inferonIQ automatically profiles your schema — discovering tables, columns, relationships, and data types within seconds.
Step 3: Ask Your First Question
Open the Ask AI panel (or go to NL2SQL) and type a question in plain English:
“Show me top 10 customers by revenue”
“How many orders were placed last month?”
“Which invoices are unpaid over 30 days?”
The engine generates SQL, executes it safely (read-only), and returns results with a natural language explanation.
Step 4: Upload an Invoice (Optional)
- Go to Invoice Intelligence
- Click Upload → drag a PDF invoice
- AI extracts vendor, amounts, line items in ~3 seconds
- If you have POs in your database, 3-Way Matching runs automatically
Step 5: Set Up a Contract (Optional)
- Go to Contract Intelligence
- Upload a vendor contract (PDF)
- AI extracts: pricing terms, SLA targets, rebate schedules, expiry dates
- Future invoices are cross-checked against contract terms automatically
