Genie, our AI Analyst, can already tell you what changed in your numbers. It's never been able to tell you why, because the why almost never lives in Databox.
Revenue drops 8%, and the real reason is a stalled deal in HubSpot, a pricing objection buried in a Slack thread, or a support ticket nobody flagged. Right now, finding that out means leaving your dashboard, opening three other tools, and piecing it together yourself. Every time.
Next week, we're launching MCP Connectors. Connect your CRM, Slack, support desk, or any MCP server, and your AI Analyst gets that same context, right inside the conversation. Ask why a number moved, and it points to the actual deal or thread behind it, not just the number.

Hey Product Hunt 👋
Every AI tool has the same blind spot: it only knows what you tell it.
That's bugged me since we shipped Genie, our AI Analyst. It could tell you a number moved, but not why, because the why was never in Databox. It was in the deal that stalled in your CRM, the ticket spike after a release, the Slack thread where someone already explained it. MCP Connectors fix that. Connect your tools, and Genie pulls that context into its analysis. Then it can act on what it finds: update the deal, open the task, pause the campaign.
The acting part is where we spent the most time. Letting an AI touch your CRM or Slack isn't a small decision, and it shouldn't feel like one you made by accident. Nothing connects unless you turn it on, tool by tool, and you decide what needs your approval first.
Ship slower, earn the trust. That was the bet.
One question for you: what's one thing about your business you wish AI already understood, without you having to explain it every time? Not a feature request, just the thing. That's the list we're building from.

I want to point out a small but super useful detail: permission settings are super detailed for each tool (toggle for allow/needs approval/blocked). This sounds like a small thing, but it's super useful cause nothing is locked in place and you can change the settings as you go depending on which data you want to bring in there.
I love using Databox for analysis by asking it questions and this feature allows it to actually look at numbers from other tools, not just metrics (there is a difference). It also understands things like which deals are open in your CRM or what's on your project roadmap, so I really encourage marketers to try it out and see how much of a difference that context makes for them.

@carmenstrelec Thanks, Carmen! You nailed the difference. Metrics tell you what happened. The open deals and the roadmap tell you why, and what's coming next. For marketers that's huge: when Genie, our AI Analyst, knows a campaign is tied to a launch that just slipped, the drop in signups suddenly makes sense.

Its strange how the setup itself is boring, but in a good way. Just pick a connector, click connect, authenticate and you are done...no config screen, no deep dives into the docs and spending time googling on how to make it work. Even for a custom MCP server there is just one extra step, paste the URL and the rest of the form shows up once it validates, if you have connected it anywhere else, it will be just as simple to get it working in Genie.
Big congrats to the team for building this! Unlocks insane amount of possibilities with Genie now 🚀
Congratulations on the launch!
