If you have access to a database, you probably know how to write SQL. However, you probably don’t use your database to explore or answer business questions you might have.

If your business relies on data, you probably have simple KPIs that you must know or can check easily ; “what is the turnover”, “how many visitors did we have yesterday”.

However, as soon as we want to answer new questions, we must ask ourselves “is it worth it? Do I really need the answer to spend time writing this query?”.

“Who is our biggest client this year?”, “Did this feature have an impact on our revenue?”, “How many clients does each shop welcome per day?”

Worst, because of “learned helplessness”, we probably stop ourselves from asking questions in the first place. We learn to run our businesses with lengthy meetings, anecdotes & strong opinions.

Friction has a high, hidden cost.

ChatGPT changes how much “knowledge” we use every day, not because of unique information, but by making it straightforward to access it. You ask a question and ChatGPT answers you.

What if you could have that for your business ? Well, that would be great. Let me talk to you about Myriade.


Myriade

Myriade is a platform to chat with your data, by connecting to your database, in a secure way.

You can think about it as the ChatGPT for your enterprise data.


Set-up

The setup is quite straightforward:

  1. Connect to myriade.ai

  2. Connect your database (as of today, Myriade supports Postgres, MySQL, Snowflake & BigQuery)

  3. Ask a question


Privacy & Security

If you have second thoughts about connecting your database to an external service, you're not alone.
Here is how Myriade addresses this:

  • Read-Only Mode: With these parameters, you can ensure that the AI won’t drop, delete or create a new table.

  • Sample Only: The AI only reads a sample of the results (like a human would), never the full data.

  • AI — Zero Data Retention: We only work with AI providers that never store data.

  • Zero Knowledge Protection: options hide your sensitive fields from AI providers.


What can it do ?

You can now run a query as fast as you can think up your questions.

What'll happen is that you will discover that you now ask way more queries (what we call the rebound effect).

However, that’s not the most interesting.

If you have a database, there's a good chance it contains lots of information about your business; clients, sales, products, …

It’s the perfect “context” for an AI assistant.

Beyond simply “writing SQL”, Myriade is a true agent that explores, corrects, adapts, verifies, and synthesizes.

Myriade is a trusted copilot to explore your data and assist you on high-level tasks:

  • Analyzing a problem: “Why was there a drop in sales last Tuesday?”

  • Asking for advice: “What KPIs should I focus on?”

  • Reviewing compliance: “Can you check if we are GDPR-compliant?”

  • Detect quality issue: “Detect quality issues in billing data”

In a nutshell, you get a data/business analyst available on demand.

We could go on for ever…
but why don't you just see for yourself.
