Statisticians Workbench

AI-powered tools for statistical research โ€” combining databases, artificial intelligence, and software development to help domain experts work smarter.

What Is the Workbench?

The Statisticians Workbench is a web application that helps researchers perform statistical analysis on their data. It brings together database management, AI assistance, and data visualization in one place โ€” so you don't need to be a database expert, a statistician, or a software developer to get answers from your data.

"AI used carefully acts like glasses for the mind โ€” experienced workers can remain productive despite needing to use other skill sets that they cannot have time to become competent in."

Key Concepts

๐Ÿ—„๏ธ Databases & DuckDB

Connect your own PostgreSQL or MySQL databases, or upload CSV/Excel files. The Workbench uses DuckDB (via Quack Proxy) for fast local analytics on uploaded data.

๐Ÿค– AI Assistants

Four specialised AI agents help with general chat, database design, dataset cleaning, and analysis rules. Connect to Ollama locally or remote OpenAI-compatible providers.

๐Ÿ“Š Visualizations

Create interactive charts from your datasets using Plotly. Bar charts, scatter plots, line graphs, and more โ€” all configurable through the UI or AI-generated suggestions.

๐Ÿ“‹ Recipes

Reusable, repeatable analysis workflows. A recipe bundles data preparation rules and analysis steps so you can re-run them on updated data and get consistent results.

๐ŸŒ Multilingual

The Workbench supports English, French, German, Spanish, Russian, Chinese, Thai, Japanese, and Dutch. Users select their preferred language in Profile settings.

๐Ÿ”’ Local-First Privacy

Designed to run on your own hardware. Your data stays on your machine โ€” no cloud services required. Ideal for healthcare, government, and commercial data with privacy requirements.
