One factor that no one seems to have noticed is that both cofounders, Ravi and Joshua, have already built fairly big companies. Ravi was the co-founder at Heap (he took over my co-…

Neat. But why did you build this instead of just using Jasper?

There are lots of examples in the use cases section of any low-code vendor, but in short, most internal tools are not in the horizontal categories you listed. They're in vertical, …

Cool. How do you use it to generate the frontend CRUD interfaces?

How do you use ChatGPT to write CRUD apps? Do you mean Github Copilot?

Equals is an actual spreadsheet with read-only access to your warehouse. It's used for analytics and accounting. Plato is a visual database, similar to Airtable, with read-write (c…

Definitely, though the semantics of field mappings often only exist in a user's head, so will need to be explicitly defined. English prompts will no doubt be a big part of Plato, t…
