How accurate is this and how do you handle things like joins, etc from a simple query?
Alex Zaytsav
@allnick Accuracy depends in the query complexity and how big is database structure(bigger database -> harder to provide high accuracy). But it's all matter of time: we can achieve the same high accuracy for big database as for the small one, but it will take more time to teach the system to understand requests properly. Great questions about joins: right now system require some configuration to be able to handle JOINS, but it need to be done only once.

Awesome guys, keep rocking 🚀

@maximabramchuk Thank you so much Maxim!
Lena Kuznetsova
What happens if I misspell a word in the question? Will database still be able to address the question?
Alex Zaytsav
@lena_kuznetsova Great questions, Lena! Sure, our system has built-in spellchecker which can handle mistypes and 'fix' them so the database will get a correct question(query).

With SQL you have a lot of capabilities, wouldnt this limit how much you can do? Its sometimes not easy to explain in plain English what youre trying to accomplish in SQL, so would this just be a version of SQL that is more readable?
Alex Zaytsav
@andrey_lukin our first goal is to make data accessible for non-technical people, who doesn't know SQL at all. So we are not trying to repeat all SQL features in English, but building an interface to make data really accessible.

Cool. I need this. Thanks!

@askpf Thank you Patrick, we'd glad to help!

This is a super awesome product, Michael! Any thoughts on adding data visualizations to this?
Michael Rumiantsau
@javaughn12 thanks for the support! Currently we're focusing on the core API-based technology, that translates english to SQL. We don't provide any UI yet, but we help companies to build advanced dataviz tools in BI products.

Hi guys, what industries are you focused on? I once implement product that aimed to solve the same problem for e-commerce. Good luck guys, you product is much better and I would say, and I hope it will be THE solution of human-data access interface.
Michael Rumiantsau
@kuolldev Thank you for the kind words! We currently focusing on Business Intelligence, Enterprise software and Data Warehousing companies. But our mission is to make data accessible for everyone!
Danny Setiawan
do you guys offer slack integration? would be cool to be able to pull data from slack since a lot of companies use it for internal communication
Alex Zaytsav
@dsetia_1 good questions, Danny! Right now our algorithm is really focused on the relational databases and is a cloud solutions, so we don't provide a slack integration out of the box. But a good point is that using our system you can build your own slack-bot with such functionality!

Konstantyn Makarov
Great product! Can it allow to execute complex quiries for several SQL tables?
Michael Rumiantsau
@konstantyn_makarov Thank you Konstantyn. Sure thing! We support JOINs
