Mode
Dataki and Mode solve different halves of the problem
Mode pairs a SQL editor with notebooks and report building, and is well established with analytics teams. Dataki targets the request that reaches those teams in the first place — the question is asked in plain English, answered from the warehouse directly, and kept as a dashboard without an analyst in the loop.
Why Dataki?
- Zero learning curve: Ask questions in plain English. No SQL or proprietary formula languages required.
- Instant dashboards: AI generates fully interactive, multi-layered dashboards in seconds.
- Designed for business teams AND data teams. Democratize analytics securely.
- Modern, beautiful default styling that you'll be proud to share to executives.
