Query Your SQL Database In English

Disclaimer: I built Myriade (and I love it ^^)

Let’s be honest: writing SQL can feel like a chore — tedious and tricky.
Have you ever dreamed of using ChatGPT on your database?
That’s exactly what Myriade lets you do.

What’s Myriade?

Myriade is an AI-powered tool designed to make database queries easy and intuitive.
It plugs directly into databases like Postgres, MySQL, Snowflake, or BigQuery.
It doesn’t just translate your questions into SQL; it actively explores, tries, corrects queries, adapts, reviews… and gets back to you with a synthesis report.

— no SQL needed.

Quick Start Guide

1. Connect Your Database

Start by hooking up your Postgres database to Myriade.
The connection is totally secure and strictly read-only, keeping your data safe and untouched.

2. Just Ask in English

Simply type your query using everyday language.

For example:

  • “What were the sales figures last quarter?”
  • “Explain the decrease in user sign-ups yesterday.” You don’t even need to worry about field names or tables — Myriade figures that out for you.

3. Get Report

After you ask, Myriade transforms your plain-English question into SQL, fetches the data, and presents clear results as tables, graphs, or easy-to-understand insights.

Safety First

Data security matters, so Myriade comes with built-in privacy:

  • Read-Only Mode: No chance of accidentally editing or losing data. Sample Only: The AI only reads a sample of the results (like a human would)
  • AI — Zero Data Retention: Nothing you query gets stored on the AI providers.
  • Zero Knowledge Protection: Advanced features to hide your sensitive data from AI providers.

Practical Examples of Using Myriade

Myriade isn’t just for basic queries. Here are some practical scenarios you can try:

  • Diagnose a Problem: “Why did sales drop on March 10?”
  • Find What’s Missing: “What key metrics aren’t in our monthly reports?”
  • Shape Your Data: “Make a quick table showing each user’s last purchase.”
  • Check Your Data Quality: “Spot any weird duplicates in billing data.”

With Myriade, interacting with your database feels less like coding and more like chatting.
Easy, intuitive, and even a little bit fun!
