Launch HN: Inconvo (YC S23) – AI agents for customer-facing analytics

16•ogham•2h ago
Hi HN, we are Liam and Eoghan of Inconvo (https://inconvo.com), a platform that makes it easy to build and deploy AI analytics agents into your SaaS products, so your customers can quickly interact with their data.

There’s a demo video at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4wlZL3XGWTQ and a live demo at https://demo.inconvo.ai/ (no signup required). Docs are at https://inconvo.com/docs.

SaaS products typically offer dashboards and reports, which work for high-level metrics but are clunky for drill-downs and slow for ad-hoc questions. Modern users, shaped by tools like ChatGPT, now expect a similar degree of speed and flexibility when getting insights from their data. To meet these expectations, you need an AI analytics agent, but these are painful to develop and manage.

Inconvo is a platform built from the ground up for developers building AI agents for customer-facing analytics. We make it simple to expose data to Inconvo by connecting to SQL databases. We offer a semantic model to create a layer that governs data access and defines business logic, conversation logs to track user interactions, and a developer-friendly API for easy integration. For observability we show a trace for each agent response to make agent behaviour easily debuggable.

We didn’t start out building Inconvo, initially we built a developer productivity SaaS from which we pivoted. Our favourite feature of that product was its analytics agent, and we knew that building one was a big enough problem to solve on its own so we decided to build a developer tool to do so.

Our API is designed for multi-tenant databases, allowing you to pass session information as context. This instructs the agent to only analyse data relevant to the specific tenant making the request.

Most of our competitors are BI tools primarily designed for internal analytics with limited embedding options through iFrame or unintuitive APIs.

If you’re concerned about AI SQL generation, we are too. In our opinion, AI agents for customer-facing analytics shouldn’t generate and run raw SQL without validation. Instead, our agents generate structured query objects that are programmatically validated to guarantee they request only the data allowed within the context of the request. Then we send validated objects to our QueryEngine which converts the object to SQL. With this approach we ensure a bounded set of possible SQL that can be generated, which stops the agent from hallucinating and running rouge queries.

Our pricing is upfront and available on our website. You can try the platform for free without a credit card.

If you want to try out the full product, you can sign up for free at https://auth.inconvo.ai/en/signup. As mentioned, our sandbox demo is at https://demo.inconvo.ai/, and there’s a video at https://youtu.be/4wlZL3XGWTQ.

We're really interested in any feedback you have so please share your thoughts and ideas in the comments, as we aim to make this tool as developer-friendly as possible. Thanks!

Congratulations on the launch, looks great. Do you also support Google Sheets? We are building our dashboards in Sheets right now and that’s a big pain. Looking for alternatives.
ensemblehq•1h ago
Gemini has some support for Google Sheets built-in. It's under Labs now but worth a comparison: https://support.google.com/docs/answer/14218565?hl=en

Thanks for checking it out! We're focusing on SQL databases (PostgreSQL/MYSQL) as that's where many SaaS companies are storing their customer-facing app data.

Are your dashboards for an internal use-case? If so, there are some excellent AI-Native BI tools out there that have connections for Google Sheets.

oof, at least use looker studio.

Congrats on the launch, any plans to support ClickHouse?

ps. I work for ClickHouse and happy to help

ogham•32m ago
Thanks! Yes we have plans to support ClickHouse.

The reason we don't is that we currently use Drizzle for schema introspection and query building and Drizzle doesn't have an adapter for ClickHouse yet.

There's an active issue on the Drizzle repo requesting Clickhouse support that has some interest and the possibility of using the Postgres interface that ClickHouse exposes was discussed there.

Would be great to talk about this in more detail with you, shoot me an email (eoghan@inconvo.ai)

Looks nice. I didn't see any time series use for trend analysis, will you be adding support for that? I think that's the area where I've seen the most demand for this type of assisted data exploration.

I also noticed that you have your org id in your LLM trace - does that mean that you are trusting your agent to limit the orgs it queries? If so that seems quite dangerous as it could be tainted by prompt injection, no?
