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. [Make a query]( Sponsored By AI builders: There's a new security standard in town and you'll need to find out what it is, if you need it, and how it works.
