View original on Reddit…and added an AI query tool for the ad-hoc stuff — people just type questions and get answers. tools like BlazeSQL, DataGPT etc. ThoughtSpot does something similar but its more enterprise-y and expensive. the "just replace Looker with X" mindset kept us stuck for a while. what actually worked…

For that ad hoc stuff tools like BlazeSQL or DataGPT just connect to the DB and let you ask in plain English, it writes the SQL and hands back the table/chart, so you skip maintaining a report template for every one-off…

I've also been playing with DataGPT on the "automated analysis" side of things and its...okay. It makes things faster for sure, but not necessarily better without significant addl human input.
