Welcome to Shadowfax
Your AI data analyst that speaks your language. No SQL writing required—just conversations that turn into insights.
What is Shadowfax?
Shadowfax is an AI agent for data work. Simply describe your intent, collaborate with the agent on a plan, and watch it transform, analyze, visualize, and synthesize your data—transparently and intuitively. You get sophisticated analysis done in minutes, not days.
Chat with your AI analyst and watch as it builds Views, creates charts, and delivers insights
How It Works
1. Talk to Your Data
Ask questions in plain English using @mentions to reference your data.

2. AI Creates Views
The agent writes SQL Views for you automatically. Each View is a reusable transformation you can inspect and build upon.
3. Get Insights Immediately
See your data in tables, charts, and dashboards. Everything updates automatically when your source data changes.
Understanding Your Workbook
When you work in Shadowfax, everything lives in a Workbook—your analytical workspace for a project. Here's what you'll find inside:
Sources Your original data (CSV uploads, database connections). These are immutable—Shadowfax never modifies your source data.
Views SQL transformations the AI creates for you. Each View is a step in your analysis pipeline. Click any View to see the SQL code and data preview.
AI Tables Special Views where AI adds intelligent columns—classifications, extractions, sentiment analysis, and more. Perfect for tasks SQL can't handle.
Visualizations Charts and graphs powered by your Views. From simple bar charts to complex Sankey diagrams, all created through conversation.
The Reactive System Change your source data? All your Views update automatically. Fix an early transformation? Everything downstream recalculates. No broken formulas. No manual updates.
