What AskYourDatabase is
AskYourDatabase turns natural-language database questions into SQL, answers, and visualizations, with a desktop app for analysis and a website chatbot for embedding. It supports PostgreSQL, MySQL, Microsoft SQL Server, Oracle, MongoDB, Snowflake, BigQuery, and ClickHouse. Users can add schema explanations, business definitions, and verified SQL examples to shape how questions relate to their data. The product also supports natural-language dashboard creation, REST APIs, and integrations with messaging platforms including Slack, WhatsApp, Discord, and Microsoft Teams. Its embedded chatbot can serve websites or SaaS products with authenticated sessions and tenant-aware access policies. The desktop app stores credentials and runs generated SQL locally, while questions and necessary response data may pass through an AI provider gateway.
