After chat and code, analytics is the biggest opportunity in AI and it's still completely untapped with our current tools.
As founders, data scientists and operators we deserve something better.
That's why today we're launching @morahq 👇🧵

Had a @Neko Health scan today in London. Quick thoughts on the experience: One hour, £299. Heart and circulation checks, an eye exam, a full skin scan, grip strength, blood pressure, blood work, and a doctor who walks you through all of it. You leave with a full profile and a list of what to work on.
First off, it's an incredibly well done product experience. You know those apps you try where it's clear the founders optimized every single onboarding screen? This is like that but as an IRL experience. The space is beautiful. The staff handoffs are seamless. Everything is there right when you need it: a bottle of water, a phone charger, slides for your feet, etc. It was a reminder of how the little "surprise and delight" details really matter.
Most of all, the part that got me is that it's one and done. Normally this is like five appointments, five tests, five follow ups, etc. Blood drawn one place, skin exam another, etc. Neko does it in one hour all in one room, all wrapped in that same product experience. The most innovative part feels like the skin scan, which tracks your skin over time on revisits. I'd never been able to see that across years of annual exams.
I'll be honest that I already do a lot of this stuff, so not much in the results was new to me. But bundling it all into one visit, at this price, with an experience that's actually pleasant, feels like a genuine innovation and a product worth paying for. I signed up again for next year on the spot. Congrats @eldsjal @shak @HNilsonne

@ngeloxyz damn that's wild. I have being getting a lot more spam calendar invites in general since getting the .com and nothing you can do about it feels. Wild vector for spam 😂
also im sure ergo founders are trying their best just a faux pas here not piling on.

@pladevall this was entirely random
fwiw if you ask, I am usually open to sharing! but my (and the team’s) calendar is sacred

Curious about second order effects of this.
Hair on fire - seems like more obvious problems - so more competition (ie customer support tool).
Latent demand - harder to spot but more “insight based” (ie coders already looking for code snippets on stack overflow let’s just bring that to the ide → cursor)

@rabois what founders do you think are the best at being aggressive at the expense of some increased burn rate?

Today we are introducing Mora Connectors!
Typically data tools only let you connect you to your database. We do that ✅
But your insights are only as good as the data you have access to..
With Mora you can connect to more than 750 connectors and pull all your data into one place. This includes:
• Stripe
• Salesforce
• HubSpot
• PostHog
• And 700+ more
You can connect them directly via Mora or route them to your warehouse and access them via Mora. Your choice!
Try it out today!

Anthropic published the most honest post I've seen on agentic analytics. Here's the summary if you don't have 20 minutes.
They run most internal business analysis through Claude now. Accuracy is around 95%!
When they first pointed Claude at the warehouse with no context? 21%. Same model 🤯
The gap was basically infrastructure...
Specifically skill files that tell the agent where to look. Canonical datasets so "revenue" maps to one table instead of twelve. A maintenance habit so docs don't rot when schemas change.
I believe that Anthropic's fix works because they have senior data engineers treating skill maintenance like production code. Most teams don't have that dedicated folks doing that.
So what do you actually do?
If you're trying to get your own data analyst working I would:
- Write down your top 5 metrics and how you actually count them
- Make the agent ask clarifying questions before it runs a query
- Show the SQL on every answer so someone can spot-check it
- Save corrected queries and feed them back as context
- Watch for stale tables and docs that haven't been updated in months
That's basically the loop and how we built @MoraHQ

@SKhandale46852 @Zeeto_Again Most of the comments have been pretty interesting! 😂

@Mohitstwt @eportet Open to any and all feedback! DMs are open or xavier @ mora . com. Happy to also create the slack channel if you skipped it during onboarding.
English

@pladevall @eportet Hey @pladevall @eportet
I had a few more questions/feedback as I was exploring the tool.
Let me know if there's any another medium you'd prefer.
English

Let’s be honest analytics needed something like this since a long time.
I met Xavier 3 years ago and was really impressed by his approach to make things easier for non-technical users.
Mora looks great! Curious to see what the pricing is. Hope it isn’t another expensive BI tool

@LaurentVaissade @btctothestars Main lesson from posting this tweet btw so many different opinions 😂
English

@pladevall @btctothestars Ahah true! The fact is there is no real price on a domain :)
English

Here's the story of how we paid $0 for a domain worth ~$250k
So at the beginning of the year we explored renaming in order to launch 2.0 of our product Mora.
We explored different options and we ended up falling in love with the name Mora.
But a premium 4-letter dot com can be very very expensive!!
We're just a young startup. We don't have that kind of cash. We need to hustle!
I spent hours writing down options, asking Claude how to negotiate, etc. And then i thought…
Wait what if we did it in exchange of equity? We had great early traction so far so it didn't hurt to ask.
The folks we talked to about it thought we were crazy! Including our domain broker (shout out Justin!)
We presented the option to the seller who ended up being open to it (luckily!)
We went through some diligence and ended up closing it!
I think a great name compounds the same way a great product does. So this effort was worth it!

@NiklasMunch It’s also the unit of measurement of a syllable (cool if you’re into linguistics) and there are a few more

@pladevall Oh didn't know about the Spanish word, but I love fruits.

There is so much noise and slop today that I realized we need a strong filter before any one in the team puts something out there (while preserving speed & boldness).
Before we ship anything, a product, a post, a message, we try to run it through a filter.
For @MoraHQ these are the things we won't compromise on.

How we decide what we ship at Mora 👇

@josevc you're right but it was a tradeoff worth it to us in the moment. Would be super happy to make $$$$ for this investor. At the end of the day they took a bet on us.

@pladevall $0 in cash doesn't mean it was free, if you paid >$100k in equity it was probably too expensive, most 3letter dotcoms sell under that mark.
