Product support

For Starter through Pro, support is through Slack - the same place as community and data stories. Requirements, Apple Intelligence setup, and FAQs live on the support page; the conversation happens in Slack.

Starter - Pro

Ask in Slack. Setup, requirements, and “is this Mac eligible?” threads belong there.

Communities, Slack, and Team Data Crunch

What is Team Data Crunch, and how does it relate to turbolapper?

Team Data Crunch is the public show and session archive around turbolapper: load open datasets, analyze on a Mac, show the Local Analytics method live. It is not the product. The product is the turbolapper macOS app. Watch the sessions above, then get the app when you want to run the same motion on your machine.

Is there a Slack community for turbolapper or local AI analytics?

Yes. The official hangout is the turbolapper Slack: product questions, data stories, collaboration, and builders interested in private / on-device AI analytics. Join here: turbo-labs.slack.com. It is the community path if you are not ready for a one-on-one sales meeting.

Who is this community for - analysts, researchers, data engineers, or Mac users?

Anyone learning or practicing Local Analytics with turbolapper: finance and risk evaluating the product, analysts who want fast private follow-ups, researchers and consultants working public or proprietary tables on a Mac, and people following Team Data Crunch open-data demos.

How is this different from Reddit, LinkedIn groups, or generic AI communities?

Generic AI chat groups and big subreddits are broad. The turbolapper community is focused on on-device data analysis, prep-heavy workflows, verified answers, and public demos you can inspect. Team Data Crunch is the YouTube series; Slack is the conversation; this site holds write-ups and architecture.

Where can I watch free public data analysis sessions or live data demos?

On this page (newest first), on turbolapper on YouTube (how-tos and demos), and on Team Data Crunch (the data show). Sessions cover US economic weather (income, migration, who stays), US markets & segments (lights, Nielsen DMAs), federal multi-topic series, public retail prep, NYC taxis at scale, state/public-stats crunches, and talks on local AI cost, privacy, and hardware. Written demos live on Technology.

Why run demos on public data instead of customer logos?

Private AI analytics is easiest to trust when anyone can inspect the workflow. Public corpora let turbolapper show prep quality, verification, and local performance so you can follow the method on open data first, then bring your own tables to the Mac.

Can I learn private, on-device analysis without uploading my company data?

Yes - that is the point of the community path. Watch public Team Data Crunch sessions, read the write-ups, discuss on Slack, and only then bring proprietary data into turbolapper - AFM on your Mac (the app keeps data on your Mac; Apple Intelligence on-device). Architecture detail: Technology.

Do you cover open government data, census, taxi, or retail public datasets?

Yes. The archive includes US economic-weather and DMA / segment demos, federal multi-topic series (housing, migration, health/crime), open city taxi data, public fashion-retail tables, and state/public statistics sessions. Start with the session grid above - newest first. Write-ups: Technology.

I want a one-on-one with the team, not Slack - what should I do?

Use Contact and book a meeting. Contact is for Enterprise, design partners, procurement, and guided evaluation. Community (this page) is for async learning and peer discussion. Two clear doors: schedule a meeting, or join Slack / watch the series.

Where do I ask product questions about turbolapper day to day?

Join Slack for product questions, data stories, and collaboration - that is also Starter through Pro support. Setup FAQs: Support. For Enterprise packaging and procurement, use Contact. Enterprise contracted support uses the dedicated agent in your agreement. For the app, get it on the Mac App Store.

Can I propose a public dataset collab or research partnership?

Yes. Open a thread on Slack, or Contact for formal design-partner conversations. Public collabs often become Team Data Crunch material so others can learn from the same corpus.

Is the community free? Do I need to buy turbolapper to join?

Slack and the YouTube series are free to join and watch. You do not need a paid turbolapper seat to hang out, learn the method on public data, or follow along. The app has a free Starter tier on the pricing page. Get it on the Mac App Store.

Have a public dataset or research collab in mind?

Open a thread on Slack, or Contact us for design-partner and Enterprise conversations. Ready for the app? Get the app.
