Show HN: Natural Language to SQL interface to embed in your app
- davidsQL 10y agoI'm here to answer any question you might have.
- capex 10y agoClicking the 'Live demo' button is giving an empty page.
- davidsQL 10y agoHey, I'm taking care of it right now and let you know when it's up again. At the moment you can check our "Tour" page to learn more, and download.
- sbuttgereit 10y agoHi-- What is the business model you have? I've seen "free" prominently, but I'm sure there has to be a revenue plan in here somewhere given how the website is constructed.
- pmx 10y agoIs the live demo broken? Nothing seems to happen when submitting a query?
- davidsQL 10y agoHey pmx. We are having some difficulties with the online demo at the moment. We are working on it and it should be up soon! You can download the SDK and play with it, we would be here to support your every step.
- davidsQL 10y agoAnd more details,info and videos can be found here: http://docs.kueri.me http://docs.kueri.me
- netghost 10y agoIf you're curious, I found that you can look at the xmlrpc responses and see what it's sending back. Seems like whatever client side code they have is failing to convert those responses into an html table or whatnot. From what I can tell, it does seem to be doing something ;)
- davidsQL 10y agoThe DEMO is now up! http://kueri.me/demo http://kueri.me/demo
- oron 10y agoNice simple UX, looks great.
- davidsQL 10y agoGlad you liked it :)
- koolba 10y agoThis isn't something you'd expose to your end users right? It seems more targeted for in house analysts. If that's the case, why would one want to use this vs. having analysts use (or learn) SQL? Typing "Who's the highest paid employee?" looks cool but the equivalent SQL is simple as well. I'm not sure I could necessarily express a more complicated example in a natural language, and even if I could, it wouldn't feel natural.
- rpedela 10y agoI see two use cases. 1. Give non-technical people a way to answer their own questions using data in a database which would free up analyst time. 2. Give analysts a way to quickly answer a question and they only have to go to SQL for more complicated questions. It is faster for me to type "who is the highest paid employee" than the equivalent SQL even though the SQL is trivial because I don't have to look up the schema and my fingers are better at typing an English sentence than a SQL query.
- davidsQL 10y agoHey koolba, Most external users do not know how to code SQL (as well as some SQL developers... hehe). The ability to ask questions in various formats delivers an easy and simple UX. Use cases include: online banking and credit accounts, Human Resources recruitment staff, executive level officers who have ad-hoc spur of the moment questions, warehouse managers at IKEA.... and the list goes on. Here are a couple of interesting questions we have encountered in the past: 1. What is the average transaction sum for deals completed in June 2. Who are the top 5 employees with the best salary to sales ratio?
- alexk307 10y agoGreat idea, looking forward to the demo working
- davidsQL 10y agoThe DEMO is now up! http://kueri.me/demo http://kueri.me/demo
- bitwize 10y agoIt reminds me of the "Assistant" feature of Q&A (which used Siri's predecessor as an NLP engine).
- jayant123 10y agoAre natural language interfaces for databases commonly used in the industry? Sorry if that sounds hostile, I'm simply curious about the state of a field which doesn't seem very prevalent outside of academia.
- davidsQL 10y agoThe Natural Language trend is on the rise over multiple domains. From large corporations like Microsoft, IBM and Wolfram Alpha, to small startup companies like Looker, Statemuse or AnswerRocket - companies are taking a shot at achieving the ultimate User Experience of Natural Language over databases. Solutions differ in two major ways: UX Approach and Solution model. In the UX approach department, Kueri.me has taken a real-time auto-complete suggestion mode which helpos users construct their questions properly thus enhancing the valid question ratio. In addition, Kueri is available as a complete platform for on premises development where as other solutions are cloud based services.
- dharma1 10y agoI had a similar idea a couple of months ago, glad someone has built it. Would love to see some more example queries and answers on the site, probably on the front page
- idokueri 10y agoThanks for the feedback.
- davidsQL 10y agoTHE DEMO IS NOW UP. Sorry for the inconvenience, you can access the DEMO here: http://kueri.me/demo http://kueri.me/demo
- fiatjaf 10y agoI want to know from the moderators if it is allowed to post the same link on Show HN 3 times per week until it gains a considerable amount of interest, because if that is the rule I have a lot of tools and services I want to publicize, but haven't posted here that much. I actually care about the quality of the posts here and don't want to turn Show HN into a spam bin, but if other people are allowed to do that, maybe I should use it for self-promotion too, before it is gone forever. https://news.ycombinator.com/submitted?id=davidsQL https://news.ycombinator.com/submitted?id=davidsQL
