Ask Inc Conversational Data Intelligence

Ask your company a question.
Get the answer.

Your numbers already exist. They're just spread across an ERP, a CRM, a billing system, three spreadsheets and someone's inbox. Ask Inc reads across all of it and answers in plain language.

Not live yet. We're building with a small group of companies and opening access in phases.

Why this exists

Most decisions are made on gut feel, because the data takes too long to reach you.

The answer lives in four systems at once

Orders sit in one place, customers in another, money in a third, conversations in a fourth. Any question worth asking crosses all of them, so nobody asks it.

Dashboards answer last quarter's questions

A dashboard is built once, for a question someone had at the time. The question you have today isn't on it, and adding it takes a ticket and two weeks.

The people who can pull the data aren't the people who need it

You either hire an analyst who understands SQL but doesn't understand the context, or a manager who understands the context but can't write SQL.

By the time it arrives, it's a description, not a decision

You get what happened. You still have to work out why it happened, who it affects, and what to do — usually in a meeting, usually from memory.

How it works

Four steps, and only one of them is yours.

1

Connect

Read-only connections to the systems you already run — ERP, CRM, POS, billing, ticketing, spreadsheets, warehouse. Nothing is migrated or rewritten.

2

Learn the business

It maps your fields to your vocabulary — what you call a region, how you count a sale, when your financial year starts, which of your five customer tables is the real one.

3

Ask

Type or speak the question the way you'd say it out loud. Follow up. Argue with the answer. It keeps the thread.

4

Act

Answers come with the working shown, the source rows behind them, and the option to watch the number and tell you when it moves.

Six questions from six different businesses.

"Which stores are discounting hardest without driving volume?"

RETAIL POS + ERP

"Who paused ordering in Q3, and did they have an open support ticket in Q2?"

B2B ERP + CRM + TICKETING

"Show me properties where the review score dropped but the maintenance requests are flat."

HOSPITALITY PMS + PUBLIC REVIEWS

"What's our real margin on the top 5 SKUs once you add in returns and shipping penalties?"

ECOMMERCE SHOPIFY + LOGISTICS + BILLING

"Are we actually clearing invoices faster since we hired the new agency?"

FINANCE ACCOUNTING + BANK

"Which sales reps are missing target but making the most outbound calls?"

SALES CRM + VOIP + SPREADSHEETS

If your business runs on systems, it runs on questions like these.

What it reads

It fits around the systems you already have.

No replatforming, no data warehouse project, no six-month implementation. Connections are read-only by default.

ERP

Orders, stock, purchase, dispatch, ledgers.

CRM

Pipeline, accounts, targets, activity.

Point of sale

Bills, baskets, footfall, store-day detail.

Billing & finance

Invoices, ageing, collections, credit notes.

Support

Tickets, calls, chat, complaint categories.

Spreadsheets

The targets file everyone actually uses.

Ops systems

Warehouse, field service, attendance, logs.

Public signals

Reviews and ratings tied to your locations.

An answer you can't check isn't an answer.

Every answer shows its working

It doesn't just give you a number. It gives you the query it used to get the number, and a link to the exact rows it counted.

It inherits your permissions

If someone can't see the payroll table in the ERP, they can't ask questions about it here either. Access maps directly to your existing setup.

Read-only unless you say otherwise

By default, it only looks. It can't change a record, delete a row, or send a message without explicit configuration and approval workflows.

Your data isn't training material

Your numbers stay yours. They are never pooled, never shared, and never used to train the base model for anyone else.

It says when it doesn't know

If the data isn't there, or the question is ambiguous, it asks for clarification. It does not guess.

Numbers before narrative

It is instructed to strip out the fluff. You don't get three paragraphs of setup, you get the answer.

Being built in the open, one phase at a time.

Early Access

We send an update every few weeks on what we've built, what broke, and what we learned. Early access invitations go to this list first, in order.

Before you sign up:

  • This is not a tool for small datasets. If you run your whole business on three spreadsheets, this is overkill.
  • If you don't collect data, this can't query it.
