Eugene Levy is the founder and CEO of Retable.ai, a free data analysis tool. He wants to make data pipelines and analyses portable and reusable. The tool is as easy as Excel but powerful, as a true IDE, with no limits on data size, and fully automatable.

Hi, I’m Eugene Levy.


I built three startups on AI and big data, so I feel entitled to confess. I am so fed up with the complexities of modern data stacks.


⛔️ The amount of technical garbage (ghm.. sorry.. knowledge) we, data people, are supposed to master is staggering - orchestrators, connectors, data warehouse, SQL in all its beauty. We are told to learn Python, GitHub, and the best practices they say - oh my… 🤦


Data is not code. Professional analytics is not Python\SQL coding. We value our time, and time to value. We enjoy working with numbers, digging for answers, doing digital investigations, and delivering value to our business folks, not wasting time on coding. 🤷


Look, all professional jobs got their tooling - data scientists got their notebooks. Developers got their IDEs, and UX designers are happy with Figma. Why don't we, data professionals, have one? Where is the data people’s tool? The one that stays with us for our whole careers. The one that empowers you and can be used outside the company. Companies own tools, we do not. Why?


⚔ So I set out on the path to change that and reimagine what true professional visual data transformation tools should look like - that is how Retable.ai was born.


🥂 If you work with data you will want to see what we've been building in stealth for a year now. 🎁 We started from the first principles - make data pipelines and analyses portable and reusable. No matter where you work, locally on a desktop, in the cloud, or on top of a fancy data warehouse - you build it once, and it runs everywhere. 🌎


🎁 Retable.ai is as easy as Excel. Visual and accessible but powerful, as a true IDE, with no limits on data size, and fully automatable. 💪 We have 70 seats in our Early Adopter Program! https://www.retable.ai/eap


🎁 Finally. Why bother clicking buttons at all? Talk to our powerful AI - it does all that dirty boring prep work for you.

🤖 That’s what I call the data people’s tool. But wait! It would not be a people's tool if it is not free, right? So we made it…


💲 You can try it right now but we have a limited amount of seats 👉 Data analytics is going big and mainstream. Data people deserve the best tooling. Come join us to shape it together. https://www.retable.ai/eap
