ADA: an open-source AI data analyst that shows its math

The Problem with LLMs and Math

I watched my sister paste a CSV into one of our LLM overlords and ask a question, then reword it and get a different number. That’s the problem with letting an LLM both read your question and trust its math.

How ADA Splits the Jobs

ADA splits the two jobs. Drop in a CSV or Excel file, get a dashboard, anomaly detection, a forecast, and plain-English answers, all calculated locally using pandas (locally in the sense of never leaving the server and going to the AI APIs). The LLM layer that you can use (it’s optional) only sees column names and never your rows, and the whole thing works with zero API key if need be (not the LLM part, of course).

License, Status, and Goals

  • MIT licensed, solo-built, open to contributors (in fact, would need help to make it move out of LLMs and have a few open issues).
  • I wish to make it as LLM-free as possible, as I want to make it deterministic.
