What is Shape?

Shape describes itself as an AI data analyst. Users ask questions in natural language, such as sign-ups in the past month or campaign ROI, and the engine turns them into queries against their own database.

The site says the engine interprets questions like an analyst: it handles advanced SQL including complex joins and unions, and it states assumptions and caveats alongside the answer, for example how a term like last month was interpreted.

The product is pitched as an AI data bot that reduces the burden of ad-hoc query requests on data teams, and it works with common data stacks. The site offers booking a call rather than listing pricing.

Shape lists data sources it works with under a section about the user's datastack, but the site does not publish plan prices.
