Columns

Columns lets you analyze data and create visualizations using natural language — no SQL, Python, or BI tools required. You upload a dataset or connect a database, then ask questions in plain English. Columns generates the appropriate charts, tables, and insights. The tool understands context and can perform complex analysis: cohort analysis, funnel visualization, trend detection, and statistical tests. It suggests relevant visualizations based on your data type and generates narrative explanations of what the data shows. The collaborative canvas lets teams build dashboards together. Columns is particularly valuable for product teams, marketers, and analysts who spend more time wrangling BI tools than analyzing data. The generated SQL and Python code is visible, making it educational for those learning data analysis. Integration with major databases, warehouses, and analytics platforms makes it easy to connect existing data sources.
