ADA: an open-source AI data analyst that shows its math

I watched my sister paste a CSV into on of our LLM overlords and ask a question then reword it and get a different number. That's the problem with letting an LLM both read your question and trust it's math.

ADA splits the two jobs. Drop in a CSV or Excel file, get a dashboard, anomaly detection, a forecast, and plain-English answers, all calculated locally using pandas (locally in the sense of never leaving the server and going to the AI apis.). The LLM layer that you can use (it's optional) but that only sees column names and never your rows, and the whole thing works with zero API key if need be (not the LLM part of course).

MIT licensed, solo-built, open to contributors (in fact would need help to make it move out of LLMs and have a few open issues).

I wish to make it as LLM free as possible as I want to make it deterministic.
