ADA - An open-source data analyst that shows its math
by•
I tried to automate a data analyst. Contribute to sainesrop in a CSV or Excel file. ADA cleans it, builds a dashboard, flags anomalous periods, projects a guarded forecast, and answers questions about your data.
The difference: every chart, every forecast, every chat answer traces back to a pandas calculation you can actually read. Nothing is a black box. Optional AI only ever sees your column schema, never your rows, and the whole product works with no API key.

the no-rows-to-AI thing is genuinely thoughtful, like a lot of tools just pipe everything through the model by default. being able to actually read the pandas underneath every chart is the kind of transparency that should be standard.
@durmumnda that’s the plan, I genuinely feel LLMs are amazing but we are forgetting the plot. A lot of things can be done with deterministic workflows and I think we can use LLMs to make them much stronger
Love the transparency angle, being able to read the pandas behind every chart is huge. One thing I'd love to see is a simple way to export the cleaned dataset along with the dashboard, maybe a toggle that bundles the transformed CSV and a short markdown report. Would make sharing insights with teammates who don't run ADA way easier.
@saniyekayoglsp that makes a lot of sense, I’ll add exports for cleaned data and reports over the weekend.
