Company Launches

Hi! We’re building Tile.

About Us

Jenica and Jessica have collectively spent 9 years data wrangling at Palantir. We have built AI models and analytics products for both commercial enterprise and defense customers. Before Palantir, Jenica studied Math/CS at Harvard, and Jessica studied CS at MIT.

Problem

1.   SQL is verbose and hard to use for exploratory data analysis

Data analysis is an iterative and investigative process. While SQL remains the most powerful language for working with data, SQL syntax results in long code blocks that are unforgiving when trying to quickly explore data.

2. Plain english is good for describing a high level query, but not the right UI for refinement

AI has been an incredible technology for fetching the right general data and columns on a well-defined and metadata-rich semantic layer. However, analysts must write long descriptive sentences to refine the query.

Solution

Tile allows anyone to explore and investigate their data in modularized steps without the clunky syntax of SQL.

Once the insight is found, convert your tiles to a SQL block so you still have the robustness of code when building reports to share this insight with others.

Vision: The future is AI-enabled data analysis and report building. However, for it to work, explainability will be key. Tile will allow AI to show its work with step-by-step tiles and allow end users to fine-tune its responses.
