What the galaxy is saying
Fun quotes for now—real customer stories coming soon.
"Finally, a SQL client faster than the Millennium Falcon. Made the Kessel Run in less than 12 parsecs... I mean queries."
"RRWWWGG RRWWWGG! (Translation: The AI understands my schema better than C-3PO understands me.)"
"In my day, we had to write SQL by hand, uphill both ways. This AI generation... impressive. Most impressive."
"Judge me by my query size, do you? With Mako, even small queries, powerful results bring."
"I find your lack of collaboration features disturbing... oh wait, Mako has those. Carry on."
"Help me Mako, you're my only hope! These DataGrip license fees are destroying the Rebel Alliance budget."
