People really seem to love your warehouse sync feature. We hope to help other companies offer similar products to their customers.

Happy to help you deploy some pipelines once you're ready!

Thanks - much appreciated! We will be posting in some other areas to spread the word.
seandoh··on Stripe Financial Connections
Added our pricing page to the website - https://www.realizefi.com/pricing.html

Our Fidelity integration will be out by the end of this week.

seandoh··on Stripe Financial Connections
I was more so referring to the quality of the account connections (frequency, reliability, amount of data pulled, etc.)

I don't think any of them are actually evil!

seandoh··on Stripe Financial Connections
Thanks! We're currently releasing Fidelity and will have IBKR & Vanguard released within the next 2 months.

Sorry for the lack of a pricing page - we're going to add that in. We have graduated pricing starting at $1/mo per linked account and decreasing at different levels of scale. That fee includes unlimited API calls. We're also offering discounted pricing to companies that integrate within the next 60 days.

Feel free to email me whenever at sean@realizefi.com

Yodlee is the lesser evil here... it still disconnects accounts frequently and data is only pulled every ~12 hours.

I'm the co-founder of Realize (https://realizefi.com/), we tried using all of these APIs for our first app and found them to be super broken. Our API uses a mix of brokerages public and private APIs, which allows us to provide reliable connections and pull data in real time.

We're (https://realizefi.com/) currently rolling out our Fidelity integration which will allow you to link accounts at any time.

Plaid actually doesn't do investment account holdings well. My team tried using them for an app and ended up building our own API to address the problem https://realizefi.com/.

We provide real-time holdings, transactions, orders, historical performance (Plaid doesn't provide this at all), and balances.
