Hey there - I work on the Amplitude product team, and it sounds like we could help. Amplitude is a self-serve product analytics solution that also handles marketing and subscription analytics. We just launched a new update Amplitude Made Easy (https://www.amplitude.com/easy) that offers expert templates, out-of-the-box insights, and the ability to use AI to ask analytics questions in plain English. You can also self-serve answer questions using our charts without needing to use SQL.

You can bring data in lots of ways without heavy data engineering—you can use one snippet of code to get started with our SDKs, connect directly to your data warehouse, batch upload data—it's flexible based on how your company works :)

Lots of PMs work without a data team and pull their own data. It is a huge time sink. However, it's also a time sink talking to a data team, waiting, and getting back less than what you were hoping for.

I assume you're solo or small - my question for you is whether you need that much data. Heavy data analytics is less important the smaller you are.

I noticed this is an issue, even for a technical person like me, sometimes writing SQL queries takes a lot of time. I am working and improving the text-to-SQL feature that I added to UXWizz: https://docs.uxwizz.com/guides/ask-ai

This is more for website analytics, but I am thinking I could add a way to store arbitrary data too (custom events, not necessarily related to a browsing session on your website).

I'm a developer advocate at Metabase and you can visualize data super fast without needing deep sql experience. You can use our query editor and even see the sql its building behind the scenes. If it's helpful here is a link https://www.metabase.com/features/query-builder

Hi,

If you are looking for an SQL generator that can handle common analytical questions, I recommend www.mitzu.io. (i am the founder)

It is like Mixpanel + Chartmogul combined in a single tool, but it autogenerates SQL data on top of your "event tables".

Have you tried combining dbt with Metabase? It's a game-changer for automating insights without heavy SQL work. Super efficient!
