Probably (Tool)
Probably is a local, privacy-focused data agent that replaces LLM guesswork with deterministic mathematical validation for tabular data analysis.
Decoder
- Deterministic: A system that produces the same output for the same input, ensuring mathematical results are reproducible rather than probabilistic or randomized.
- Sycophancy: A tendency of AI models to agree with the user's incorrect premises or biases rather than reporting factual, data-supported results.

THE VERIFIABLE DATA AGENT
Probably is a secure, local app for accurate data analysis using natural language.
Explores and reports quickly over billions of rows.
Determines verifiable answers to any data question, just ask.
Connects to any data source: local files or a massive data warehouse.
Builds understanding of your business context with every question.
Built Different
Refuses to Guess
Unlike pure LLMs, there's no guesswork or sycophancy. Reports are deterministically verified to ensure figures and statistics are present in your data.
Data Stays Private
Your sensitive data stays entirely on your machine or in your network. Cloud AI only powers reasoning.
Does real math
Mathematical tasks are delegated to a local, processor-optimized compute engine for lightning fast calculation - not an LLM.
Any Data Source
Supports local CSV, JSON, and Parquet, or connect directly to your warehouse: Snowflake, BigQuery, Postgres, and more.
Understands Data Quality
Spots outliers. Missing values. Inconsistent formats. Warns you before problems compound.
Builds Understanding
Learns your context and business over time. Smarter with every interaction.
For Every Role
Generate reports as a CEO, automate EDA as a Data Scientist, or debug pipelines as an Engineer. One tool. Any role. Any workflow.
Answers to all your questions
How is this different from ChatGPT or Claude?
Chatbots are designed to seem helpful and make you feel good. Most of the numbers they produce are made up. Probably is a purpose-built data agent capable of accurately analyzing large amounts of data via rigorous statistics. It will not hallucinate math and it will report only what the data supports.
Can I trust the answers for high-stakes decisions?
Accuracy and verifiability are foundational design constraints of this product. Every action the agent attempts is run through a series of deterministic validators. All outputs are checked letter for number against the actual computation traces executed by the engine. Any outputs that fail validation are rejected for revision. You can see this happening live in the product. Once the agent builds an artifact, that calculation is persisted and can be reproduced across any client in your organization.
How much does it cost?
Probably is extremely affordable; you can use it on a pay-as-you-go basis or via a subscription depending on your needs.
What if I need an answer to a question right now?
No problem. Upload a data file or quickly connect to any data warehouse securely, ask your question, and get human-grade charts and reports within seconds. No waiting for the data team, and no need to learn another complex tool. Best of all, no need to teach yourself statistics.
Do I need my data team to set this up?
Start immediately with any CSV, Spreadsheet, JSON, or Parquet file that you have access to. Probably can handle as much data as you can fit on your hard drive or your data warehouse. No row limits, no size limits. When you're ready to connect to your data warehouse, just ask your team for credentials and you'll be up and running in minutes.
What types of files are supported?
CSV, JSON, Parquet, and spreadsheet files work out of the box with no setup required. You can also connect directly to Snowflake, BigQuery, Postgres, MySQL, MariaDB, ClickHouse, RisingWave, and more. Support for PDF and more coming soon.
What about data security and competitive intelligence?
All analysis happens locally on your machine and your files never leave your control. No cloud uploads, no vendor access to your competitive data. Not even we can see it. Cloud LLMs only power the reasoning—your data never leaves your device.
What if my question is too complex?
It won't be! Just ask in plain language. The agent handles complex analysis behind the scenes and gives you clear answers. If it can't answer based on your files, it tells you exactly why—no guessing, no assumptions. Probably never silently ignores, transforms, or modifies any of your data without explicit instruction.
