Ask your database questions in plain English without exposing data

Type a question about your data and AI writes the matching database query, without ever seeing your actual records.

How the work actually flows

A straight line.

The problem it solves

You want quick answers from your business database, but writing database queries yourself takes technical skill you might not have on hand. Sharing your raw data with an AI tool also feels risky if it holds sensitive customer information.

Who it fits

Business owners or analysts who need answers from a database without exposing sensitive records to AI.

How it works

  1. You type a question in a chat window
  2. The system loads only the structure of your database, not the actual data
  3. AI writes a database query based on the structure and your question
  4. The query runs directly against your database
  5. You receive both the AI's answer and the formatted results
What you get

Answers pulled straight from your data

You get plain-English answers pulled directly from your database, without exposing any of the underlying records.

What you get

A plain-English answer plus a formatted result table, without your raw data ever reaching the AI.

What you need

A database (such as SQLite or MySQL) and an OpenAI API key.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
