Very impressed

I started using Columns.ai yesterday and was already able to generate a few nice data visuals. It takes some getting used to though, so I have watched a few videos on their channel on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/@columnsai/videos . I'm still trying to figure out a few things but I think that will come with a bit of experience with the app. I would love for the owner to hold webinars from time to time, to help us learn some of the new or less obvious ways of getting the most out of the app.

Great way to share stories with audiences

Commenting as a heavy Tableau user and a consultant: think about Columns AI not as a Tableau or BI replacement, but rather a convenient and beautiful way to tell and share stories by numbers. The two things I loved about Columns: 1. easy to share with audiences via links, 2. ability to restrict embeds to specific domains for those who share via webpublishing. While some charting options may not be available, Columns AI options would cover many ways to tell stories and the process may be easier for those who are not doing visualizations professionally. Here is my example: https://columns.ai/visual/view/baomIprbVowXmm. Huge thanks to the founder, Shawn, for the great product concept and being very responsive.

what a great tool!!

I was using columns for my final university thesis. It is an incredible tool and so easy and intuitive to use. I could not recommend the tool enough. Fortunately, I personally talked to Shawn a few times super nice founder and very patient to explain to me how the tool works etc....

Superb & founder is very professional

My first day using it and I am extremely pleased with this purchase (after a string of disappointments with some other purchases)

This is an underrated product and I can see this maturing well if enough support is there. That can only be possible if reviews and feedback help ensure a better product for all. The features and integration with AI is very promising.

I would love to see a better formatted dashboard for sharing but it’s a minor quibble as this one is a welcome addition to my purchases.
