1/ Click on example in check box 2/ Click the send button 3/ Redirects to login / sign up dialog 4/ forced to switch to email 5/ log in to password manager 6/ do 2FA 7/ enter verification code 8/ redirects to dashboard 9/ example clicked never shows up No. Just no.

Seems par for the course nowadays

Hello fellow builder. I think the BI space is definitely ripe for change and I do wish more products had better dashboards for users!

That being said, embedded analytics is a tough space, because established BI tools (PowerBI, etc.) can be used and are preferred by data teams, or software engineers just fiddle directly with things like plotly or highcharts.

Similarly by now "AI Analytics" is getting crowded: https://github.com/Snowboard-Software/awesome-ai-analytics

Looking forward to watching your journey and ideas!

FYI, we're building https://getdot.ai

AI focused new BI products are a wash, your focus should be a new BI product with maybe an AI integration (Not the other way around), or an AI integration to an existing BI product. The BI tool Kanaries / PyGWalker is a good example of where python based BI tooling should be going, replacing big corp BI tools to get CDO/CIO's to go the direction of abandoning Tableau/PBI for lower infra and platfrom cost, open source tooling & integration.

I am not saying its a bad idea, but your net is wide, very wide, you are trying to conquer two separate area. Both areas need innovation in the data space, but I think the AI rush is dieing down. Claude and GPT offer good support for PowerBI and Tableau, but there are no extension integrations. This is where BI AI should be, AI's integrated into Tableau workbooks editing the core XML of the workbooks, offering translation tooling to convert Prep to Alteryx, Tableau to PBI...etc.

It's also hard sell if your core platform doesn't cover SSO, Encryption, DB integrations, Self Deployment, RBAC's, PenTest, Corps looks for these things immediately, and BI tools are purely a Corp thing not a Consumer thing.

That said its a cool idea and implementation.

Honestly my largest feedback is what does it integrate with? Present this on the homepage instantly. The documentation doesn't cover it, and clicking "+ database" has me sign up. I'm not going to sign up unless I can do what I need to do and I don't know if I can if I don't know how the dataset is configured or what it can pull / be streamed from.

The .new TLD is very restrictive, it is intended to be used for launching a new something, e.g: docs.new creates a new Google Doc. Your domain does not launch a new "bi" (whatever that is). The .new TLD is managed by Google and they do enforce this requirement. > .new is a domain extension exclusively for performing new actions online: any act that leads to creation can have a quick and memorable .new shortcut associ…
