Nice! I think this space is growing. There are a few others Im aware off in the space worth checking out: https://julius.ai/, https://cipher42.ai (I've built the early version of this).

#32Like the looks of this. Any chance you'll be adding support for SQLite at some point?
Oh yes! Should be done fairly easily, we have DuckDB coming in the next release, we can also add SQLite. You use SQLite to develop locally I guess?

We heard of Julius a lot, but did not know about Cipher42, there are a few others folks around. We feel there is a pain and also data teams are a bit abandoned at the moment when it comes to work using AI so makes sense. Curious to get a feedback about your journey building cipher, did you stop working on it?

#34Does this only work if I'm writing raw SQL? Can I use this today if my project uses Postgres but has queries written in TypeScript using a query builder like Kysely?

#35Do you support Exasol? In the current climate we don’t want to be too dependent on US cloud services, so we are moving our performance sensitive dwh workloads off Snowflake to Exasol.
Not yet, but we are willing to develop these specific connectors on ask. You can reach out!
Just one question what makes you pick Exasol rather than going with an open-source warehouse tech (e.g. Clickhouse or a lake with Trino)?

Yeah at the moment the Tab is made to work the best with raw SQL (either pure SQL files or in a string).
But, if you use the chat/agent you can explain that you're using Kysely and give the warehouse context he will probably handle this.
I did not know Kysely, but from the gif on the project landing it looks like the autocomplete is great? It's different than a tab I agree tho.

#37The founders showcased a demo at the Data Council conference. Looked cool!

#38Been using this for several weeks now and it's genuinely improved my workflow—I'm choosing it over VSCode and extensions more than half the time.
The chat for exploratory data analysis ("what can you tell me about this column I just added?"), the worksheets and column lineage are real game-changers for dbt development. These features feel purposefully designed for how I actually work.
Claire and Christophe are super responsive to feedback, implementing features and fixes quickly. You can see the product evolving in all the right directions!
