How to Replace Count

Overview

Count is a collaborative analytics platform that combines SQL, Python, and visual exploration in one place. It connects to data warehouses and enables teams to explore data together using an AI agent that can analyze data, write queries, create visualizations, and edit canvases from natural language prompts. The platform emphasizes fewer questions left unasked through collaborative canvases, auditable AI analysis, and enterprise-grade governance.
