## Overview
Shape is an AI-powered data analyst designed to help businesses query their databases using natural language. Instead of writing SQL or waiting for manual analysis, users can ask questions in plain English like "New subs in the past month?" or "What's our visitor-to-lead conversion rate?" and receive instant, nuanced answers with supporting analysis. The tool interprets questions with analyst-like reasoning, providing not just raw numbers but also complex SQL queries including joins and unions, while clearly stating assumptions and caveats.

Shape integrates seamlessly into existing data stacks and can be accessed via web interface or Slack bot for real-time query responses. It learns and improves with every question, making future queries more accurate. The tool is designed for teams who need to reduce the burden of ad-hoc data requests. A notable limitation is that specialized data modeling or highly custom analytical requirements may still need human analyst review.
