The 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.
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?
please make the "click here" to experience a demo MUCH more prominent. You're losing out on people playing around with the interface because it's not in plain sight.
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.
Hi-- 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.
Very cool - I've played with a bit more. How does Kueri know that the word "paid" maps to "salary"? Do you define these synonyms on a per column basis or does Kueri have some sort synonym detection? If so, how many languages does this support?
Looks very promising, sadly I cant get past configuring a new SQL Server data source (which does say Beta).
Points of contention-
First load using edge DataSources was not visible at the bottom right, had to access from User drop down menu and nothing happened
No error returned when trying to connect to a SQL Server type connection, just said Invalid database address with no further information about why. (default database wasn't accessible was the problem).
After getting past the connection screen, tables are arranged in a nonsensical fashion, not a huge issue but I would have thought alphabetical option at minimum.
Some tables don't preview, haven't dug into this further.
Once I selected a table it could preview, clicking NEXT did nothing.
