I think you completely missed the point of this thread: rolling ones own data model is a non-negligible cost.

you missed the boat on natural language being the new interface

best orgs will own their data and have full history in version control so that it's easier for LLMs and humans to work with, not walled garden traps

Sure, depending on the particular product, having control and direct local access to the data would be desirable or deal breaker. But for this Clickup integration that's not so important to us (we can duplicate where necessary), while still using Clickup lets us use all the other features we can get via the web app.

(The emacs mode includes an MCP server)

Natural language and LLMs as a core corporate data repository is insane.
