Defog.ai

What is Defog.ai?

Defog.ai is an AI data analyst for companies that want people to ask questions about their data in plain language rather than wait for someone to write a query. It connects to structured databases and warehouses such as Snowflake, Postgres, SQL Server and MySQL, takes CSV and Excel uploads, and can pull from SaaS tools to answer across several sources. Answers come with automatic visualizations that you can save and share. The system is built on SQLCoder, Defog's open-source text-to-SQL model, and the vendor says the underlying data stays in your environment because the generated SQL runs on your side. You can steer results with guided teaching and feedback, and run statistical analyses or multi-step reasoning on complex questions. It is available through a desktop app, a Slack bot, Docker, or the AWS and GCP marketplaces. The published Enterprise (Cloud Hosted) plan costs $5,000/month for 20,000+ queries; the self-hosted tier is quoted on request.
