What Findly does

Findly.ai is the co-pilot for Business Intelligence that revolutionizes how businesses understand and interact with their data. By creating an engaging chat environment, it empowers decision-makers to gain insights, request reports, and generate visualizations based on their company's metrics. This seamless interaction is made possible by integrating a metric layer that comprehends all your company's metrics. The chat-based exploration simplifies complex data analysis, allowing users to generate comprehensive summaries with a single click, which can be exported to various formats. Furthermore, with the introduction of scheduled chats and action-triggered automations, Findly.ai enhances the autonomy and efficiency of decision-makers. It's more than a tool; it's a decision-making operational system aiming to facilitate decision-makers in achieving their KPIs while spending less time waiting for data.

Co-pilot for Business Intelligence

What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

We are building Findly.ai, a chat-based interface for business intelligence that lets decision-makers ask questions, request reports, and generate visualizations from their company's metrics. Our product connects to a metric layer that understands how the company defines KPIs and data. It turns complex analytics into a conversational experience where users can even schedule chats and automate actions, reducing their reliance on data teams and speeding up insights.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

We all live in London, England, United Kingdom, and the company will remain based here after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

We are based in London because that's where the three of us live and have built our team. It's a strong tech hub with access to our customer base in B2B analytics.
