Indent works as a data analyst for your team: it explores the schema, writes the query, runs it read-only, and presents the results — no SQL from you.
Query and explore
Connect a database from Settings → Integrations. Indent supports PostgreSQL, BigQuery, and ClickHouse. Databases are always organization-scoped. See Connecting your database.
Once a database is connected, ask a question in plain language. Indent searches the schema, inspects tables, writes the query, and runs it read-only — it never writes to your database. If a column name is off or a join doesn’t match, Indent corrects itself and reruns. Results appear inline alongside the SQL that produced them, and you can download them as CSV.
Ask follow-up questions against the same data, refine the query, or pivot to a different table in the same session.
Charts and reports
Indent generates charts inline when a result is clearer as a visualization — bar charts, line charts, and stacked bar charts.
Indent also writes up a full analysis from the data it queried. Ask for a case study on a customer’s product usage and Indent produces a written summary with key stats, quotes, and supporting charts, all from the same session.
Start from Slack
Mention @indent in a Slack channel and ask a data question directly:
@indent How many organizations signed up last week, broken down by day?Indent runs the queries and replies in the thread. See Working with Indent in Slack.
Move analysis into code
When an investigation surfaces a bug, the same session can continue into a code fix. Indent already has the context — the queries, the data, the root cause — so it can move into the codebase and open a pull request. See Writing code.
