Plain-English analysis is real. Governance and correctness still aren’t free.
Useful options
- Notebook + AI (Hex-class) — teams that already live in SQL/Python
- Upload-a-CSV chat (Julius-class / ChatGPT data analysis) — quick exploration
- BI NLQ (ThoughtSpot-class) — exec questions on a governed warehouse
Pair any of these with a frontier model when the question is messy. For coding the pipeline itself, use whatever leads the LLM board that week.
