Hey there! 👋 I'm super excited to announce the Beta launch of DataSquirrel to this amazing community! DataSquirrel was born from a real frustration my co-founder Martijn and I discussed back in 2020. As business users, we face constant struggles in making sense of data, which is in different sources and formats. With no data analyst or no-training BI tool, we need to spend many hours on crunching numbers ourselves. We realized many professionals share our pain, so we built DataSquirrel.ai, the ultimate solution for data analysis needs, aiming to become the Canva of Data analysis. Here's why you should try DataSquirrel: 👩‍🔧 No integration or tech support required - simply upload CSV or XLS (in future Google Sheets) 🧹 Automated cleaning and standardization of your data. ✨ Guided analysis, including Test-to-Chart input for faster results. ⚙️ Customizations - filter, segment, date grouping, theme, etc. 👆 One-click creation of PDF/PPT reports or sharing of interactive dashboards. DataSquirrel's completely guided end-to-end flow saves regularly about 80% of your time spent on analytics. It's perfect for professionals or teams from any function who want to be self-reliant and confident in their business decisions - from any function: sales, marketing, product, HR, management, consulting 🕶 If you are the Excel - guru in your work place, giving your colleagues DataSquirrel would free up a lot of your time too 😜 Building DataSquirrel has been a truly special experience: making a concept come to live with a close friend who is as passionate as I am about simplifying complex data problems is a dream come true. Our small team of 8 has a roadmap bigger than us 😀 - one step data combining, advanced cleaning and analytics, annotations, more chart types, automated integration, and much more! We would ❤️ for you to signup to DataSquirrel, and take her for a spin, provide us with feedback, and send happy energy & support our way 🫶

What a great day today! An idea 💡 became a concept, grew to a prototype, was ready for alpha-tester and now we announce the Beta launch of our platform! Beta because we’d love to get more feedback from you on the flow, the looks, the feel and of course the missing features to have DataSquirrel become your go-to platform for anything Data. I have been always on the bridge between business and IT. Learned myself programming at 12 (Sinclair ZX-81 baby!) and after a career with roles like solution architect, delivery manager, as well as co—founding several companies, this is the first attempt to solve a big frustration… Getting grasps on a new set of data, and the analysis of it, takes hours or days. Even tough I speak python and Excel-formulae fluently. I also see many colleagues/managers/directors struggling with the fact they always need to rely on an Excel-guru, or the Engineering department or the Data-team to get insights on which they base their business decisions. Sometimes because of lack of skill, sometimes because the time to dive in is lacking! It is time to re-empower all professionals in dealing data and statistics by facilitating the data exploration process, guide the analysis, prevent mistakes due to dirty data, and help collaboration. We believe in empowering and educating professionals and grow data literacy, to stay relevant in today’s fast pacing and data-driven business environments. The new kid on the block since a few months is OpenAI’s chatbot ChatGPT, as part of all the Generative AI initiatives. While promising solutions (currently on the top of the technology hype cycle), experts are careful about it’s applications and it information security. Therefore we have chosen to not upload any data to a Large Language Model transformer like ChatGPT, because: (a) it is not secure in any way (b) RLHF - what is AI learning from your data and how is it distributed? In short, nobody knows exactly what OpenAI does with your data if you would upload it in their platform. That being said, AI is progressing rapidly and so is DataSquirrel, and we use AI tooling in a secure and privacy-centred way, and will only share header information of your files with 3rd parties, for different functions of our platform. This also decreases the risk of hallucination, a common risk, completely undesirable in a business situation with real and sensitive data. It’s an exciting world out there currently, and my co-founder @aakriti_mahajan1 and I are getting inspired from all the feedback and ideas we receive on a daily basis! It clearly shows there is a need for Data Analysis for Everyone. So most likely also for you! Why don’t you sign up and give it a try? And oh, don’t forget to support :-) 🙏🏻

Sending my warmest congratulations!

Congratulations on the launch! Sounds really Impressive way to visualize and standardize the data

Congratulations on the launch! Cannot wait to try it out 🤘🏼

Data Squirrel is fantastic! It makes sorting and deriving insights csvs easier than ever! My use case was identifying pricing information and for a hotel from occupancy data. With a couple of simple clicks, a massive excel file suddenly became easy to work with and generate reports from. from As a proud alpha tester, happy to see DataSquirrel's beta launch on PH!

Congratulations on the launch Aakriti and Martijn! Super fortunate to be an Alpha user and see Datasquirrel into what it is today. More power to you guys and can’t wait to see what comes next. Have been using datasquirrel since I’ve gotten Alpha access, and it has immensely simplified my workflow to find insights as a PM. What I particularly like 1. DS helps me get to starting point on finding insights from a dataset in minutes. No need to write our SQL or clean the data before I start playing with it. 2. My workflow inevitably required data analysts to first extract the insights I needed and then play around with them on a sheet. DS eliminates that need and takes it from days to minutes. 3. A lot of my job is playing around with datasets to uncover user insights from conversion data and usage data. DS makes that starting point happen in minutes and also allows me to create custom graphs to showcase the insight and share them. 4. Might just be me, but I appreciate the no BS UI that gets me to where I need to be ASAP, without unnecessary animations and flows. Overall, DS has become a integral part of my PM workflow and I love it! Look forward to when y’all integrate live sheet updates and see what y’all build with the new chatGPT plugins.

Congratulations on your launch. 🚀 Good luck guys 🌟

Congrats team

Congratulations on the launch!Good Luck!

Congratulations on the launch! Super excited to see this. 🫶🏻 Having been a part of the alpha test group, I can certainly say that DataSquirrel.ai will definitely help make organisations make faster data driven decisions - we’re talking equipping anyone and everyone with or without native data skills to quickly pull the insights they need on the fly. Bonus points to the clean, simple and elegant UX and UI. Highly recommended! 🤩

I like that it provides Auto-Analyze and that is super fast. Nothing to complain about @aakriti_mahajan1 👌 @martijn_moret

Something is broken. I know it said it would take time to complete my registration but the UI until then is broken. I still see the "get started" button but when I push it I get a registration page. It won't let me register again though, obviously. So why can't I log in, even if only to see that my registration is pending? It's a strange limbo place to be. Before I registered it had an option to share to my contacts. I figured I'd register first, of course, but after I registered I can no longer enter email addresses to share? That's odd.

Congratulations on the launch @aakriti_mahajan1 !! I deeply believe - "data is as dumb as the person looking at it". DataSquirrel majorly solves that problem as you empower the user to see the insights and not just raw dump of data. Not everybody is proficient in excel to crunch the number and come up with actionable insights quickly and this product helps folks to break that boundary! Current data analysis tools available in the market are expensive in terms of real cost & the actual time required for the overall integration, steep learning curve etc. and then finally see the actionable insights. What I like about DataSquirrel is that it will enable users to play with both structured and unstructured data and create a graphical story with nearly instant analysis thus empowering decision making. The fact that I can put all of this in a deck or a PDF is simple amazing, very well thought MVP product! Kudos for the launch and all the best for the journey ahead.

Congratulations on the launch of DataSquirrel! Your solution for simplifying data analysis is impressive! Best of luck with the launch and future development.

Nice.

It looks so convinient and easy to start. Data collection and analysis is important for all businesses, but this work is always very tedious, really hope to find a simple and efficient product to help me do this, a very great "pain point". Will definitely let my team try. Congratulations for the launch and good luck!

Finally someone built a product that everyone from any generation can use without feeling handicap or dumb. Thanks for simplifying working with data ❤️
