Overview
Askly turns messy data into clear answers. Upload or connect CSV, Excel, JSON, or other data sources, and ask plain-language questions ("Why did sales fall this month?"). The engine automatically cleans your data, summarizes it with stats and charts, and answers your questions in simple English. It also watches for anomalies and trends, explaining likely drivers without you having to dig through spreadsheets or write queries.
You get a working dashboard with data upload, automatic parsing, visualizations, and Q&A—all deployed and ready to extend. The system is built to scale from rule-based answers to LLM-powered analysis as you grow.
Mission
Askly — AI Intelligence Engine
What we're building
Askly is an AI intelligence engine that turns complicated data into decisions you can understand. People upload or connect data — CSV, Excel, JSON, later PDFs, images and live sources — and the engine cleans it, understands it, and answers plain-language questions ("Why did sales fall this month?"). It also watches for anomalies and trends automatically and explains likely drivers in plain English. The pipeline: Collect → Understand → Analyze → Predict → Explain → Alert.
Current focus
Shipped (all live at our published site):
- Landing page (2026-08-17): core positioning ("AI that understands your data. Connect any data. Ask any question. Find what matters."), six-step engine story, "Ask Your Data" killer feature, use cases, working waitlist signup.
- "Ask Your Data" demo at /demo: upload a CSV (or load sample data) → automatic parsing and cleaning, summary (stats, missing values, correlations, biggest movers), 3 auto-selected charts, and plain-language Q&A answered by a built-in rule engine. Fully client-side, zero external services.
