About

We build AI tools that bring data closer to decisions

Founded in 2023 in Bangalore, Simplifying AI is building the next generation of data intelligence tools, starting with ChatPlotDB, an AI agent that lets anyone query databases in plain English.

Why we exist

The people closest to the problemwere the farthest from the data

Simplifying AI was born from a frustration most growing companies know too well.

Our founder, Prakash Chandra, was leading a technology team at a company with over 200,000 leads and 10,000 paying customers. The data was there, scattered across spreadsheets, siloed in databases. He built the pipelines to centralise it. But then came the real problem: the operations team who understood the business couldn’t query a database, and the developers who could write SQL didn’t understand the business questions.

Every insight required a back-and-forth: a ticket, a meeting, a wait.

When large language models became capable enough to translate natural language into accurate database queries, the path became clear. What if anyone in a company could just ask a question and get an answer, directly from their own data, in seconds?

That question became ChatPlotDB. And the company built to pursue it became Simplifying AI.

Our principles

The values that guidehow we build and what we ship

Three of them, because a list nobody can recite isn't a set of principles.

Data analysis shouldn't require a specialist

The people who understand the business should be able to explore the data themselves. We build tools that remove the SQL barrier without dumbing down the analysis.

Build in the open

Our chart library is open source. Our product roadmap is shaped by real user feedback. We believe transparency builds better tools and stronger trust.

Ship what's real

We're a small team. We'd rather show you a working product than a slide deck. Everything on this site reflects what we've actually built or are actively building.

The team

Four people,building from Bangalore

Small on purpose. Everyone here builds, and everything on this site is something one of them shipped.
