Reaching your data should not require a translator
PerSight is a Windows desktop app that lets you ask your own database questions in your own language. This page explains the thinking behind it.
Why we exist
The most valuable knowledge in a company usually sits ready in a database; getting to it means finding someone who writes SQL, filing a report request, or waiting. Between the decision-maker and the data sits a translation layer. PerSight exists to remove that layer: you write the question in your own words, and the answer comes back as a table and a chart.
One principle is non-negotiable: your query runs on your own machine, and your row data never leaves your computer. Only the database schema (table and column names) and your question are sent to the cloud, and a transparency panel inside the app shows exactly what would be sent, every time.
How we work
Every generated SQL statement is visible, explained, and editable before it runs; we do not sell a black box. Only read-only (SELECT) queries are generated; changing your data is technically blocked. We talk about accuracy with measurement, not marketing: we regularly benchmark SQL generation against hundreds of real questions across four database engines and publish the results on our accuracy page.
The product is built in Turkey; Turkish is a first-class language, and the site and product also speak English and German.
Where we are today
PerSight is currently in an invite-only free beta. PostgreSQL, SQL Server, MySQL, and Oracle are supported, and the list is growing. We move the roadmap forward together with our users, measuring as we go.
