24 alternatives to Athenic 2.0
Hey HN, I'm Jared. I’ve been building data tools since 2020. Polyture, then AskEdith, now Athenic: ask a question in natural language, get a chart/dashboard, then automate it. Connects to Postgres, Salesforce, Google Ads, whatever. To everyone that says "just link Claude to your db”: imagine the chaos of conflicting definitions and analysis that would show up in a business setting. Ask “what’s our revenue?” twice, two days apart or to a different model. There’s no guarantee that you’ll get the same results. Now imagine giving that to all of the non-technical users at your company. It's…

Hey, I'm Marc one of the co-founders of Fabi! We've all seen the "chat with your data" or the "AI-as-an-assistant" when building reports, but we felt like this wasn't quite right. So we decided to build a system that allowed users to: * Connect any data source to the AI * Purely chat with the AI and their data (so we show the output right in the chat before you even apply the changes) * Convert that chat to a repeatable analysis with a data app or workflow * Toggle back to chat mode without missing a beat Basically this means that if you're a data person, you don't have to go through these…

Sequel▲239Hey, I'm a solo developer building Sequel as a side project. I'm excited to finally launch Sequel! Sequel is an AI tool that will transform how your team interacts with data. Sequel helps you translate natural language queries to SQL and helps you analyse the result just like a data analyst, without even writing a single line of SQL query. What you can do with Sequel? Chat with your databse: Connect your database and ask questions to get results. Generate Graphs and Charts: Ask sequel to give you charts and you will get beautiful visualizations. Analyse your data: Sequel's AI helps you…

YourGPT 2.0▲215Today we are launching YourGPT 2.0, an update focused on making support, sales, and operational workflows work together more smoothly in one system. This release improves how workflows are built, how the platform connects to external tools, and how context is maintained across long, multi-channel interactions. AI Studio now makes it much easier to create and refine workflows. You can describe the process you want in natural language and the system generates the full workflow for you. It can also help debug issues by showing what happened at each step and explaining where things went off…

Excited to share a project I’ve been building for months! Would love to receive honest feedback :) My motivation: AI is clearly going to be the interface for data. But earlier attempts (text-to-SQL, etc.) fell short — they treated it like magic. The space has matured: teams now realize that AI + data needs structure, context, and rules. So I built a product to help teams deliver “chat with data” solutions fast with full control and observability (agent tracing, quality scores, etc) — am I wrong? The product allows you to connect any LLM to any data source with centralized context…

Dashport.ai▲40We developed an AI-driven program for data reports. I have seen the problem with founders, analysts and directors not having the control over their own data. They either waited too long for data reports from their team or struggled with complex coding. We wanted to fix this by creating a tool that works in seconds and requires no coding. The users can upload their data (Excel, CSV, MySQL files etc) and they can ask any question they want in a natural language. They will get interactive dashboards with changeable colors, sizes, type of charts etc. Please leave your feedback if you try it out,…

Hi everyone, we are excited to share with you our new release of Data Formulator. Starting from a dataset, you can communicate with AI agents with UI + natural language to explore data and create visualizations to discover new insights. Here's a demo video of the experience: https://github.com/microsoft/data-formulator/releases/tag/0..... This is a build-up from our release a year ago (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41907719). We spent a year exploring how to blend agent mode with interactions to allow you more easily "vibe" with your…

Hey HN, we built an Econ+Finance database to let AI agents do investment research. We spend a lot of tokens to organize macro releases and SEC filings into a clean format, so that your agents have more context to do actual analysis. The problem AI agents are great at data analysis. But they become ineffective if most of their context window is spent on gathering and cleaning data, instead of validating hypotheses. Data in the wild is messy and rarely standardized. Definitions and measurements change over time. This problem is compounded by a fragmented data universe. Point solutions exist…

Hi HN, We built an AI agent for data analysts that turns the soul crushing spreadsheet & BI tool grind into a fast, verifiable and joyful experience. Early users reported going from hours to minutes on common real-world data wrangling tasks. It's much smarter than an Excel copilot: immutable data steps, a DAG of SQL views, and DuckDB for instant crunching over millions of rows. Our early agent prototype ranked #1 on the Spider2-DBT bench. https://spider2-sql.github.io Try it out and we'd love your feedback! Thanks, Di Wu & the Shadowfax team P.S. Shadowfax is Gandalf's horse from…

Hey HN, I just spent the last few weeks building a database for agents. Over the last year I built PostHog AI, the company's business analyst agent, where we experimented on giving raw SQL access to PostHog databases vs. exposing tools/MCPs. Needless to say, SQL wins. I left PostHog 3 weeks ago to work on side-projects. I wanted to experiment more with SQL+agents. I built an MVP exposing business data through DuckDB + annotated schemas, and ran a benchmark with 11 LLMs (from Kimi 2.5 to Claude Opus 4.6) answering business questions with either 1) per-source MCP access (e.g. one Stripe…

I'm Anand, co-founder and CTO of Altimate AI. My co-founder Pradnesh and I are open-sourcing Altimate Code. AMA. Why we built this: Pradnesh and I have been building tooling for data engineers for three years: dbt Power User and Datamates vscode extensions with combined 750k+ installs, running against real Fortune 500 data estates. The pattern we kept seeing: general-purpose agents can write SQL, but they have no model of what the SQL does. No lineage. No schema context. No understanding of what's in a dbt manifest. That's not a prompt problem; it's a missing tool layer problem. The numbers…

Hi HN, we're TrueState, a Sydney-based team of engineers. Together we've built a platform that helps non-technical and semi-technical users analyse their data with AI. Back in the pre-agentic IDE days, we found ourselves leaning heavily on ChatGPT for writing SQL queries, Matplotlib plotting code, and Pandas transformations. But a lack of sufficient context often meant we spent more time debugging than we actually saved. As recovering consultants and enterprise data team members, we also were haunted by the ad-hoc requests from executives that ate up all of our time. We envisioned an…

Hey HN, For the last couple of months, we have been building an AI agent for continuous statistical analysis, and we're looking for feedback while it's still early in development. We call it BIGWIG - an autonomous agent that is specialised, and very good at, performing advanced statistical analysis, through long traces of iteration and reasoning. As it builds statistical models it also "emits" outputs back to the user that you can then interact with, iterate on and schedule for follow up analysis. While we're still in BETA, we've launched a public analysis site that showcases some of the…

I got tired of the overhead required to run even a simple data analysis - cloud setup, ETL pipelines, orchestration, cost monitoring - so I built a fully local data-stack/IDE where I can write SQL/Py, run it, see results, and iterate quickly and interactively. You get data lake like catalog, zero-ETL, lineage, versioning, and analytics running entirely on your machine. You can import from a database, webpage, CSV, etc. and query in natural language or do your own work in SQL/Pyspark. Connect to local models like Gemma or cloud LLMs like Claude for querying and analysis. You…
