Database Chat

Database chat is a conversational interface where you ask a database questions in plain language and get answers back as text, tables, or charts.

Database chat turns querying into a conversation. Instead of opening a SQL editor, you type "how many orders shipped late this month?" and follow up with "now break that down by warehouse"–the system keeps context across turns, the way a colleague would. This matters because most questions about business data are follow-ups: the first answer raises the next question, and a chat interface keeps that loop fast. It is the difference between filing a ticket with the data team and just asking.

In practice
