If interested, I do recommend you read the book, but you can still get something out of this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EFaXx3pgaxM (it's a summary masquerading as a review).
David this looks fantastic. I can’t wait to play with it.
Just on the GDPR front, our DB also has customer data. We currently host on heroku. Does the data we pull in / process using retool go anywhere else except for where we point it?

I imagine adding a phone number to your Google account is more about Google having a particular phone number explicitly linked to an account for their information graph rather than for security reasons.
Does anyone other than those evaluating applications (i.e. YC staff) have access to these applications, the ideas they contain or any prototypes which may have been submitted?

Chas was kind enough to call me and not only explain their product, but also to educate me on HIPAA compliance in general from a legal standpoint (his background) – answering all my questions until I had a really good grasp on it and pointing me in the right direction to learn more.
(I'm working on a product that may eventually use this – left my email on their website and Chas got in touch and we ended up on a Skype call)
