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?
- Continue business as usual with 1000s of back and forths - 🥲 painful
- 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
- 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)@charlestehio Yep! We're currently exploring the tools mentioned in our home page (Grafana, Colab, Google Sheets, etc) but do tell us which tool you'd like us to add next at https://minusx.ai/tool-requestThis 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?@nuwandavek @ema_elisi We're still exploring what tools to add support to (Currently looking at Grafana, Colab, Google Sheets etc). Please do let us know which tools you'd like us to add at https://minusx.ai/tool-request :)🚀 Congrats on the launch! You should be so proud. I'll use it and be cheering for your continued success! @nuwandavek@zulkarnaim Thanks, we really appreciate it!
