How it Works

From question to insight
in seconds

Four simple steps. No training, no SQL, no waiting for the data team.

1
Step one

Connect your data sources

Point Talking 2 Data at your databases, files, or APIs. We auto-discover your schema in seconds — tables, columns, relationships, data types. No manual mapping needed.

PostgreSQL Snowflake BigQuery Excel/CSV REST APIs
Schema discovered
📋 orders id, customer_id, amount, date, status
👤 customers id, name, email, region, ltv
📦 products id, name, category, price, margin
📊 events id, user_id, event_type, ts
✓ 4 tables · 23 columns · relationships mapped

Step two

Ask your question in plain English

Type whatever you want to know, exactly how you'd say it to a colleague. Talking 2 Data understands context, handles ambiguity, and remembers your conversation history for follow-ups.

Conversational memory Business terminology Follow-up questions
💬 "Show me revenue by region for Q4 — compare to Q3"
💬 "Now break that down by product category"
💬 "Which customers drove APAC growth?"
✦ Each follow-up builds on the previous answer automatically

Step three

AI translates it to an exact query

Under the hood, our model generates optimized SQL or API calls tailored to your schema. You can always see and inspect the generated query — no black boxes. Results are executed securely and returned in milliseconds.

Optimized SQL Always inspectable Secure execution
Generated SQL
SELECT c.region, SUM(o.amount) AS revenue_q4, LAG(SUM(o.amount)) OVER (PARTITION BY c.region ORDER BY quarter) AS revenue_q3 FROM orders o JOIN customers c ON o.customer_id = c.id WHERE o.date >= '2024-10-01' GROUP BY c.region ORDER BY revenue_q4 DESC;
✓ Executed in 340ms · 5 rows returned

Common questions

Good questions deserve
straight answers

Do I need to know SQL?
Not at all. Talking 2 Data is designed for people who know their business, not their database. If you can write an email, you can query your data.
How does it connect to my database?
We use read-only credentials and encrypted connections. Your data never leaves your infrastructure — we run queries on your behalf and return results.
How accurate are the queries generated?
Very high — and getting better daily. You can always inspect the generated SQL, correct it, and the system learns your schema and terminology over time.
What if my question is ambiguous?
Talking 2 Data will either ask a clarifying question or show you the assumptions it made — so you always know what query ran against your data.
Can it join data from multiple sources?
Yes. You can ask questions that span your Postgres sales data and your CSV revenue targets at the same time. We handle the join logic automatically.
How long does setup take?
Most teams are querying their data within 15 minutes of getting access. We auto-discover your schema and you can start asking questions right away.
