Kind of goes in the direction of what Thoughtspot ( https://www.thoughtspot.com/ ) is doing ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D-y_EjFsDuk )
Does it perform NLP on company documents?

Looks like a good idea. But, where does it get its data from? Does it perform NLP on company documents?
My assumption is that it works on metadata coming from a relational schema with a rule parser on top.
Honestly I don't see how it would work well enough if it was based on NLP of unstructured data.
does anyone know how this kind of stuff gets built ? I'm considering a spreadsheet-y internal admin dashboard for my startup. I was looking at https://github.com/JoshData/jot to be able to sync stuff on the client side to the server. has anyone worked on something like this ? the big challenge is synchronization - between server and multiple clients - while being able to offload a lot of computations on to the client…
The big challenge is implementing the spreadsheet UI.
Well charts is a good addon but just wanted to understand how they are able to do this ... i mean Machine Learning part , for example if somebody asks "Show me sales of X product in last year" , from machine learning perspective how this gets interpreted in actual SQL query ..
Oh, wow. I love where this is headed. Spreadsheets are one of the most abused products in a normal business--used for everything , and then some poor excel jockey ends up being forced to create a semblance of order from the chaos.
That's because spreadsheets are an excellent tool for prototyping, and developers have shitty tools for building robust products from a prototype. If developers had a quick way to create properly engineered applications from a working workflow involving a spreadsheet, it would be easy to define most company processes on Excel or Google Docs and turn them into solid software. But building an application that is functi…
can you explain this to me? i've never used spreadsheets extensively so i'm clearly ignorant but my impression was that the only thing you could really (i know you can bend the rules etc.) is data transformation. when you say application is what you mean? i.e an ETL app or do you mean more than that?
how many corporate secretes will be leaked into this?
Earlier quoted context omitted.

And so here we are now.
