# Menza: AI data analyst, YC W26

Work by Baked Design Studio.

- Y Combinator: W26
- Services: Product design

Menza is an AI data analyst for consumer brands. It connects to their data, answers questions in plain language and surfaces insights before you ask.

Menza's users are non-technical, and the team felt their earlier designs were not cohesive or polished enough. Baked redesigned the web app from scratch, sharing a full overhaul four days after kickoff, then built the design system the team develops from.

Your co-pilot for strategy.

## Insights come to you

Home leads with what Menza has noticed: alerts, suggested actions, scheduled tasks and pinned widgets. Spotlight lets Menza check in on what to focus on, like a quick note to an intern.

## Ask, then keep working

Chat moved into a large right panel that stays open beside the dashboard. Answers show their data sources and assumptions, and widgets can be edited by just asking.

## Data in, reports out

Connecting a source takes one click. Reports are set up in plain words: pick a dashboard, say what you want to know and why, and choose who gets it by email or Slack.

## Learn about the user first

New users answer a short survey about their company, role and how technical they are. Menza uses it as context for its answers.

## What they said

> "In love with the new report experience - absolutely smashed it with that one." (Subaan, Menza)
