What alternatives exist to the analysis feature of chatgpt?

ChatGPT is good for "last mile" adhoc analysis (e.g. you already have all your data in a single file and you want to ask a few questions).

If you're looking for data infrastructure with an AI assistant, try https://www.definite.app/. We give you a full data stack in one app:

1. Built-in data warehouse - We spin up a duckdb database for you

2. 500+ connectors (e.g. Postgres, Stripe, HubSpot, Zendesk, etc.) - You don't need to buy a separate ETL, it's also built-in

3. Semantic layer - Define dimensions, measures, and joins using SQL in one place. We have pre-built models for all the sources we support (e.g. the Stripe model already has measures for MRR, churn, etc.)

4. Simple BI / Dashboards - Build a table with the data you want and generate visuals off that table. Works like a pivot table, if you can use a spreadsheet, you can use Definite.

5. AI assistant to help you thru all of this and analyze your data

I'm mike@definite.app if anyone wants help getting set up.

We’re more focused on data visualization vs. general “chat with your data”, but building in this space: https://minard.ai

Upload or import a CSV, Excel, Google sheet, etc. and also just launched Postgres and Snowflake connectors today!

If you're looking for a more powerful version of ChatGPT Data Analysis, I recommend https://julius.ai/.

If you're looking for a version of ChatGPT Data Analysis, but want to offer it to your customers, take a look at us! https://www.lightski.com/ (disclaimer: I'm the co-founder.) We're building this feature of ChatGPT, but in a way that you can embed inside your app, so that your end-users can get an AI Data Scientist without needing to export data, then import it into ChatGPT or Julius.

Akkio has a pretty good chatbot for this as well as a much longer tail of data transformation and predictive modeling / AutoML features.

Disclaimer: I work at Akkio, but think we have a really nice, value-add product and an excellent team behind it :)

https://patterns.app/, but is more for databases
https://www.findly.ai/ works with databases.
Google just announced their version of this on Tuesday with Gemini
