Would you be our first customer, if we do it? ;-)

The fact of the matter is that, while it is a tempting idea it's far from easy. The interfaces may not be that hard, but the storage itself will have its challenges and building a fast ad-hoc inference & representation learning layers on top of it is a huge project.

After working on Aito's DB and ML parts for several years, I can promise: it's more work & harder than it looks :-)

Yeah I trust you, I use and contribute to rdbms and am a bit familiar with their innards.

The key thing you want to enable is eg Tableau. Building classifications and predictions into something business people rather than devs use would be a promising strategy.

Recently I’ve been using presto to make various things appear to be conventional db tables, and getting computed data into tableau that way.
