Frequently asked questions
Does Querio offer more accurate analytics?
Querio's governed metrics layer ensures consistent definitions for enterprise teams. AI for Database auto-detects schema context for strong accuracy out of the box. For most teams, the accuracy difference is negligible while the cost difference is substantial.
Is AI for Database suitable for enterprise use?
Yes. AI for Database supports enterprise requirements including self-hosted deployment, read-only access, encryption, and team management. The difference is you don't need an enterprise sales process to get started.
Can AI for Database handle complex analytics?
Yes. It supports joins, aggregations, time-series analysis, and multi-table queries through natural language. For highly complex governed metrics, Querio may offer more granular control — at 50x the price.
