Questions your business already asks.

    How Ask Intelligence creates day-to-day value: less engineering dependency, answers in seconds, and decisions on live data.

    Use cases

    From query to decision.

    Each case links a real business need to the outcome teams get when they ask natural-language questions over their databases.

    CFO, controlling, and finance

    Financial analysis

    Profitability, cash, and key metrics without waiting for month-end or an ad-hoc BI report.

    Value for the customer

    Finance answers in the same meeting: margins, variances, and cash flow come from operational sources in natural language, with data at the source and no SQL bottlenecks.

    What changes in the operation

    • Settle margin and cost debates in minutes, not days
    • Cut engineering tickets for “one more report”
    • Spot cash deviations before formal reporting

    Example questions

    • What is our margin by product this quarter?
    • Show cash flow for the last 6 months
    • Which cost centers are off budget?
    Diagnostic
    Sales ops, managers, and commercial leadership

    Sales performance

    Conversion patterns, pipeline, and product growth without waiting on the analyst on duty.

    Value for the customer

    Sales and sales ops prioritize with evidence: who converts, which offers grow, and where the funnel stalls — in the moment, over connected CRM and billing data.

    What changes in the operation

    • Prioritize pipeline and coaching with current data
    • Anticipate demand and accelerating products
    • Shorten the “question → commercial action” loop

    Example questions

    • Who has the best conversion rate this month?
    • Which products are growing fastest?
    • Where do we lose the most opportunity in the funnel?
    Diagnostic
    Growth, catalog, and store operations

    E-commerce

    AOV, retention, returns, and assortment decisions without weekly CSV exports.

    Value for the customer

    E-commerce teams adjust channel, pricing, and catalog with direct questions to transactional data: less gut feel, more iteration on real customer behavior.

    What changes in the operation

    • Improve AOV and mix by channel with evidence
    • Flag high-return products early
    • Speed up catalog and cohort experiments

    Example questions

    • Average order value by channel
    • Products with the highest return rate
    • Cohort retention for the last 90 days
    Diagnostic
    Supply chain, logistics, and ops

    Operations

    Stock, lead times, and bottlenecks visible in plain language for people running the day-to-day.

    Value for the customer

    Ops stops relying only on fixed dashboards: ask about stockout risk, regional lead times, or bottlenecks and act before the issue reaches the end customer.

    What changes in the operation

    • Reduce stockouts and rush-cost overruns
    • See lead time by region without a weekly report
    • Surface chain bottlenecks on live data

    Example questions

    • SKUs at risk of stockout
    • Average delivery time by region
    • Which warehouses concentrate the most delays?
    Diagnostic
    People ops, HRBPs, and talent leadership

    People & HR

    Turnover, open roles, and engagement signals without waiting for the quarterly People Analytics pack.

    Value for the customer

    HR anticipates attrition risk and hiring bottlenecks from the same HRIS sources: earlier headcount decisions and business conversations backed by shared facts.

    What changes in the operation

    • Attrition signals by area before talent walks
    • Align open roles vs real hiring velocity
    • Ground headcount talks in shared evidence

    Example questions

    • Departments with the highest turnover
    • Open roles vs hiring velocity
    • Where has engagement dropped in the last 6 months?
    Diagnostic
    General management and leadership committees

    Executive briefing

    Board-ready summaries from the same data layer used by finance, sales, and ops.

    Value for the customer

    Leadership gets a coherent briefing — KPIs, exceptions, and trends — without stitching five decks: one source of truth, queryable in natural language before the meeting.

    What changes in the operation

    • Weekly briefings without manual consolidation
    • Exceptions vs prior period visible instantly
    • Same truth for the board and operating teams

    Example questions

    • Weekly KPI digest
    • Exceptions vs last quarter
    • Which metrics drifted most this week?
