Show HN: CamelAI – Perplexity for Your Data
camelai.com
Why we built this: - Business teams waste hours waiting for data analysts to build dashboards - Non-technical founders can't get quick insights from their own data - Writing SQL queries is a barrier to data-driven decisions
What makes it different: - Uses DuckDB to query terabytes in seconds (built-in, no setup needed) - Supports advanced analytics (cohort analysis, statistical computations) not just basic SQL - Multi-turn conversations: AI explores your schema, analyzes results, and creates interactive charts - Explains its reasoning and suggests follow-up analyses
Tech details: - Query engine: DuckDB for lightning-fast analytics - AI: Claude Sonnet for chat agent, o1 for report generation - Native connectors: Postgres, MySQL, Supabase, BigQuery (beta) (more to come) - Also supports: CSV, Excel (beta)

Example questions you can ask: - "What's driving our recent user churn?" - "Show me conversion rates by marketing channel" - "Which features correlate with user retention?"
We're a team of ex-Apple/Google engineers who believe data analysis shouldn't require a CS degree. Would love HN's feedback, especially on our query generation and accuracy.
