Entry priceFrom $49 per seat per month (Desktop Ultimate); Website Chatbot from $149 per monthFull pricing detail

AskYourDatabase is a conversational data analyst that turns plain English questions into SQL against relational, NoSQL and warehouse databases and returns answers, tables, charts and dashboards, as a desktop app or a chatbot embedded in the buyer's own product.

AskYourDatabase turns plain English questions into SQL, runs the query against a live database connection and returns the answer as text, a table or a chart, with the SQL shown alongside. It connects to PostgreSQL, MySQL, Microsoft SQL Server, Oracle, MongoDB, Snowflake, BigQuery and ClickHouse, and a dashboard builder turns a description into tables, charts, forms and metrics that can read and write the connected data and be shared by link or embedded.

It ships two ways. The desktop app for Windows and macOS connects from the user's own machine with credentials kept local. The Website Chatbot embeds in the buyer's own product so its customers can query their own data, with per user row level policies and table restrictions, a messages console for admins, a chat webhook and a REST API for asking questions, opening sessions and reading message history. Accuracy comes from a training set the buyer maintains of short documentation entries on business terms and verified question and SQL pairs.

The Security docs name Anthropic as the default model provider with OpenAI as the alternative, and the Desktop plan lists Claude and GPT models. Credentials are encrypted, connections use TLS, and read only database users are recommended. The homepage shows SOC 2 and ISO 27001 badges linking to a trust center, while the Security docs describe a SOC 2 Type 2 audit expected to report in December 2025. On premise hosting is offered on the Enterprise plan. The company is ChatWithData Inc., a Delaware corporation.

Use cases & customers

Databases: PostgreSQL, MySQL, Microsoft SQL Server, Oracle, MongoDB, Snowflake, BigQuery and ClickHouse. Embeds as a website chatbot or iframe dashboard; REST API (ask, new chat, messages) with bearer keys; a chat webhook posts each user message to the buyer's URL.

In practice

A customer success lead asks for the ten accounts with the steepest drop in usage this month, and AskYourDatabase writes the SQL, runs it against the warehouse, and returns a ranked table with a chart.

A software company embeds the chatbot inside its product so end customers can explore their own data conversationally, with row level policies restricting each account to its own rows and tables kept out of reach.

A backend engineer connects a production database with hundreds of tables through the desktop app, keeping credentials on the local machine, and uses it to draft, explain and refine queries.

Integrations & Tool Calling	Partial
AskYourDatabase connects to PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQL Server, Oracle, MongoDB, Snowflake, BigQuery and ClickHouse, runs the SQL it generates against the live connection, and its dashboard builder can create, update and delete records in the connected database. The connectors are one class of system, databases, with no way to add other business applications or custom tools. Sourceaskyourdatabase.com/docs/dashboardread 2026-09-28
Workflow Orchestration	Partial
Each question runs the product's own sequence of writing SQL, executing it, and returning the result as text, a table or a chart, and the dashboard builder turns a description into components. No branching, conditions, multiple agents or a flow the buyer configures is documented. Sourceaskyourdatabase.com/docs/api-askread 2026-09-28
Knowledge Grounding & RAG	Partial
The AI reads the connected schema plus a training set the buyer maintains of short documentation entries (400 characters each) on business terms and verified question and SQL pairs, which the Chatbot docs call the knowledge base for AI. How entries are retrieved is not described, and nothing shows the store scaling past what fits in a prompt. Sourceaskyourdatabase.com/docs/trainread 2026-09-28
Human Oversight & Guardrails	Partial
Admins constrain what the agent may query by hiding tables and setting row level policies per chatbot user, can ban a chatbot user, and are advised to connect read only database users, with queries sanitized before they run. No step where a person approves a query before it executes is documented. Sourceaskyourdatabase.com/docs/access-controlread 2026-09-28
Security, Identity & Governance	Partial
Access controls are documented: per user row level policies and table restrictions on the chatbot, encrypted credentials, TLS and IP allowlisting through a fixed gateway. The attestation is unsettled, since the homepage shows SOC 2 and ISO 27001 badges linking to a trust center while the Security docs say they do not assert that a SOC 2 Type 2 report has been issued and name no ISO certificate, and no SSO is documented. Any available audit report is shared on request through the Enterprise team. Sourceaskyourdatabase.com/docs/securityread 2026-09-28
Observability & Auditability	Partial
Users see the SQL and results behind each answer, admins read every customer's message history in a messages console, and the API returns message history and streams the generated SQL, execution status and reasoning. No audit log, trace view or export of the agent's steps is documented. Sourceaskyourdatabase.com/docs/chatbotread 2026-09-28
Memory & State Persistence	Partial

Deployment & Data Residency	Full

Triggers & Channel Coverage	Full
The Website Chatbot is embedded in the buyer's own product so the buyer's customers query their data by message, which starts the agent with no one at the buyer asking it to act; the desktop app is invoked by the buyer's own analysts, and no schedules or alerts are documented.

Model Flexibility & Routing	Full
