Mode is a collaborative analytics platform that combines SQL query editors, Python notebooks, and data visualisation tools in a single workspace — enabling data teams to conduct analysis, share findings, and build dashboards without switching between separate tools. Mode was acquired by ThoughtSpot in 2023, with integration of ThoughtSpot's AI search capabilities ongoing.
Mode AI generates SQL queries from natural language descriptions — data analysts describe the analysis they need in plain English and Mode generates the appropriate SQL against the connected data warehouse. For ad-hoc analysis requests that arrive from business stakeholders, AI query generation reduces the time from question to data pull.
The collaborative workspace is Mode's historical strength — reports created in Mode are shareable web-based documents that combine SQL queries, Python analysis, and interactive charts in presentation-ready format. Non-technical stakeholders view Mode reports as interactive dashboards without needing analytics software.
Python notebook integration allows data scientists to use pandas, matplotlib, seaborn, and other Python data science libraries within Mode for more complex analysis beyond SQL, with results displayed in Mode's collaborative report format.
Flashback, Mode's report management feature, tracks which reports are used, by whom, and how frequently — enabling data teams to understand which analyses are driving business decisions and which are unused, prioritising maintenance effort accordingly.
Mode Analytics AI runs as document analysis llm software built around text and data workflows. Users typically start with a prompt, upload, or connected data source, and the underlying model handles the heavy lifting before returning a result you can refine or export. It's available on web.
