    Looks cool! It&#x27;s a lot of work to get a full data stack set up and people are losing interest in stitching the pieces (ETL, warehouse, BI) together.<p>&gt; Agents made bad inferences because they had no context on the business<p>We&#x27;ve been working on this since before the chatgpt launch.<p>We started with a semantic layer since there were already good open source options and LLMs at the time were good at writing the JSON (remember function calling?) to run a semantic query.<p>But as LLMs have gotten smarter and people wanted to do more data work in agents, we found we needed something more flexible, so we built an &quot;Ontology&quot; that lets you store all the terms you use in your company and connect them to the data points (e.g. tables, columns, metrics) that matter.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.definite.app&#x2F;blog&#x2F;ontology-ai-analytics" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.definite.app&#x2F;blog&#x2F;ontology-ai-analytics</a>

    Is there a way to sign up without going through google oauth?

      Not at the moment but it&#x27;s in the queue. If there&#x27;s a sign up method that works better for you feel free to DM me.

    Great concept. Had this idea myself recently.

      Thank you! If you try it out let us know how it goes!

    Highly rec going after a specific vertical - healthcare might be the right spot given your experience. Why did you use DuckDB instead of CockroachDB&#x2F;Snowflake?
    • arcb2 hours ago
      Our outreach is vertical-specific, and healthcare is indeed on the list! But what we learned working a vertical is that the primitives underneath (shared queries, permissions, caching, refresh semantics) repeat across industries.<p>We use DuckDB internally because we like its ergonomics - it&#x27;s flexible, runs well in memory, manages a lot of file structures under the hood, but we do work with Snowflake (and Databricks and other warehouses) as well.
