MinusX

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)

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!
