Shape

Your AI data analyst.

Visit Shape

Shape is an AI data analyst that lets users query their database in plain English, addressing the delay and rigidity of ad-hoc requests and dashboards when teams need specific data points. It interprets questions the way an analyst would, generating advanced SQL including complex joins and unions, and returns answers that state assumptions and caveats alongside the results. The system improves with each question over time.

Capabilities include a Slackbot for fast answers, automatic chart generation, and an option to request review from an analyst. Shape can also be embedded into products through its API and React components for AI-powered analytics and dashboards. It combines GPT-4 custom agents, dataset pre-analysis, and reviews; credentials are stored with industry-standard encryption, and the product holds SOC 2 Type I certification.

Shape is offered in Starter, Team, and Enterprise editions, each with a 30-day money-back guarantee. The Starter and Team plans include a set number of users with additional users available at a per-user monthly rate, while Enterprise includes unlimited users, a Microsoft Teams bot, and white-glove onboarding. All plans include the AI data analyst, ad-hoc query handling, the Slackbot, SOC 2 Type I, and dedicated Slack support.
