For years, getting a straight answer out of a spreadsheet or database meant one thing: someone had to write a query. SELECT, JOIN, GROUP BY, these were the price of entry for turning raw data into a real answer. That price kept most business users on the outside of their own data, waiting on an analyst or a BI team to translate their question into something a machine could run.

This session flips that model on its head. Using real data as a live working example, this presentation shows how a conversational AI can take a plain-English question and return the same answer an SQL query would, in seconds, without anyone touching a schema. Attendees will see simple aggregations, deeper behavioural patterns, and cost-saving insights, all get uncovered through nothing more than a natural back-and-forth conversation with an AI model.

More than a demo, this session makes a practical case for rethinking who gets to ask questions of data, and how quickly those questions get answered. Attendees will leave with a clear, repeatable approach for using AI as a fast front door into any dataset, one that speeds up exploration without replacing the governance and rigor that SQL and BI still provide at scale.

𝗞𝗲𝘆 𝗢𝗯𝗷𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲𝘀:
✔ See a real, no-SQL data analysis workflow in action.
✔ Learn how to prompt AI for data analysis, not just conversation.
✔ Understand where AI fits alongside SQL and BI.

𝗧𝗮𝗿𝗴𝗲𝘁 𝗔𝘂𝗱𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲:
This session is designed for data analysts, business analysts, and BI professionals who want a practical, no-hype look at how conversational AI can speed up everyday data exploration. It's especially relevant for anyone who has waited on a query, a dashboard refresh, or an analyst's availability to get a simple answer from their own data.

Whether you're a technical practitioner comfortable with SQL and curious about where AI fits, or a business user who has never written a query and wants to start asking questions of data directly, you'll leave with a repeatable approach you can try on your own dataset right away. Data leaders and BI managers exploring how AI tools might change team workflows will also find practical, grounded takeaways here.
