The Data Analysis Challenge

You have data everywhere—spreadsheets, CSV exports, database dumps, reports—but extracting insights still feels like pulling teeth. You're either writing complex queries, building pivot tables, or explaining your findings to stakeholders who don't speak data. The gap between "having data" and "having answers" is frustratingly wide.

Data Analysis Pain Points:

Translating business questions into technical queries takes time
Dataset documentation is scattered or nonexistent
Communicating findings to non-technical stakeholders is challenging
Exploratory analysis requires constant context-switching
Cloud AI tools can't handle proprietary or sensitive data

How Elephas Enhances Data Work

Elephas bridges the gap between your data and your insights. Import data dictionaries, schema documentation, and even sample datasets. Ask questions in plain English, get explanations you can share with stakeholders, and generate documentation that makes your work reproducible.

Natural Language Data Exploration

Ask questions about your data in plain English. "What does the customer_status field represent?" or "Which tables contain revenue data?" Elephas answers using your documentation and data dictionaries.

Insight Documentation

Generate clear explanations of your findings for stakeholders. Transform technical analysis into executive summaries, methodology notes, and data stories.

Schema & Dictionary Management

Build knowledge bases for your data assets. Import data dictionaries, schema docs, and README files. Query across all documentation instantly.

Key Features for Data Analysts

Data Dictionary Intelligence

Import your data dictionaries, schema documentation, and ERD descriptions. Ask "What does this column mean?" or "Which tables have customer data?" and get instant answers.

Try: "Explain the relationship between the orders and customers tables"

Analysis-to-Summary Translation

Transform your technical findings into stakeholder-friendly summaries. Generate executive briefings, methodology documentation, and data stories from your analysis notes.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can Elephas connect directly to my database?

Elephas works with exported documentation and data—not direct database connections. This keeps your production systems secure. Export data dictionaries, schema docs, and sample queries to build your knowledge base.

Is this a replacement for SQL or Python?

No. Elephas complements your technical tools by helping with documentation, exploration, and communication. It won't write your production queries, but it will help you understand your data and explain your findings.

How do I handle sensitive data?

Use local AI models (Ollama) for complete privacy. Your data documentation stays on your Mac and is never sent to cloud APIs. Only add data you're comfortable analyzing locally.

Can my whole data team use this?

Yes. Each analyst can have their own Elephas setup. Share Brain exports to distribute common documentation and best practices across the team.

What kind of documents should I import?

Data dictionaries, ERD diagrams (as PDFs), schema documentation, README files, SQL query examples, methodology docs, and any tribal knowledge you've written down. The more context, the better.
