Hal9 vs STORYD

A conversational AI solution that empowers your team to chat with your data, enabling self-service analytics.

Just type a question, and Hal9 will answer with facts, charts, maps, and interactive controls that leverage your data. You can also save and share the results with the rest of your team.

This way, business users get faster insights while data teams increase their productivity!

STORYD turns a short write-up about your topic into a structured business presentation in about 60 seconds. It is built for professionals who need executives and decision makers to follow a clear story instead of sorting through cluttered slides.

You describe your topic in a few sentences, choose a best-practice business communication structure, and STORYD returns a polished deck. From there you can rephrase, brainstorm, shorten, or lengthen the narrative, add multimedia elements, and apply branded themes before presenting in the browser or exporting.

STORYD is a product of Data Advantage LLC, founded by Zack Mazzoncini and Michael Grimm. The two met at the University of Washington in 2004 and previously built Decisive Data and Ignite Intelligence Solutions together.

The tool fits consultants, analysts, sales teams, and anyone who regularly presents data-backed updates to leadership and needs layouts tuned for business storytelling.
