Hey Product Hunt! 👋
We're @nuwandavek , @ppsreejith and @arpit_tarang , and we're building MinusX, an AI Data Scientist for Jupyter and Metabase. MinusX is a Chrome extension (https://minusx.ai/chrome-extension) that adds an AI sidechat to your analytics apps. Given an instruction, our agent operates your app (by clicking and typing, just like you would) to analyze data and answer queries. Broadly, you can do 3 types of things:
- 🔮 Ask for hypotheses and explore data
- 🛠️ Extend and modify existing notebooks/dashboards
- 🔍 Select a region and ask questions about it
🤕 Why are we building this?
Developers just want answers. Product managers just want answers. Analysts want 10 clones of themselves. This is a sentiment we hear over and over. So what’re the options do people have?
1. Continue business as usual with 1000s of back and forths - 🥲 painful
2. Move to a new fancy AI analytics tool (means convincing all colleagues to also move to the new tool, abandoning all existing workflows) - 🥲 extra painful
3. Go to chatGPT which has no real context of your data, your past, your workflow and admonish it till it gives something passable - 🥲 less painful, but sad
If this sounds like you, you’ll love MinusX! 🚀🚀🚀
An AI Data Scientist is a Scientist, not yet-another-new-fancy tool. [🧑🔬 >>> 🛠️]
MinusX just works, where you already are! It uses the full context of your data, current workflows, and is deeply integrated into both Jupyter and Metabase. It "retrofits" analytics software with intelligence, something LLMs have begun to unlock. We also get a kick out of the fact that we use the same APIs humans use (clicking and typing), so we don’t really need "permission" from any analytics app 👀
The product is currently free to use. We’re working on supporting local models and bring-your-own-keys soon! We'd be super stoked for you to try out MinusX! You can find the extension here: https://minusx.ai/chrome-extension. We've also created a playground with data, for both Jupyter and Metabase, so once the extension is installed you can take it for a spin: https://minusx.ai/playground
We'd love to hear what you think about the idea, and anything else you'd like to share! Suggestions on which tools to support next are most welcome 🙏

This seems like a good tool for simplifying data analysis within existing workflows. Happy to see AI seamlessly integrated into Jupyter and Metabase, making data exploration and hypothesis testing so much more efficient. Congrats on the launch :)
Congratulations on launching MinusX! 🎉
How does MinusX ensure that the AI Data Scientist accurately interprets the context of your data and workflows within Jupyter and Metabase?
Love how simple the tool is and is targeting at some of the most widely adopted data tools like Metabase! I used to go back and forth between Metabase and ChatGPT all the time as I'm not super technical but need help with charts and data pull.
Congrats on the launch @nuwandavek and team!
This is truly amazing! I used to be that data science guy several years back and I pretty much understand some of the pain around that corner and I could see MinusX making work with data less of a night mare with it AI integration.
Great job guys!
Being able to interact with my data in natural language right from my favorite analytics tools is impressive.
The idea of adding an AI sidechat to existing tools is brilliant. It’s exciting to see innovation that enhances tools we already rely on
I’m excited about this tool’s ability to modify existing notebooks and dashboards. It’s a great way to get more out of the tools we’re already using
This extension looks like a great addition for anyone working with data in Jupyter or Metabase. Excited to see how it can improve data exploration!
I’m interested to know if it supports custom queries or if it’s limited to predefined instructions.
Wow, @nuwandavek, MinusX looks like an absolute game-changer! As a data analyst, I often find myself juggling between Jupyter and Metabase, and this AI assistant seems like a lifesaver. The ability to integrate directly into existing workflows without any hassle is just brilliant.
Can't wait to try it out and see how it boosts our data analysis efficiency! 🎉
I’m curious, how intuitive is the side chat feature for users who aren’t too familiar with analytics tools?
Having a Chrome extension that can work with platforms and Sheets to handle data queries and modifications is a huge advantage. It's a great idea 💡
This tool’s feature of interacting with existing analytics applications through natural language is brilliant. It’s going to make navigating and analyzing data so much easier and faster.
Integrating with analytics apps like Jupyter and Metabase to provide insights directly within those platforms is a helpful. The ability to ask questions and get immediate answers without leaving the app is incredibly useful.
The ability to interact with various analytics tools directly from the browser sounds incredibly useful.
MinusX might be the closest thing to having a personal data scientist in your browser! 🧑🔬 Can't wait to see if it can handle my quirky data queries!
