The autonomous car analogy is a good one. The technology is overall so far superior to a human (probably scrolling TikTok) driving but the moment it makes a mistake we remove the AEV which would be to to higher societal benefit. Decisions s

For companies that are willing to put in some effort, the self hosting option is a great one. There are certain use cases where this works now, and is already in production. These tend to be use cases with some constraints and don’t deal wi

we've encountered a lot of instances when people know SQL but just want a first draft of SQL to expedite the process. we see this a lot from data analysts too.

yes. some want BYOC solutions. others don't want to even be perceived as being used to train an LLM. not to mention CCPA, GDPR, etc etc etc. lots of questions around what data is being sent to the LLM, or just schema.

Enterprises are spending lots of time and money on this. The biggest issue that has slowed down sales cycle at this stage has been data governance. Most folks think it’s about accuracy or latency (which of course is an issue) but data gover

there is a middle ground here. the most complicated queries will need the intel and business context of a smart data scientist. there are however so many types of queries where automation would make the world so much easier and allow more s

is there an easier way?

if you expect correct 99% of the time, you will be waiting for a very very very long time for most, except for the most constrained, use cases

"...what it expects them to do" therein lies the nuance. some people expect to get a natural language answer back. others expect to get a data table back. others expect to get correct SQL back. this is why it's so important t

I agree with you. The larger point with text to SQL, however, is that it will not work if it is a simple wrap of an LLM (GPT or otherwise). Text to SQL will only work if there is a sufficient understanding of the business context required.

allow me to clarify.. Dataherald isn't intended for developers because they don't know SQL, it's intended for developers who want to build text to SQL into their products

We’ve seen demand from all types of SaaS applications where the user might need data— software that helps customer support staff answer data questions, CRM, payroll software, just to name a few.

"Anything more natural requires a lot of context and needs to solve ambiguity. this is precisely why we created Dataherald-- to make it much easier to add that business context so that NL to SQL could actually be good enough to get int

while i agree, there is clear demand for people to use natural language to SQL. we have tremendous conviction around the desire for natural language tools, but of course the technology and product need to deliver desired results.

i agree that there will be "early adopter" type use cases and others that might take a while (e.g. healthcare with hipaa compliance) it is still the early days. goal is to give the developer tools to do this easier.

Tbh the original intention was to be the "data analyst" but we found over time (and with literally 100s of user conversations at small cos and enterprises) the embedded use case was more interesting and made for a better business,
