MinusX

AI Data Scientist for Jupyter, Metabase, Sheets, PostHog

Freemium

Description

MinusX provides an AI-driven data science assistant directly within users' existing analytics environments through a Chrome Extension. It integrates seamlessly with platforms such as Jupyter notebooks, Metabase, Sheets, and PostHog, allowing users to interact with their data using natural language instructions. The tool operates the application interface—clicking and typing—to perform analyses, generate hypotheses, manipulate data, and answer queries without requiring users to leave their workflow.

By understanding the context of the application being used, MinusX aims to streamline the data analysis process. It enables users to select specific areas within their analytics tool and ask targeted questions or request modifications. This approach facilitates faster data exploration and insight generation, effectively acting like an AI assistant embedded in the user's browser.

Key Features

Frequently Asked Questions

Is MinusX a new platform?

No, MinusX works within your existing analytics tools like Jupyter notebooks, Metabase, etc. It operates the app by clicking and typing, just like you would, to analyze your data and answer queries based on your instructions.

How is my data handled?

Metadata such as table schemas, code, queries, and a sample of query outputs are stored on your browser. This context is sent to the LLM to process your instructions. Refer to the privacy policy for a detailed overview.

What can MinusX do compared to LLM chat apps?

MinusX integrates directly into your existing tools, keeping you within your workflow. It has full context of the application you're using (like Jupyter or Metabase) and can choose the appropriate actions based on that context.

Which AI models do you support?

Currently, MinusX supports Claude Sonnet 3.5, GPT-4o, and GPT-4o mini. Options to choose or bring your own models are being worked on.

What is the long-term plan for MinusX?

The goal is to build the best AI data scientist that utilizes the necessary tools and context for any task. The development path focuses on creating useful, specialized intermediaries towards more autonomous agents.
