From question to governed answer in seconds.
Four steps, fully transparent. You see the metric matched, the SQL generated, the latency, and the citations — every time.
You ask
In plain English. No SQL, no ticket queue.
Pillar searches the registry
Looks up the matching governed metric — definition, sources, filters.
Generates read-only SQL
Bound to your analytics model, statement timeout, no writes.
Returns the answer
With citations, latency, row count, and a follow-up suggestion.
Why this isn't another text-to-SQL gimmick.
Most "AI on your data" tools hand a language model raw schema access and hope for the best. Ask Your Data is built on the curated metric registry behind every Pillar dashboard — so the same numbers your board sees are the ones you can ask follow-ups against.
Governed, not guessed
Every answer is grounded in a curated metric from the registry — not a one-shot text-to-SQL guess. The answer card cites the metric, table, and columns used so you can verify in one glance.
Audit-ready by default
Every question, generated SQL, latency, citation, and feedback is persisted. Nothing happens off the record — perfect for finance, compliance, and post-hoc review.
Read-only by construction
Queries run inside a read-only transaction, locked to the approved analytics model, with statement timeouts and semicolon rejection. No way to mutate data, no surprise side effects.
Ask the question. Trust the answer.
Bring every system into one trusted foundation, ship dashboards that move the business, and let your team ask the follow-ups in plain English.
