Ask-your-data agent
The situation you are probably in
Every question worth asking queues behind the one person who can write the query. How many of these did we do last year, which customers have not ordered since spring, what did this cost us in March. Each one is a request, a wait and a reminder, so most of them are never asked at all.
What we do about it
We put a question box over the database you already have. The model's job is to turn a question into a query; it never produces the number itself, because the database does the arithmetic and cannot round in your favour. Every answer shows the query it ran, so a sceptical finance person can check it rather than take it on trust. Questions the data cannot answer come back saying so.
Typical engagement. Two to four weeks over a database that already exists, then a monthly line to widen what it can answer as people find the edges.
Where this already runs
Running inside a catering business built from thirty years of paperwork: staff ask about customers, past events and pricing in plain English and get an answer from the live records, without opening a spreadsheet or asking anyone to build a report. The same database holds the priced menu the business quotes from.
Most builds of this shape start with the two-week assessment: we map the process as it runs today, cost it, and write the scope. The fee is credited in full against the build.
Start with the two-week assessmentWhat you receive.
Concrete things, not outcomes on a slide. This list is the scope of the engagement.
- 1
A question box over your live records, for people who will never write a query
- 2
Every figure computed by the database, with the model writing the sentence around it
- 3
The query shown under each answer, so any number can be checked at source
- 4
A clear answer when the data cannot support the question, rather than a confident guess
- 5
Access rules, so a person only ever queries the records they are allowed to see
- 6
A log of what was asked, which shows you the reports worth building next
A good fit when
- Your records are already in one database, even an untidy one
- People wait on someone else to answer routine questions about the business
- The same handful of questions come round every week
The right starting point when
The answers are still in documents rather than a database. Start with document processing. Once the paperwork is one database, the question box has something true to answer from.
The same figures are needed every month, on a schedule. That is reporting automation: the report assembles itself and arrives, instead of waiting to be asked.
Two teams mean different things by the same word. The two-week assessment settles one definition per field first, so an answer means the same thing to everyone reading it. The fee is credited in full against the build.

Price it before you commission it
Put the hours the task takes today, the salary of the person doing it and any quote you hold through the payback calculator. It shows the yearly saving, the payback period and the arithmetic behind both. Free, and nothing is stored.
