> when you connect a warehouse like Snowflake, BigQuery, or Postgres
I'm curious what others are seeing connecting AI tools to Snowflake. Snowflake charges $3 per compute hour and it's pretty easy for an agent to run dozens of queries asynchronously.
As others have mentioned, if you want a notebook, compare this hard against Hex. It's unclear what LiveDocs would give you over Hex (cheaper maybe?).
ps - if you don't have Snowflake / data warehouse yet, we give you a full data platform (data lake + pipelines + dashboards + agent) at https://www.definite.app/.

Livedocs runs locally on your machine or on customer-managed infra, has full terminal access, supports canvas mode for building custom UIs (not just charts), and uses long-running agent workflows with sub-agents coordinating work over time, etc
There is a lot more to data work than just SQL + charts like the tool you mentioned

I've been rolling my own data viz of NFL and NBA stat trends and am curious if this could come up with some better ways to display and analyze the data than I'm currently doing. I would really like to see some solid examples of something similar before investing time (and likely money) into this.
looks great & appreciate that there is an accessible pricing tier. congrats on the launch!

Not a fan of asking to log in to continue after the user has entered data. It's a dark pattern that indicates you are trying to inflate sign up numbers rather than just making your site sticky enough that people want to sign up organically.

In our case, in order to run the queries we need to provision a sandbox and connect to your data sources to give meaningful answers, unlike a general purpose chat. We need to have some authentication to prevent abuse here, but the product itself has a free tier so you can use it without paying or needing a card.

Fair enough but the examples shown could surely just display some pre-cooked examples to give a demo of how rhe product works with no real cost to you or barrier to potential users.

True! Tried to do that with the video + the example prompts but definitely could use improvement. Thanks for the feedback

Even after creating an account, it didn't even finish a single request before it ran out of credits. I'm not going to pay to try it out.

We include $5 in credits for every new account, after which you can pay-as-you-go for credits. I can drop some more credits in your account so you get to try it out fully, let me know what's the email (I'm a at livedocs)

That website has an uncanny resemblance to Hex circa 2024.

I mean the whole product is a Hex clone, literally every feature is something Hex has had for a long time...

Haha, as if Hex isn’t a clone
