MinusX: AI Data Scientist for Jupyter and Metabase
MinusX is a Chrome Extension that adds a side chat to Jupyter and Metabase. Given an instruction, our agent operates the apps— via clicking and typing— to analyze data and answer queries. We strongly believe that you already have all the tools you need; you just need someone like MinusX to use them! Checkout minusx.ai for more info.
Pain
- Lack of data analyst/data scientist bandwidth is a certified pain.
- If you're a programmer, you just want answers. If you're a product manager, you just want answers. If you're an analyst/scientist, you want 10 clones of yourself.
- Any new fancy "talk-to-data" platform is a whole thing. You have to migrate your data, and you have to convince your whole team to move— just to start using it.
- Working in ChatGPT / Claude requires constant copy-pasting. Also, you want to inter-operate with AI, make corrections when it messes up, and guide it rather than just admonish it in chat.
- More importantly, they're still just chat! No AI system today can really use analytics software - click and type - to get you that data you needed 5 minutes ago.
Our Approach
An AI Data Scientist is a Scientist, not yet-another-new-analytics-platform- Advanced agents should just work with tools you already use and get out of the way.
- MinusX integrates seamlessly into workflows. You can invoke it only when you need it to do something.
- Whether you're a data analyst, programmer, or product manager, you can use MinusX to speed up your workflows instantly.
- We believe the path to advanced agents runs through specialized, useful intermediaries.
Team
We love to build stuff. We met about a decade ago in the drowsy hinterlands of IIT Kharagpur and have been building things together at work, on side projects, and at hackathons ever since. Vivek was most recently a Research Engineer working on self-driving cars at comma.ai, Sreejith was a Senior Engineer in the Meta shops ads ranking team optimizing Facebook Shops Ads delivery & core infrastructure, and Arpit was building a warehouse robot fleet as a Product Engineer at Udaan. We have extensive experience in machine learning, data infrastructure, and systems engineering needed to build the best, most delightful class of Data Science agents you'll ever use.
