[DataChad](https://datachad.streamlit.app/) reports 321 GitHub stars, 73 forks, and 8 open issues, last pushed Feb 9, 2024. [aisheets](https://huggingface.co/spaces/aisheets/sheets) has 1.6k stars, 140 forks, and 12 open issues, last pushed May 26, 2026. Figures are from public GitHub metadata via [DataChad's repository](https://github.com/gustavz/DataChad) and [aisheets's repository](https://github.com/huggingface/aisheets). | | [DataChad](/tools/gustavz-datachad.md) | [aisheets](/tools/huggingface-aisheets.md) | | --- | --- | --- | | Tagline | Ask questions about any data source by leveraging langchains | Build, enrich, and transform datasets using AI models with no code | | Stars | 321 | 1,638 | | Forks | 73 | 140 | | Open issues | 8 | 12 | | Language | Python | TypeScript | | Adopt for | DataChad lets you ask questions about various data sources using embeddings, vector databases like Activeloop, and langchain. | Aisheets is a no-code platform that uses AI models to build and transform datasets, suitable for users looking to manipulate and enhance data with ease without writing any code. | | Persona | - | - | | Runtime | - | - | | License | Apache-2.0 | Apache-2.0, which allows free use, modification, and distribution of the software but includes clauses that require preservation of copyright and license notices. | | Categories | Evaluation & Observability, Model Training, Vector Databases | Data & Retrieval, Evaluation & Observability | ## Trust and health _Sourced signals - not a safety guarantee.
