Yes you are perfectly right. Our product pushes users to be selective on the tables they give access to a given agent for a given use-case :+1:

The tricky part is correctly supporting multiple systems which each have their own specificity. All the way to Salesforce which is an entirely different beast in terms of query language. We're working on it right now and will likely follow-up with a blog post there :+1:

Hi, you are right that things can go sideways fast. In practice, the data that the typical employee needs is also quite simple. So there is definitely a very nice fit for this kind of product with a large number of use-case that we do see provide a lot of value internally for employees (self access to data) and data scientist (reducing loads).

For complex queries/use-cases, we generally instead push our users to create agents that assist them in shaping SQL directly, instead of going directly from text to result/graphs. Pushes them to think more about correctness while still saving them tone of time (the agent has access to the table schemas etc...), but not a good fit for non technical people of course.

Hi, this is a fair concern. We're super early and working on a proper privacy policy as we speak. But we also provided some color about how we handle your data on our Discord. Copying it here:

``` The privacy section on the landing README remains true. We just send your requests to OpenAI and store them for debugging purposes but we don't fetch or store anything else than what is required to process your requests of course. XP1 being opensource you can also look at the code if needed, but happy to answer any question In short: - Requests (including the text dump of tabs you select) go to the Dust main platform - They are processed as part of a Dust app whose Run object is stored - The LLM query is sent to OpenAI (retention policy 30 days, not used for training) - The response is tored as part of Dust's Run object - The response is streamed back to the client ```
