Here are the top 5 Generative AI startups in the Winter 2023 batch focused on Data & Analytics👇
1️⃣ Lume - "Automate custom data integrations with AI"
Location: New York
Lume is a no-code tool to generate and maintain custom data integrations. Users can automatically transform data between any start and end data formats.
"AI that builds your integration pipeline in minutes"
Lume uses AI to automatically transform data between any start and end schema, and pipes the data directly to your desired destination.
The no-code platform helps engineers build and maintain custom data integrations with AI. Whether you want to map multiple sources to your internal unified schema or connect to your third-party apps without manual mapping, Lume delivers.
Use Case Examples:
✅ Internal: Transforming separate data sources into one unified internal ontology
Ex: a unified schema between Salesforce, Hubspot, Quickbooks, and Pipedrive.
✅ External: Custom syncs between your SaaS apps

4️⃣ Helicone - "Open-source observability platform for generative AI companies"
Location: San Francisco
Helicone is an open-source observability platform for companies building with generative AI. With one line of code, companies log requests made to providers like OpenAI and monitor their costs, result quality, and latency.
"Instead of building tools to monitor your generative AI product, use Helicone to get instant observability of your requests."
Helicone logs your completions and tracks the metadata of your requests. It is an analytics interface for understanding your metrics broken down by users, models, and prompts with visual cards. It caches your completions to save on bills, and helps you overcome rate limits with intelligent retry techniques. Track costs, usage, and latency for GPT applications with one line of code.
Founded by Barak Oshri, Scott Nguyen, and Justin Torre. Barak brings machine learning expertise: 7+ years doing research, teaching, and engineering across Stanford AI Lab and Sisu Data. Scott brings UX and finance expertise: 4+ years across Tesla, Bain Capital, and DraftKings. Justin brings platform and full-stack expertise: 7+ years across Apple, Intel, and Sisu Data.

5️⃣ Turntable - "AI-native operating system for analytics teams"
Location: New York
Turntable is an AI-powered, collaborative toolkit that helps data teams find, contextualize, and transform data.
"Transform data at warp speed"
Turntable allows less technical analysts to build their own data pipelines. It helps data teams find, contextualize and transform data. Companies use their AI-native workspace to scale their analytics without hiring more engineers. It is a collaborative tool to create and manage data pipelines - built from the ground up with AI.
🔹 Built-in AI copilot
Turntable makes coding recommendations and writes first drafts of schema files and documentation
🔹 New ways to build your DAG
Query inline. EDA in one click. Even draft your dbt code in a notebook first
🔹 Collaborate in real time
The rest of your company can collaborate in their core tools, why can’t data teams?
🔹 Get the bird’s eye view
Easily view and search end-to-end lineage and documentation without having to open a different tool
Founded by Wally Gurzynskii, Ian Tracey, and Justin Leder. Justin led commercial data science at Cruise where he managed a team of data scientists that spent 70% of their time managing data pipelines in DBT. Ian was the tech lead for growth & data engineering teams at Pinterest and Stripe, where he had to build internal tools and hacks to get around data pipeline constraints. Wally led product for Twitter’s Home Timeline team, which would often be blocked on the creation of new metrics and data pipelines- slowing down product development and learning. Together, they started Turntable because they believe that generative AI has created an opening to build a new standard for data transformation tools.
