Named after William Playfair, who invented the line and bar chart in 1786.
Connect a database, a spreadsheet or a CSV, ask a question, and get an answer you can trust, pinned to live dashboards your team will actually read.
Most teams have the data but not the answers. Founders wait on analysts and operators live in spreadsheets. Tools that let you “chat with your data” return confident numbers that nobody can check.
Playfair shows its work. Every answer comes with the interpretation it used, the SQL it ran, the rows behind the number and a confidence level. If ambiguity would change the answer, the agent asks. If it wouldn't, the agent states its assumption.
The 60-second demo
The path a first-time visitor takes through the live demo, from the first click to the moment it clicks.
Follow along in the demo- [01]
Open the demo workspace, with a sample e-commerce database already connected.
- [02]
Ask “Monthly revenue this year” and get a line chart, the headline number and the SQL.
- [03]
Ask which products have the highest return rate, with a minimum of 50 orders, and get a bar chart and a table.
- [04]
Ask “Why did revenue drop in April?” The agent breaks it down by region and category and shows its evidence.
- [05]
Pin all three to a dashboard and share a read-only link.
What it does
We can build data products: safe text-to-SQL, tasteful charts, and dashboards that don't look like admin panels.
Connect anything
Postgres, MySQL, Google Sheets or CSV and XLSX uploads, with schema introspection, type inference and a semantic layer.
Show the SQL
Generated SQL with syntax highlighting, a plain-language explanation, and editing for analysts. Diffs when it changes.
Read-only by design
Read-only transactions, statement timeouts, row caps and a cost guard for heavy scans. Your data is never written to.
Right chart by default
Time series get a line, comparisons get bars and single values get a KPI tile. Easy to override, no chart junk.
Why analysis
Ask why a number moved. The agent ranks the drivers across every dimension it can see and shows the evidence charts.
Dashboards to read
Pin any answer in one click, filter globally, share read-only links and schedule reports to email or Slack.
How it behaves
Show the work. Every number links to its SQL and its rows.
Ask before guessing. Clarify when ambiguity changes the answer; otherwise guess and say so.
Never break silently. Stale, drifted and failed states are always explicit and repairable.

The stack
The same typed, server-first stack as every Asrar product. The model does the reasoning, and the product does everything around it.
