Roast my startup idea in the AI Analytics space

1•kinstak•4h ago
After 8 months on a different space, we just pivoted and are looking to launch a startup in the analytics space. We are building a middleware that helps data teams and business users talk and interact with their data sources (Data Warehouse, CRM, Shopify, Zendesk, GA4, FB Ads, etc.) using ChatGPT.

The idea is that business users and analysts can ask questions or build reports directly on ChatGPT (through a CustomGPT), simply by typing them out in English. Then, an admin panel will allow the Data team to stay in control by connecting data sources, setting permissions, defining guardrail, configuring and scheduling pre-defined reports, adding reference queries (what to do and what not to do), and tracking how the tool is being used across the company.

Our goal is to make data more accessible without bypassing the data team, empowering analysts and business users without forcing the Data Team to hand-hold every request.

I am looking for feedback on: - Would you (or your team) find this useful? - What concerns would you have (accuracy, trust, adoption)? - How would this compare to the tools you currently use (Tableau, Looker, Metabase, etc.)?

Thanks so much in advance!!!
