Julius

What it is for

Julius is a hosted data-analysis assistant: the official docs visualization still (see the cover: line / bar / scatter / histogram / box / pie / area / stacked / violin charts of sales data) is the product. Use it when the job is ask a question of a spreadsheet or CSV, not when you want a generic chat.

It is not open source. Free exists (daily credits). Plus is the first public paid card we could copy in full.

What makes it unique: the cover is Julius’s own Data Visualizations grid — real analysis output, not the empty composer.

Key features

• Analysis charts — official docs grid of line, bar, scatter, histogram, box, pie, and violin plots (cover).
• Tool chips — Browser, Agent, Build Website, Video, Image, Excel, Slides on the official still.
• Credits — Free is 25 daily plus a welcome grant; Plus raises the monthly pool.
• Files / data connectors — sidebar Library and Data Connectors on the same UI.
• Plus — $20/month or $16/month billed annually; 2,000 credits on the card we copied.

Who it's for

Best fit: analysts who will upload a sheet and pay Plus when the Free daily credits run out.

Poor fit: people who want a cited paper assistant (Elicit) or a general chat (ChatGPT).
