One plugin, three ways in

Ask it, click it, or write the SQL. Then share it.

The store owner, the analyst and the client each get a way in that fits them, on the same charts.

01 · Ask

Type the question

Plain English in, a chart out. Ask checks real column values first, and asks you when a word could mean two things.

Point and click, or drop to SQL

Pick a table, a measure and a grouping with a live preview. When clicks run out, switch to a read-only SQL editor.

Dashboards and embeds

Arrange charts on a drag-and-drop grid with one date filter for the whole board, then embed a chart anywhere with a revocable link.

Ask · Glimpse BI Pro

Answers that show their working.

A fluent answer that’s wrong is worse than no answer. So every Ask answer is a real chart you can check before you rely on it.

  1. It asks when a word is ambiguousGross or net of refunds? Pick once and save it to your glossary.
  2. It restates your questionOne line says exactly what was counted, so a wrong assumption is visible.
  3. It shows how it was computedTable, measure, filters and grouping, written from the chart itself rather than by the model.
  4. It’s a chart you ownChecked by the same read-only engine as hand-built charts. Save it, pin it, or open it in the builder.

Privacy by default

Your rows stay on your server.

Charts are computed in your own WordPress database. When you Ask, Glimpse sends your schema to understand the question: table and column names, never the rows. Numbers in the answer are filled in on your site.

Your WordPress site

Database, the Glimpse engine and the read-only query check. Every query runs here.

Glimpse relay

Checks your license and credits, picks the model and forwards the request. Stores counts, never prompts or answers.

Glimpse’s AI service

Runs on Cloudflare with DeepSeek models. Plans the query and writes the answer. Your data is never used to train models.

What each data setting sends

Schema onlyDefault

Table and column names and types. Answers still read naturally: the numbers are filled in on your server.

Schema + values

Adds the options in short lists, like order statuses, so filters are right first time.

Full results

Lets Ask read result rows to explain why a number moved. Off until an admin turns it on.

Tables you mark private (users, user meta and customer details by default) are blocked for Ask outright, not just hidden.

Questions about Ask

Do I need my own AI key?
No. Ask runs on Glimpse AI credits included with every Pro plan, and you can top up any time from your account.
What does a credit buy?
About one typical question. Thorough mode uses more, and you see the estimate before you send.
Can Ask change my database?
No. Every query is a checked, read-only SELECT, the same check a hand-built chart passes.
Will charts slow my site down?
Results are cached and heavy charts can be pre-computed, so dashboards don’t re-run queries on every load.

Install free in a minute. Ask when you’re ready.
