The Creator

Describe a dashboard in plain English. Get one that actually works.

“Describing a dashboard and embedding the result in a client deliverable without touching a spreadsheet feels like working in the future. Basedash makes data storytelling accessible to people who think visually, not in SQL.”

Composable data skills so your AI agents always understand your business

“As someone who regularly needs quick data visualizations without writing SQL, auto-generated dashboards from a natural-language query sounds incredibly useful. Less time fighting with chart config, more time actually analyzing.”

Write a chart the same way you write a SQL query — from Hadley Wickham

“Self-contained HTML output with inline SVG is the right format for sharing data stories — no dependencies, no runtime, just open the file. For newsletters, reports, and presentations, being able to generate a chart directly from a query without a Python script in between is a workflow improvement I'd use daily.”

GPU-accelerated OCR server hitting 1,200 pages/sec with TensorRT and PP-OCRv5

“For creators bulk-processing scanned documents or building PDF-to-content pipelines, the headline numbers are impressive but the C++/CUDA setup barrier is real. Unless you're processing hundreds of thousands of pages, the complexity isn't worth it. A managed OCR service or even Tesseract with a good wrapper will get most content workflows to 80% without needing a beefy GPU server.”

Natural language to live investing dashboards — backtests, macro, and models in seconds

“The ability to generate a shareable interactive dashboard from a natural language prompt is genuinely exciting for anyone who writes financial content or manages a Substack portfolio tracker. No more fighting with Sheets or Notion embeds.”

Open-source autonomous BI agent that pulls data, builds dashboards, and takes action

“As a content creator who drowns in spreadsheets trying to understand what's working, a tool that lets me ask 'which video format drove the most subs last month' and get a chart — without knowing SQL — is genuinely exciting. The UX is still very dev-facing, but the underlying capability is exactly what non-technical creators need.”

Open-source data catalog that ships as a single binary — with MCP built in.

“For smaller data teams drowning in undocumented tables and mystery pipelines, Marmot is a genuine quality-of-life upgrade. The UI is clean and modern — rare for OSS data tools — and the search actually surfaces context you'd otherwise need to Slack a senior engineer for.”

Open-source AI agent that reasons, queries, charts, and acts on your data

“The notebook-style reasoning breakdowns are genuinely well-designed — you can follow every step Anton takes and understand why it made each choice. For content teams that need to self-serve on analytics without bothering data engineers, this is a much friendlier interface than learning SQL.”

Google's 200M-param foundation model for time-series forecasting, now open-source

“Demand forecasting for content calendars, audience growth modeling, newsletter send-time optimization — the intersection of time-series prediction and content strategy is bigger than most creators realize. The fact that this is free, open-source, and requires no training data makes it actually approachable for solo operators.”

Google's zero-shot time series forecasting model, now with 16k context

“For content creators tracking engagement trends, ad performance, or audience growth, having a zero-shot model that can forecast without a data science team is genuinely empowering. Hook it up to your analytics data and stop guessing.”
