OT: Something is extremely fishy with the comments in here, guess this slipped through the voting ring detector?

It didn't slip through the ring detector. All those votes were flagged by our software. And yes, the comments are obviously promotional. Not cool!

All: please don't ask friends or teammates to upvote your posts. It's against the rules here—see https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html. And especially please make sure they don't post booster comments in the threads. HN users are really good at detecting this and consider it spamming. They'll flag the post and email us to complain.

Hi Ramirez, we are rolling out the platform in English and progressively we will extend other languages. The Italian is already up and running and we are working on French and German

I guess the algorithm is like: - Parse NLP into [a boolean expression, a table with their joins tables]. - Parse table + boolean expression into a SQL Where clause Isn't it ?

I like it. And I would like the employees of my sales department to use this new approach. Now I ask you: why I have to adopt this new approach. How do I convince my employees to change their approach?

The idea behind Askdata is to support employees who are not data analysts to access data without effort.

Ideally, the best way to onboard your colleagues is to register on the platform, connect a sample dataset with your daily data and show them this frictionless approach.

This is awesome. Can't wait to share the vision you have here with my team. I worry about it's actual capability to perform (it's a hard problem to solve), but I will certainly try it.

Very interesting. I like to think that the habit of doing queries could change. It would be interesting to see a video with a data cube.

It's really easy to link a MySQL dataset and ask questions about your data. Will DynamoDB also be supported?

Hi Dragos, thanks for your feedback. DybamoDB is on-roadmap

An agent is the point-of-contact between the users and the data. Could you explain me better?

What happens the answer produces a lot of data? For example more than 100 records?

We generate a subset preview of the answer and provide a link to a web-view containing the full results

Very charming. Do you plan to extend the platform to other languages?
