Mason

Mason, established in the fall of 2021, created a data tool accessible both on the web and as a Mac app. The product initially featured a collaborative SQL editor that learned from every query, a shared query library, and real-time dashboards. After six months of development, Mason launched their alpha version, which quickly attracted a waitlist of 1500 organizations. The company assembled a team of four skilled engineers to drive innovation. In January 2023, Mason introduced an AI experience, repositioning their product as an AI-powered SQL editor. This new iteration emphasized collaboration with features such as ‘pull requests for data,’ a multiplayer editor, code comments, and a shared query library. The ‘learn from every query’ feature generated significant excitement among users. Additionally, the AI Assistant allowed users to generate and edit SQL using plain English, enhancing the overall user experience.
