The open-source BI platform that turns your dbt project into a governed, version-controlled analytics engine.
Transform natural language into production-ready SQL and real-time data visualizations.
AskYourDatabase represents a paradigm shift in data accessibility, utilizing advanced Large Language Models (LLMs) to bridge the gap between complex relational databases and non-technical stakeholders. Unlike traditional BI tools that require manual schema mapping and drag-and-drop interfaces, AskYourDatabase employs a sophisticated schema-aware reasoning engine that understands foreign key relationships and metadata contexts in real-time. By 2026, the platform has matured into a comprehensive data operations hub, offering both a cloud-based interface and a secure desktop application that ensures data privacy by processing queries locally. Its architecture supports a wide array of engines including PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQL Server, MongoDB, and ClickHouse. The technical core leverages retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) to ensure high accuracy in SQL generation, minimizing the risk of hallucinated table names or logic errors. Its market position is unique as it serves as both a productivity multiplier for experienced DBA's and an absolute entry point for business analysts who previously relied on technical teams for periodic reporting. The platform's ability to generate instant Python-based visualizations from query results makes it a formidable competitor to legacy players like Tableau or PowerBI for ad-hoc analysis.
Uses RAG to inject database DDL into the LLM context window for highly accurate multi-join queries.
