AI Data Analyst Chatbot vs PerSight

AI Data Analyst Chatbot is free, MIT-licensed software for self-hosted web use. It lets analysts and data practitioners explore structured datasets by asking questions in plain English, without SQL or extensive coding knowledge. Users upload CSV or Excel (XLSX) files, which are processed during the session and not permanently stored. Automated profiling covers columns, distributions, summary statistics, missing values, duplicates, and data-quality issues. Statistical analysis can surface variation, outliers, correlations, and patterns, and suggest statistical tests. Interactive visualizations accompany explanations and statistical insights. The project lists Streamlit, pandas, NumPy, SciPy, Plotly, LangChain, and Groq LLM (LLaMA 3.1). Running the app requires a Groq API key in the GROQ_API_KEY environment variable; the README directs users to install dependencies and launch Streamlit at localhost:8501. There are no SQL connections or team-collaboration features. Contributions are invited through forks, pull requests, or issues.
