Nice idea. Not sure it’s fully ready yet, and I have a few suggestions.

One, you need more content to explain the concept to the user. A table and an input box is not sufficient. Sure, I could mess around and figure it out, but for all I know I’d be missing out on all the cool features.

Two, provide some examples, and some alternative datasets (e.g. tabular, nested, relational).

I’m not sure how to use it, so I gave the prompt:

> plot speed vs defence

on the Pokémon dataset. It provided me with an empty scatter plot.

Three, you need an FAQ. Some example questions: Can I run this locally? Can I integrate this with private data sources such as Prometheus? How does the project work? Who worked on it? Are there terms and conditions? What kind of data sources does it currently work on? What are the ongoing plans? Etc.
