The problem it solves

You need a number or a breakdown from your company's data, but writing the query yourself isn't realistic and waiting on a developer slows everything down. By the time you get the answer, the moment to act on it has often passed.

Who it fits

Business owners or managers who need quick answers from a database without technical SQL knowledge.

How it works

  1. You type a plain-English question about your data
  2. The system loads the connected database
  3. An AI agent works out and runs the queries needed
  4. It returns a plain-English answer
  5. The conversation is remembered for follow-up questions
What you get

Plain-English answers pulled from your data

You get quick answers to questions about your business data without writing a single line of SQL.

What you get

A plain-English answer pulled directly from your database.

What you need

An OpenAI API key and access to your database file.

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.
