Quickstart
Ask your first question against the platform sample database, then save the answer to a dashboard.
You do not need a database of your own to start. Every workspace can query a read-only sample database, so you can see the whole loop (question, SQL, result, chart) before connecting anything.
Open ChatPlotDB
Go to the app and sign in. You can also continue as a guest: guest sessions get a smaller set of models and a starting credit grant, and everything below still works.
Select the sample database
Open the database selector at the top of the sidebar and choose the platform sample. It is shared and read-only: to change its config, use Customize, which forks it into a copy you own.
Ask a question
Type a question in plain English:
What were our top five products by revenue last quarter?The agent reads the config, decides which tables it needs, and drafts the SQL.
Approve the SQL
If SQL approval is on, the query appears before it runs. Read it, edit it if you want, and approve. See SQL approval for when this step appears and how to resume a paused run over the API.
Save the answer
Charts and tables can be saved to a dashboard from the message. Once saved, a card can be refreshed on a schedule and can carry threshold alerts.
Connect your own data
When you're ready to point it at something real:
PostgreSQL and MySQL
Add a connection with encrypted credentials.
CSV and Excel
Upload a file and query it directly.
Answers are only as good as the config
A fresh connection works, but it guesses at your vocabulary. Running Config Studio over your schema is the single biggest jump in answer quality: it writes the table, join, and metric definitions the agent reads on every question.
