How to Use Wren AI

Getting started with Wren AI

With Wren AI, you'll be able to ask questions about your data in plain English and receive SQL queries as responses. This guide will help you get set up quickly so you can start extracting insights from your data without needing to learn complex SQL syntax.

Step 1: Sign up and set up

1. Go to Wren AI's website.
2. Click on the "Get Started" button located on the homepage.
3. Fill in the required information to create your account – you’ll need an email address and a password.
4. Check your email for a verification link and click it to activate your account.
5. Once logged in, you’ll be guided to connect your data sources. Follow the prompts to link your databases.

Step 2: Your first query

1. On the main dashboard, locate the text input box that says "Ask your question".
2. Type a simple question about your data, such as "What is the total sales for last month?".
3. Click the “Submit” button next to the input box.
4. Wren AI will generate the SQL query and display the results below. Review the output to ensure it meets your needs.

Step 3: Get better results

1. To refine your queries, try using specific keywords like "average", "count", or "sum" in your questions.
2. You can also specify date ranges by saying, for example, "Show me the total sales from January to March".
3. Explore the "Templates" section on the left sidebar for common queries you can modify for your needs.

Pro tip

Take advantage of the "History" feature in the sidebar to quickly access previous queries. This saves time when you want to revisit or edit past questions instead of starting from scratch.

Common mistake to avoid

Avoid using overly complex questions or jargon that Wren AI may not understand. Stick to clear and straightforward language to ensure accurate results. If a query doesn't return the expected output, simplify your question.
