If you want to make educated decisions on things like product direction, design variants, or copy, you need to back it up with data. Take this newsletter, for example. Every week, I dive into the data to see what resonated with you all and how I can make it even better. 

For a long time, querying data has been left to people with experience in things like SQL, and if you’re a solo founder or a small team, this isn’t always possible. Since AI exploded onto the scene, though, that’s begun to change. 

Originally launched back in 2023, Outerbase is a solution built to help founders and their teams easily navigate their data with AI. A big part of how it does this is with its AI chat assistant “EZQL” which lets you query your data in plain English. 

Now, after participating in the 2023 YC winter batch, the team is back with Outerbase 2.0. So what’s new? 

Mobile love: According to founder Brandon Strittmatter, Outerbase has been redesigned from the ground up with a specific focus on being mobile-friendly so you can have a data scientist in your pocket. 

More databases: Outbase now supports over ten database connections, including MySQL, Postgres, and MongoDB, so there is no need for any pesky database migrations before using it. 

New data studio: 2.0 comes with a new data studio with some new features, including an optimized GPT-4 client, an SQL co-pilot, and AI-powered data visualization tools. 

Alongside that, the team also launched native Mac and Windows apps, an SQL sandbox so you can drop in a CSV to build your database, and more.
