Why watch
Ding is putting an AI analyst on top of the warehouses companies already pay for, so questions stop waiting in a ticket queue.
Ethan Ding is co-founder and chief executive of TextQL, an AI analytics company whose agent, Ana, answers questions over warehouses and BI tools by writing SQL and Python.
Co-founding TextQL with Mark Hay
Ding co-founded TextQL with Mark Hay, who serves as CTO. TechCrunch covered the company in 2024 as it aimed to add AI-powered intelligence on top of business data, according to TechCrunch.
Clearing the Analytics Ticket Queue
Ding’s pitch is that analysts should spend time on hard problems rather than repetitive queries. Customer stories on TextQL’s site describe revenue and analytics teams using the product to clear that backlog, while the commercial motion stays sales-led.
