Ask HN: Would you use an NLP interface on top of Mixpanel?

7 points by blaurenceclark ↗ HN
I'm building a new analytics tool called VUE, http://vueanalytics.co and we're working on an NLP interface to your data.

Instead of building out entirely on our own we're looking for user's on Mixpanel, Flurry, etc. who would like to ask questions such as "how many users have used our app 4 out of the last 7 days" and much more, and get an answer back from our NLP engine.

Any of you on HN interested in trying it out?

It sounds like a great product. However, leaning too much on other companies can get tricky if they decide to cut off the firehose. A previous startup that I worked at got burned by the Twitter Cards API. Perhaps carrying the same concept over to SQL/NOSQL databases (by no means trivial) could be the difficult problem to solve that goes from zero to one, to steal a line from Peter Thiel. That being said, I'd be interested in learning more.
