@Prithvi_Jadwani @ycombinator @DatostApp at traba 80% of the company was on it within a few months. ops, finance, cs, leadership. data team stopped fielding ad hoc questions all day and actually did deep work. it also learns from every correction so it gets better the longer you use it

@ycombinator @DatostApp @MaceoCk Datost better be more than just a fancy Slack bot tho. What's its actual compounding effect on org's data workloads?

Datost (@datostapp) is an AI data analyst in Slack. It keeps a semantic layer of your business definitions, crm, docs, and codebase so it knows what questions mean. 75.2% on the hardest public text-to-SQL benchmark, where Opus 4.6 scores 33%. Congrats on the launch, @maceock & @jasonhywang! ycombinator.com/launches/Pxg-d…

I’ve tried Datost. It’s soo easy to use - love what @MaceoCk and Jason are building!!

@Kaushal__marcus @ycombinator @DatostApp Thanks a ton!

@ycombinator @DatostApp @MaceoCk AI data analysts inside Slack feels like the next big shift. Datost building a semantic layer over CRM, docs, and codebase is the real unlock. 75.2% vs 33% on text-to-SQL shows what context can do. We’re moving from querying data to collaborating with it. Congrats to both

@bygregorr @ycombinator @DatostApp tbh the 24.8% is mostly Database Admin stuff that nobody’s asking Datost to do. on the questions teams actually ask it’s 91%. Do you think that because ai get ~40% wrong on SWE Bench people wont use them to code?

@ycombinator @DatostApp @MaceoCk I'm curious how you handle the trust gap when the AI gets it wrong on the other 24.8%. One bad query on production data and teams stop using it. Are you surfacing confidence scores or letting users verify the SQL before it runs?

We built something like this internally at YC, and I can't imagine living without it. Now any company can have it too.

@TsilisC @ycombinator @DatostApp No business context was preloaded. all the same tools were available

@birdabo AI users talk about model versions the way gamblers talk about slot machines that "felt loose last week"

@soorajchandran_ I actually built this and you can even use it from slack!! It hooks into your code base, docs, logs, db, and makes memories whenever it makes a mistake or is corrected so it learns the quirks in your data. Check it out at datost.com

2025 was the year accurate intelligence became cheap and extremely powerful, giving engineers an Iron Man suit to do more than ever before. 2026 will be the year that AI leverage separates great engineering teams from the rest. So how do we prioritize AI leverage at @Traba_Work? Enter Roomba Rumble. Roomba Rumble is our way of celebrating engineers who maximize “Roombas” — background agent–led PRs that require minimal attention but have massive impact. Here’s some things we accomplished with Roombas in Q4: @TanzirisHere decommissioned our legacy event handling service, identifying migration targets and methodically working through them week-over-week. @sumeetbnsal replaced our legacy test infrastructure, cutting our CI times in half, and built Claude sub-agents to support our infrastructure. @Solidous became the first responder for operators' feature requests. Asks that once sat in a backlog now get shipped before others on the team even see them. @MaceoCk built a data analyst agent that generates research reports directly in Slack, turning guesswork into informed decisions. Other side quests have spanned the gamut: root-causing and patching noisy alerts, optimizing sluggish endpoints, even a Slackbot that randomly pairs teammates across functions to keep the culture tight as we scale. How did we celebrate them, you ask? With a turnover chain, of course. At Traba we celebrate the engineers who choose ambitious quests and see them through. Ultimately, we’re building a culture where force-multiplying AI leverage is owned by every engineer. If you want to apply frontier AI to the supply chains that stock your fridge, deliver your packages, and fill your prescriptions, come join Tanzir, Sumeet, Moreno, Maceo, and the rest of the team.
