FAQ
Frequently asked questions.
How do we know the AI's answers about our numbers are right?
Every answer comes with the exact query the AI ran, so it's verifiable, not a black box. We test against questions with known answers from your own data before anyone relies on it.
Can it write to or change our database?
No. Analytics access is read-only by design, with per-user permissions.
Do we need a data warehouse first?
Not necessarily. We work with whatever you have — Postgres, MySQL, SQL Server, spreadsheets, SaaS exports — and will tell you honestly if your data needs cleanup before AI adds value.
We already have dashboards. Why this?
Dashboards answer the questions someone predicted. This answers the question you have right now, without waiting for an analyst to build a new chart.
