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…

Athenic 2.0 launched on June 14, 2026 with 189 votes, #165 of 22,647 launches that month and more than 99% of that year's launches.

  • Fabi.ai Analyst Agent2025 · fabi.ai · ▲126

    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…

  • I built an open-source AI data layer that connects any LLM to any data2025 · github.com · ▲18

    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.ai2025 · dashport.ai · ▲40

    We 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,…

  • FactIQ – a realtime econ+finance database for AI agentsJul 2026 · github.com · ▲7

    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…

Happy to discuss any questions here!
