The only Spreadsheet that Answers Your Questions and Speaks your Language – Data Without the Analyst

You’re in a meeting. The numbers are on the screen, but no one can answer the real question: Why did this happen? Your analyst is booked. Again.
This is the last-mile problem in data: the final, most important step in the journey from raw numbers to actionable insight. It’s not about access to data, but the inability to interpret it at the moment. We’ve built modern pipelines, cloud lakes, and sophisticated dashboards, but most business users still can’t get what they need without calling someone. That delay stalls decisions and turns proactive teams into reactive ones.
Why Real-Time, Self-Serve Data Remains Out of Reach
Despite the hype around AI and business intelligence, most tools fall short for the average user. Dashboards are often static, overly simplified, or cluttered with irrelevant KPIs. Platforms require SQL fluency or analyst mediation. Cloud-only solutions raise security concerns and restrict flexibility, especially in industries like healthcare or manufacturing, where local data governance is critical.
In the words of McKinsey, “By 2025, data-driven enterprises will outperform their peers—but only if they can activate data across the organization” (McKinsey). That activation requires accessibility… something today’s systems simply don’t offer.
Enter Lunagen Orcasheets: Natural Language Meets Millions of Rows
Lunagen’s Orcasheets is a reimagined way to engage with data, no analyst required. It’s a local, AI-powered tool that allows anyone to converse with complex datasets in plain English. Imagine a spreadsheet that thinks like an analyst and speaks your language.
Natural Language Queries: Ask questions like, “How did sales change after the promo?” and get real answers, instantly.
Local-First Processing: Your data never leaves your machine, ensuring maximum privacy and compliance.
Offline Availability: Use Orcasheets on the go—no cloud required.
Enterprise-Secure: No shadow data sharing or external API risks.
We didn’t just build a faster BI tool. We built a fairer one. As Harvard Business Review puts it, “You may not need a data scientist—if your tools are smart enough to interpret for you” (HBR).
Why Democratizing Data Matters Now
Data has long been hoarded by technical teams. But real decisions (product tweaks, operational shifts, and customer responses) happen in real time. Orcasheets level the field, giving everyone the power to ask smart questions and get smarter answers.
As I, the founder of Lunagen, often say, “Just like the PC democratized computing, we believe tools like Orcasheets will democratize decision-making.” It’s not just good business—it’s a social imperative. In a world demanding agility, the future of data must be inclusive.
Real Use Cases, Real Impact
E-commerce Sales and Inventory Reconciliation: “What were net sales after returns last month?”
Finance and Marketing: “How did Q2 margins shift after the promo?”
Factory Floor: “What’s the current defect rate by machine line?”
Energy Management: “Which buildings are using too much air-conditioning?”
Banking: “Which accounts have the highest credit risk?”
These insights used to take hours, or never get asked. Now, they’re available in seconds.
The Future of Data is Personal, Local, and Conversational
We believe data tools should empower everyone, not just analysts. Orcasheets isn’t just software. It’s a shift in how we relate to information: direct, intelligent, and secure.
