Hey Product Hunt! 👋 We're @nuwandavek , @ppsreejith and @arpit_tarang , and we're building MinusX, an AI Data Scientist for Jupyter and Metabase. MinusX is a Chrome extension (https://minusx.ai/chrome-extension) that adds an AI sidechat to your analytics apps. Given an instruction, our agent operates your app (by clicking and typing, just like you would) to analyze data and answer queries. Broadly, you can do 3 types of things: - 🔮 Ask for hypotheses and explore data - 🛠️ Extend and modify existing notebooks/dashboards - 🔍 Select a region and ask questions about it 🤕 Why are we building this? Developers just want answers. Product managers just want answers. Analysts want 10 clones of themselves. This is a sentiment we hear over and over. So what’re the options do people have? 1. Continue business as usual with 1000s of back and forths - 🥲 painful 2. Move to a new fancy AI analytics tool (means convincing all colleagues to also move to the new tool, abandoning all existing workflows) - 🥲 extra painful 3. Go to chatGPT which has no real context of your data, your past, your workflow and admonish it till it gives something passable - 🥲 less painful, but sad If this sounds like you, you’ll love MinusX! 🚀🚀🚀 An AI Data Scientist is a Scientist, not yet-another-new-fancy tool. [🧑‍🔬 >>> 🛠️] MinusX just works, where you already are! It uses the full context of your data, current workflows, and is deeply integrated into both Jupyter and Metabase. It "retrofits" analytics software with intelligence, something LLMs have begun to unlock. We also get a kick out of the fact that we use the same APIs humans use (clicking and typing), so we don’t really need "permission" from any analytics app 👀 The product is currently free to use. We’re working on supporting local models and bring-your-own-keys soon! We'd be super stoked for you to try out MinusX! You can find the extension here: https://minusx.ai/chrome-extension. We've also created a playground with data, for both Jupyter and Metabase, so once the extension is installed you can take it for a spin: https://minusx.ai/playground We'd love to hear what you think about the idea, and anything else you'd like to share! Suggestions on which tools to support next are most welcome 🙏 ❤️

Awesome platform! Apart from Metabase, will you be supporting more BI tools along the way? Can't help thinking of Tableau, Power BI, Google Data Studio (not too relevant)

Congratulations on their release! Great job

Hey Vivek, Sreejith, and Arpit, I'm wondering how you handle data privacy concerns, especially when working with sensitive information in Jupyter notebooks or Metabase? Are there plans to expand support to other popular data analysis tools in the future? Congrats on the launch!

Hey @nuwandavek, MinusX sounds super useful, especially for someone like me who uses Jupyter all the time. One quick thing though—how well does it work with more complex dashboards? Just curious if there might be any hiccups with more intricate setups.

Congrats on the launch, @nuwandavek ! This is going to be a huge help and efficiency boost for our development team !

Is it similar to co-pilot in power bi?

This is an awesome concept, @nuwandavek! The integration with Jupyter and Metabase is a game changer for analysts. 🔍 The ability to get answers without switching tools feels like a massive time saver. Excited to try out MinusX and see how it enhances my workflow!

Excited to see MinusX! Integrating AI directly into existing tools like Jupyter and Metabase is a game changer. Can’t wait to give it a try! 🚀

This concept of an AI Data Scientist integrated into existing analytics tools like Jupyter and Metabase is quite intriguing. I'm curious about the potential limitations of MinusX in handling complex data queries compared to traditional methods. How does it ensure accuracy in the insights provided? Additionally, will there be plans for premium features or is the focus on keeping it entirely free? 🙏

MinusX sounds like a great addition for anyone working with Jupyter or Metabase. The idea of an AI Data Scientist that works within your current tools is super cool.

This is a game changer for anyone juggling Jupyter and Metabase! 💡 I love that MinusX operates like a data-savvy sidekick, turning the tedious into the seamless. No more endless back-and-forths or migrating to complicated tools—just good, old-fashioned smart analytics with a twist! Can’t wait to see what features you guys roll out next. @nuwandavek, are you planning to integrate with any specific data visualization tools?

Wop..really nice to see MinusX embedding AI directly into tools. Upvoted!

Wow, @nuwandavek, MinusX looks like an absolute game-changer! As a data analyst, I often find myself juggling between Jupyter and Metabase, and this AI assistant seems like a lifesaver. The ability to integrate directly into existing workflows without any hassle is just brilliant. Can't wait to try it out and see how it boosts our data analysis efficiency! 🎉

I’m interested to know if it supports custom queries or if it’s limited to predefined instructions.

This extension looks like a great addition for anyone working with data in Jupyter or Metabase. Excited to see how it can improve data exploration!

This seems like a good tool for simplifying data analysis within existing workflows. Happy to see AI seamlessly integrated into Jupyter and Metabase, making data exploration and hypothesis testing so much more efficient. Congrats on the launch :)

Love how simple the tool is and is targeting at some of the most widely adopted data tools like Metabase! I used to go back and forth between Metabase and ChatGPT all the time as I'm not super technical but need help with charts and data pull. Congrats on the launch @nuwandavek and team!

Congrats team on the launch of an incredible product! :)
