> Demo is broken

This is a deal breaker for me at least; if a service can't handle a predicted load from HN and friends, it's not trustworthy.

It's like buying a car: if I can't start it before a test-drive, I would never buy it.

I hear you, we're fixing it right now.

disclaimer: I worked on AskEdith

It also prompts to make an account (and won't respond to the demo submit request) after what, 3 tries on the demo? This not really enough to determine whether it has the horsepower to do anything significant. Requiring signup to do even basic exploration of capability turns me away.

I don't think you understand.

As long as this is an SaaS, it's useless; no one should depend on a third-party provider to create VIEWs for them. "Oh, we can't deliver tax reports to the government because AskEdith is down" doesn't work as an excuse, at least not here in Norway.

Just some really great reading I came across that we're applying to our startup. Really deep insights with practical things to do.

Upload CSVs and ask questions

It's hard to "test" the accuracy of the SQL after generation, but it is provided to you in its raw form for you to double check.

The idea is that you can use AskEdith any time you're looking at a Google Sheet, Excel, Airtable, SQL DB, etc. Alot of work requires working with data to some degree (marketing, sales, etc.), but isn't really part of their core work, so the goal of AskEdith is to help you do those filters, joins, groupings, etc., and get back to your make work quickly.

After each query, you get to see the raw SQL that was generated and a plain English explanation of it! You can also download the queried data to inspect.

Is this a system that runs on a laptop or is it on cloud?

On your own laptop for now. This has the advantage that your data is already there on your local disk - no need for uploading. But with some minor changes we can run it in the cloud too
