Watching the demo, it doesn't look like the kind of product that's really usable for anyone who doesn't know SQL. If you need to know SQL to fully appreciate the tool, you're not going to want the tool.

yeah, the description of the product itself makes very little sense, let alone on a business level.
but we learn by doing and we learn only by failing, so this will look great on their resumes for future jobs and give them priceless knowledge for their future startups.
although i would argue that this american degeneration of business, where every paper company is a startup, and every startup needs investors to make the product or service, must die, so that we can have actually viable products and not waste developer hours on nonsense.

Yeah, I was expecting a low-code/no-code way to build queries in a GUI and wondering why any company wouldn't jump at that (at least based on my own experience). Instead, I feel like this is a really nice SQL "IDE"
