Hey there! We just launched an application that securely connects to a Postgres/MySQL database and allows users to ask questions about their data in plain English, right from slack. We’d love some feedback - our product is available for a paid subscription but I would more than happy to set anyone interested up with a free trial. We appreciate any constructive criticism on this - it certainly has been exciting to see many similar products come out of the woodwork

"Learn how to onboard" goes nowhere. The Terms and Services link also goes nowhere.

Speaking of which, this is a service that apparently operates on secure data. What are the safety concerns from that? Does your service retain any data?

Sonya.ai understands your natural language questions, converts them into SQL, and queries the database for the answer

So this is effectively "run SQL queries from Slack." What happens if I ask it to "DROP TABLE Students"

Thanks for catching that, we’ll get those links fixed. Fundamentally this is like running SQL queries from slack, but only via natural language - and not by raw SQL. The service can only perform reads against a database, so a drop table query would be rejected by the app.
