This is very cool, one usecase I definitely see for this is letting PMs get the answers they want without bothering eng.

I would even take this further and hide the SQL altogether, and make this accessible via Slack/Teams bot.

As a PM in a previous life, this is dead on.

I need answers from queries in the DB but I don't have DB access and having me write sql queries is a waste of time.

I always used Metabase for this.

Maybe the largest core beneficiary from a tool such as Outerbase are in fact product teams. That's where we know at larger companies pain is felt.

We do have a Slack integration that isn't launched YET but is in internal testing to be released soon. Glad to hear this feedback and know we're on the right track with thoughts here!
