BOSTON, Mass. – September 5, 2024 – AtScale, a leading innovator in semantic layer technology, is excited to announce the private preview of its Natural Language Query (NQL) capabilities. AtScale’s new NQL feature empowers business users to get immediate access to insights from their data by simply asking questions in plain English. This approach eliminates the need for complex data engineering, data science, and SQL commands. Leveraging AtScale’s Semantic Layer and Generative AI, users can obtain insights directly from BI reports or custom queries, ensuring seamless access to all data modeled in AtScale.
Building on a 92.5% accuracy rate in Text-to-SQL tasks reported in last month’s TPC-DS Benchmark, AtScale’s NQL capabilities are now entering a private preview phase, allowing select enterprises to experience the new functionality. This feature aims to help organizations handle large volumes of data more efficiently by bridging natural language understanding with complex data queries to deliver faster and more accurate insights.
AtScale’s integration of Generative AI with its Semantic Layer not only provides the necessary business context and metadata for semantic understanding of user questions but also enhances accuracy using functions unique to AtScale’s semantic markup language and engine. These capabilities simplify the SQL required from the LLM and conduct additional translation from that simple SQL to more complex SQL statements required by real-world database schemas. Additionally, users benefit from autonomic data engineering, query acceleration, and reduced costs. By bypassing traditional, labor-intensive data engineering methods, this new feature accelerates decision-making and empowers business users with direct access to insights.
“The private preview of our Natural Language Query capabilities marks a significant advancement in how businesses interact with their data,” said John Langton, VP Engineering of AtScale. “By combining LLMs with our Semantic Layer, we achieve unparalleled accuracy in NQL capabilities, and we look forward to seeing our customers unlock new levels of data-driven decision-making.”
Enterprises interested in participating in the private preview are encouraged to contact their AtScale representative or request a 14-day free trial.
