We Launched on Product Hunt! 🚀 Introducing CamelAI's Embeddable Chat-with-Data Experience

We're thrilled to announce that camelAI launched on Product Hunt on July 25, 2025! 🎉

After months of development and feedback from our amazing community, we're excited to share our new embeddable iframe solution that lets you add a full-featured "chat with your data" experience to your product in just 5 minutes.

Check out our Product Hunt launch and watch our launch video to see camelAI in action!

What is CamelAI?

CamelAI started as a powerful web application that transforms natural language questions into SQL queries, complete with interactive visualizations and full transparency into the analysis process. Think of it as your AI data analyst that can connect to any database (Postgres, MySQL, ClickHouse, DuckDB, Snowflake, BigQuery, Supabase) and instantly generate insights from your data.

Our web app features:

• Smart SQL Generation: Natural language to SQL conversion with an iterative agent loop
• Rich Visualizations: Interactive Plotly charts generated automatically from query results
• Full Transparency: Every SQL query is displayed for complete visibility into the analysis
• Multi-Database Support: Connect to virtually any data source
• Federated Queries: Join data across completely different database systems
• Dashboard Creation: Save and auto-refresh insights for ongoing monitoring

Introducing CamelAI's Embeddable Iframe

But here's where things get exciting. We built an embeddable iframe because our users kept asking for one thing: the ability to embed chat-with-data directly into their own products.

"Chat with your data" is rapidly becoming an expected feature for SaaS products, especially those dealing with analytics, business intelligence, or any form of data management. The problem? Building and maintaining a robust AI-powered data analytics experience is incredibly challenging and time-consuming.

Why We Built the Iframe Solution

The reality is that custom data requests pile up fast. Your users constantly ask for new insights, unique chart combinations, or one-off analyses that aren't worth building into your main dashboard. Meanwhile, your engineering team is spending months building what should be a straightforward feature.

We've seen this pattern across startups and Fortune 500 companies alike. Teams want AI features—specifically "chat with your data"—but it's not central to their core business. They'd rather buy than build, and that's exactly what our iframe solution delivers.

What Can the Iframe Do?

Our embeddable iframe gives you access to all the power of camelAI with none of the development overhead:

Core Analytics Engine

• Iterative Agent Loop: The smartest AI analytics possible with multi-step reasoning
• Database Connectivity: Direct connections to all major database types with automatic schema understanding
• Federated Queries: Join data across completely different database systems using DuckDB
• Python Code Execution: Run arbitrary Python analysis on query results in a secure environment

Advanced Features

• Artifact Management: Persistent storage of query results and visualizations
• Row-Level Security: Your users only see their own data—we handle the security complexity
• Real-Time Streaming: Interruptible and resumable streaming with live status updates
• Thread Management: Full conversation history and context management

Customization Options

• UI Theming: Match your branding with custom color schemes, fonts, and light/dark mode support
• Response Modes: Configure technical detail levels based on your users' expertise
• Show all thoughts (full technical detail)
• Hide technical details (simplified for business users)
• Final answer only (just the insights)
• Feature Control: Hide SQL queries, disable model switching, customize chat recommendations

Meet the Developer Console

Getting started is incredibly straightforward thanks to our developer console, where you can:

• Manage API Keys: Generate and control access tokens
• Connect Data Sources: Set up database connections with our guided setup
• Configure Knowledge Base: Add context that gets appended to every user thread
• Create Reference Queries: Establish consistent metric definitions and schema mapping
• User Interface Customization: Create a color theme to match your branding
• Preview Your Setup: Test your iframe immediately with session authentication

The console includes an instant preview feature—once you connect a data source, you can immediately see how camelAI will work with your data, no API integration required for testing.

Fine-Tuning CamelAI for Your Product

The secret to making camelAI work perfectly with your specific data lies in two key features:

Knowledge Base

This is your highest-priority information that gets appended to every user thread. Use it to provide context about your business, explain data relationships, or set guidelines for how the AI should interpret your data.

Reference Queries

These are your saved, vectorized query examples that ensure consistent metric definitions. When users ask questions, camelAI searches through your reference queries to maintain consistency in how metrics are calculated and presented.

Together, these features fine tune camelAI into a domain-specific expert for your product.

Ready to Get Started?

We've processed over 10,000 data analytics questions last month alone, and we're trusted by both startups and Fortune 500 companies.

Here's how you can embed camelAI in your product today:

1. Visit our developer console at camelai.com/api
2. Generate an API key and connect your data source
3. Configure your knowledge base and reference queries
4. Customize the UI to match your branding
5. Embed the iframe wherever you'd like (compatible with Next.js, Node.js, and more)

The entire process takes 5 minutes or less—compared to the months it would take to build an AI data analyst from scratch.

What's Next?

We're just getting started! Coming soon: Dashboard saving functionality that will let users save their favorite insights directly from the embedded iframe.
