Michael #1: Briefer: Dashboards and notebooks in a single place

Notebooks and dashboards with Python, SQL, scheduling, native visualizations, code generation, and more.
In Briefer, you can:
- Create notebooks and dashboards using Markdown, Python, SQL, and native visualizations.
- Build interactive data apps using inputs, dropdowns, and date pickers.
- Generate code and queries using an AI that understands your database schema and your notebook's context.
- Schedule notebooks and dashboards to run and update periodically.
- Create and test ad-hoc pipelines using writebacks.
Briefer vs. Traditional BI Tools: Briefer is better than traditional BI tools because it's faster and more flexible, thanks to Python.
Briefer vs. Traditional Notebooks: In Briefer, you can run SQL queries against connected data sources directly in your notebook. Then, Briefer will automatically turn your query into a data frame and store it in a variable that you can use in your Python blocks.
