Prompt SQL
Plain English

"Show monthly revenue by plan for active customers, excluding refunds."

POSTGRES
SELECT date_trunc('month', i.paid_at) AS month,
       c.plan_name,
       SUM(i.amount) AS revenue
FROM invoices i
JOIN customers c ON c.id = i.customer_id
WHERE c.status = 'active'
  AND i.status = 'paid'
  AND i.refunded_at IS NULL
GROUP BY 1, 2
ORDER BY 1 DESC, 2;

Built for non-developers who need real SQL

Use this when you know the business question but do not want to hand-write JOINs, CTEs, GROUP BY clauses, or window functions from scratch.

Plain-English reports

Ask for revenue, retention, pipeline, inventory, or support metrics in normal business language.

Dialect-aware SQL

Get PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQL Server, or standard SQL guidance instead of generic syntax that breaks later.

Explainable output

Each query includes assumptions and a plain-English explanation so analysts can review before running it.

Common plain-English SQL prompts

"Find customers who churned after upgrading"

"Rank sales reps by win rate this quarter"

Creates aggregation, conversion-rate math, and sorting with safe division handling.

"Show repeat purchasers by cohort"

Builds cohort logic with CTEs and clear assumptions about order dates.
