What is BlazeSQL?
BlazeSQL is an AI-native BI platform and AI Data Analyst that connects to SQL databases to answer business questions in natural language without requiring users to write SQL code. The tool automatically extracts database structure including table names, column names, categorical values, and relationships, then uses AI to generate and execute SQL queries, pull data, and create visualizations. Users simply chat with Blaze, the AI assistant, telling it what data they need in plain English, and Blaze delivers SQL code, query results, graphs, charts, tables, maps, dashboards, and even PDF or interactive reports.
Key features include self-learning AI that requires no manual setup, automatic accuracy measurement, support for 12+ popular databases (Snowflake, BigQuery, PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQL Server, Oracle, Redshift, Databricks, Amazon Athena, ClickHouse, MariaDB, SAP SQL Anywhere), personal dashboard creation with drag-and-drop functionality, proactive weekly insights tailored to job priorities, web research capabilities combined with database queries, PDF and interactive report generation, API for query generation and user management for white-labeling, Microsoft Teams integration, and desktop app with offline mode for enterprise-level security where query results stay local.
BlazeSQL is designed for companies with SQL databases where both technical and non-technical users need data insights. It serves data analysts, BI teams, engineering teams, operations teams, onboarding and integrations teams, business users, and executives who want to test hypotheses without involving engineering. The tool eliminates BI as a bottleneck, enabling teams to get insights faster and making data part of everyday decision-making. Over 2 million questions have been answered, with teams saving at least a day and half per week.

Frequently asked questions about BlazeSQL
How does BlazeSQL keep my data private and secure?
With the desktop version, data rows in your database will not be uploaded to BlazeSQL servers or sent anywhere else by default. To generate queries, the AI only needs to see the names of your tables and column names. If you connect your database with the desktop version, query results go directly from your database to your computer and stay 100% local and private. Graphs and dashboards use this local data to display on your screen. No models are trained on your data, and offline mode in the desktop app ensures query results stay strictly local on your computer.
What is BlazeSQL and who should use it?
BlazeSQL is for companies with SQL Databases from which technical or non-technical users need to extract data or get insights. It is an AI-native BI platform and AI Data Analyst that truly learns your SQL database, allowing users to turn questions into data insights using SQL AI. Technical staff can get immediate insights with no manual setup, and non-technical teams can be reliably onboarded to ask any question and create dashboards that previously required a BI or SQL-savvy developer.
How does BlazeSQL understand my database schema?
BlazeSQL extracts categorical values, column relationships, and comments from your database and uses the AI's deep knowledge of many industries to interpret it. If necessary, you can also use the knowledge base to add descriptions for schemas, tables, and columns, as well as example queries or any other information like terminology and business information. This allows the AI to understand and remember important details about your database and your company. The AI automatically learns from feedback and measures its own accuracy.
Does BlazeSQL have an API?
Yes, BlazeSQL has an API to generate queries, pull data, and answer questions. There is also an API that allows you to manage your users and databases for white-labeling BlazeSQL. This way you can re-sell BlazeSQL or embed it in your website or product. The Enterprise subscription includes a Database Connector API Implementation Guide that enables secure API endpoints for querying databases while keeping all query processing within your infrastructure.
Can I exclude certain tables from BlazeSQL analysis?
When connecting a database, you are asked to select the tables you would like BlazeSQL to use. This way you can exclude any tables that are not required. BlazeSQL enforces a limit of 300 tables per database to encourage you to only select tables relevant for analysis. Typically, in databases with over 300 tables, most tables are not relevant for the data insights you need and should hence be excluded for optimal performance. You can add the database multiple times with different tables selected, or add completely different databases, and then select the relevant database in the chat.
What databases does BlazeSQL support?
BlazeSQL Supports SQL Databases and Warehouses including: Snowflake, BigQuery, Microsoft SQL Server, PostgreSQL, MySQL, MariaDB, Oracle, Redshift, Databricks, Amazon Athena, ClickHouse, and SAP SQL Anywhere. The tool supports various types of SQL databases and connects to your SQL Database to understand their schemas, allowing users to get insights by querying the database in natural language instead of SQL code.
Do I need to pay for each user to access the AI chatbot?
No, every BlazeSQL Member gets unlimited access to the AI Data Analyst chatbot for each user. If you intend to use BlazeSQL with multiple people, you will require a Team subscription in which every individual user will have unlimited access to BlazeSQL. This means the AI Data Analyst chatbot is not limited per user within a Member account, but multiple people require a Team subscription.
Is there a free version of BlazeSQL?
BlazeSQL offers a free trial for companies to test the solution before adopting it, but this is not a free product and there is no tier that is permanently free. The free trial allows companies to evaluate the solution before committing to a subscription, but ongoing use requires either a Member subscription for individual use or a Team subscription for multiple users.
Does BlazeSQL offer an on-premise solution?
No, BlazeSQL does not offer an On-Premise solution as the AI requires too much computing power for this to be feasible. However, the desktop version allows you to keep your database records and query-results On-Premise as the query results only travel between the database and your device. With the desktop version, data rows are not uploaded to servers by default, and query results stay 100% local and private.
Can BlazeSQL create reports and do web research?
Yes, BlazeSQL can research context, query your database, and turn answers into shareable PDF reports and interactive reports. Ask one question and BlazeSQL can research context web information, query your database, and create both PDF and interactive reports. The tool suggests key insights tailored to your job and priorities, and sends you weekly updates. It can research current benchmarks, query delivery data, and create comprehensive reports like Q3 operations summaries with interactive data visualizations.
