Using the Chat

The Kakaw chat is where you turn questions into insights. Here's how to get the most out of it.

Asking Questions

Type any question in plain English. Kakaw translates it to SQL, runs it, and returns an answer. Good questions are specific:

| Instead of… | Try… | |-------------|------| | "Show me sales" | "What were total sales by region last quarter?" | | "Users" | "How many users signed up in March 2026?" | | "Revenue" | "What's our month-over-month revenue growth for 2025?" |

Understanding Results

Every answer includes:

• The answer — plain text or a chart
• The SQL — the exact query that ran, so you can verify it
• Row count — how many rows the query returned

Charts

When your question involves trends, comparisons, or distributions, Kakaw automatically generates a chart. You can:

• Hover over chart elements to see exact values
• Download the chart as an image using the download button
• Export the underlying data as CSV

Follow-Up Questions

You can ask follow-up questions that build on previous answers:

"Break that down by product category"

"Show only the top 5"

"Compare it to the same period last year"

Kakaw maintains conversation context so follow-ups work naturally.

Saved Conversations

All conversations are automatically saved. Access them from the sidebar. You can name a conversation by clicking the title.

Tips

• Be specific about time periods — "last month", "Q1 2026", "last 90 days"
• Name your tables — if you know the table name, mentioning it helps: "from the orders table…"
• Check the SQL — if an answer looks wrong, read the SQL to understand what ran
