The problem it solves

You need a number from the business database, but you don't know SQL, so you either wait for someone technical to run the query or dig through a report yourself. That back-and-forth slows down decisions that should take a minute.

Who it fits

Business owners or managers who need quick answers from their database without writing SQL or waiting on a developer.

How it works

  1. Starts when you type a question into the chat
  2. AI reads your database structure and turns your question into a database query
  3. Runs the query against your database
  4. Remembers your last few questions so follow-ups make sense
  5. Replies with the answer in plain English
What you get

Database answers without writing a query

You get instant answers from your database by typing a plain-English question, with follow-up questions understood in context.

What you get

A direct, plain-English answer to your question, pulled live from your database.

What you need

A MySQL database 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.
