using googlesheets as database

…this, you'll want to implement some smart filtering and batching to avoid burning through tokens. You can try using camelAI for free and it should work (I'm the founder). Some general tips: \- Start with a small sample (like 1000 emails) to test your approach \- Focus on specific time periods…

You got that many tokens in 10 minutes from CamelAI? The whole criticism against them is that they are super slow, and the that's they they can afford to serve so cheaply. I know you said input tokens not output, but still that's a pretty nice endorsement for the service if it's able to serve you…

…want to do good deep research, then I'd recommend either the hugging face smolagents implementation, or better yet, CamelAI's OWL deep research agents, which currently holds the highest position on the open source deep research leaderboard. As for the model, you want to run the most intelligent…

pros and cons of using chatgptai to write your

…6 years worth of csv or text data. I probably wasted 40 plus hours trying to get it to work. I found this llm called camel ai that is specifically for data. Probably took 8 hours of prompts and I consistently asked if it needed anymore information from me to make the data better. But it worked…

Great story and advice. Not the first I’ve seen advice to apply late - interesting. Also CamelAI looks cool.

what kind of tools you use to analyze your saas

…complex real quick. For our own product, we actually built an internal tool that evolved into what we now offer as CamelAI. It's an AI chat with your data - just upload a CSV sample of your data to try it out, or connect your data warehouse when you're ready. We have a free tier that lets you…

lovable but for data engineering

Have you looked into camelAI? Full disclosure - I built it. It lets you chat with your data and get visualizations without SQL knowledge. For simpler stuff, Ask On Data is pretty good too. It's open source and does basic ETL through chat. Just know that with any no-code tool for data engineering,…

how we designed a chatfirst experience for data

I use something similar to Capalyze. The use cases are pretty simple. I haven’t used CamelAI or Julius (have heard of Julius) but plan to test them. Where I’ve seen AI work well is in automating simple, highly repeatable analyses (which, again, it still hallucinates, which is dangerous when…
