The Problem: Text-to-SQL Has Failed

Let's be honest: Text-to-SQL has been around for years. It's been done to death and it still leaves users frustrated. Instead of giving clear answers, Text-to-SQL makes users fight for insights:

• Setup takes forever
• Queries only work well for narrow, predictable questions
• Results come as raw data tables, not analysis
• Business users struggle to get actionable insights

Business users don't want raw tables of data—they need clear insights. But text-to-SQL forces them to piece together answers manually, leaving them frustrated and no closer to a decision.

The real problem: Getting valuable insights out of your own data is still too hard and too time consuming.

For executives, founders, and product managers, this means:

• Waiting days for simple data requests
• Making decisions without complete information
• Spending hours building and maintaining dashboards
• Wasting precious engineering time for a "quick data pull"

For technical teams, it means:

• Constant context-switching to answer basic data questions
• Building one-off dashboards that are rarely used
• Explaining the same metrics repeatedly

Our Solution: camelAI

Ask camelAI anything - from basic KPIs to complex business metrics your team hasn't even thought to track:

Deep Research Agent: Watch as our Agent writes SQL queries in real time, explores your data, and generates interactive visualizations that deliver immediate insights. Complete transparency at every step.

Learns Your Company: camelAI learns your company's language through use. It remembers past queries and improves through your feedback, creating consistent company-specific analysis.

Instant Visualizations: camelAI doesn't just dump query results; it automatically creates interactive Plotly visualizations with written analysis of what the data actually means.

One-Click Dashboards: Any visualization can be saved to a dashboard that refreshes automatically. Create comprehensive dashboards in minutes, not hours.

Enterprise-Ready: We support on-prem and VPC deployments across multiple databases.

The New Reality

Without camelAI:

1. Adding tickets to sprints for basic data questions
2. Waiting days for simple insights
3. Engineers constantly pulled away from building products

With camelAI:

1. Business teams get answers immediately
2. Engineers focus on building products
3. Founders make better decisions faster

Who Needs This Yesterday

• Founders who can't afford to wait for data
• Product Teams tracking metrics without a dedicated analyst
• CTOs tired of being the bottleneck for data requests
• Junior Analysts who want to focus on insights, not queries

Setup Takes 60 Seconds

1. Connect your data source — pick from 10+ connections or upload a CSV
2. Ask your first question
3. Start making better decisions

🐪 How We Got Here

We've been shipping products together for three years. We're not data analysts, and that was the problem.

Our organized data was right there, but we couldn't get to it without SQL expertise or wrestling with clunky BI tools that never quite answered our actual questions. So we built the tool we needed.

Our insight was simple: stop writing SQL queries by hand. Let AI do what it's good at. Let humans ask natural questions and get answers they can use right away.
