Everything AskMe does for your team
From plain-language questions to auto-refreshing dashboards, here is every capability that makes AskMe the fastest way to get answers from your business data.
Ask in words, get data back
AskMe uses text-to-SQL technology to translate your everyday question into a precise database query. You type "top 10 products by revenue last month" and AskMe writes the SQL, runs it against your live data, and returns the answer as a number, a table or a chart.
There is nothing to install for end users. No formulas, no pivot tables, no waiting for someone who knows Excel. If you can type a WhatsApp message, you can use AskMe.
Six features that change how you work
Number, table or chart
Every answer can be viewed as a single number, a full table or a chart. Switch with one click. Download as Excel, CSV or an image for your next meeting. No reformatting needed.
Shows its working
Every answer lists the data source, the time period, the filters applied and any assumption AskMe made. If the answer looks wrong, you can see exactly why and correct the definition for next time.
Asks before guessing
"Orders placed or orders shipped?" When a question is ambiguous, AskMe asks a clarifying question instead of guessing. This means fewer wrong answers and more trust from your team.
Dashboards that stay fresh
Save any answer as a report. "Last week" always means last week, so the report never goes stale. It refreshes automatically and arrives on your dashboard, by email or in Mattermost on your schedule.
Learns your language
Teach AskMe what "active customer" or "our fiscal year" means. It remembers your terminology and uses it consistently from then on, so everyone in your company gets the same definition.
On your phone
AskMe works as an installable web app on any phone. Ask a question on the go and get a push notification when your scheduled report is ready. No app store needed.
