Key differences

AI-powered vs point-and-click

Draxlr uses a visual query builder — you click through menus to build queries. AI for Database lets you type questions in plain English and the AI handles the complexity.

No complexity ceiling

Draxlr's visual interface limits query complexity. AI for Database can handle complex joins, aggregations, and time-series analysis because the AI generates the SQL for you.

Workflow automation

AI for Database includes full workflow automation with Slack, email, and webhook actions. Draxlr offers basic email alerts only.

Self-hosted deployment

AI for Database can run in your infrastructure. Draxlr is cloud-only.

How to migrate

01

Sign up for AI for Database and connect the same database you use with Draxlr.

02

Schema auto-detection works similarly — your tables are mapped automatically.

03

Ask your common questions in natural language instead of building them visually.

04

Recreate dashboards by describing what you want to track.

05

Set up workflow automations to replace Draxlr's basic alerts.
