Ask your own data: how to ask and where answers come from

The assistant answers questions about your brewery's production data. You ask in an ordinary sentence; there are no commands to learn. You find it in the office app under Assistant.

How to ask

1. Type what you want to know into the Question field.
2. Click Ask.

For inspiration, the screen shows Things you can ask:, for example:

• What is in the cellar right now?
• What was the brewhouse yield this year?
• Where did most beer go missing this year?
• Which batch had the longest cycle?

Ask about a specific batch, tank or material. If an answer does not work out, narrow the question, for example to a shorter period or a single tank.

Where the answers come from

Under every answer there is a Based on: line. It shows which data the assistant used, for example a tank detail with the tank number. That lets you check the answer.

• The assistant has no access to the database. It can only ask a fixed set of questions, the same ones the app's screens answer.
• It does not do its own calculations. You get the same number you see on the batch card.
• It does not fill in missing readings. If a total leaves out batches with no recorded volume, it says so.
• If the data are not enough to answer, it says so and names what is missing.
• An answer that does not come from your data is marked This answer does not come from your data.

The assistant only reads. It never records, changes or deletes anything.

Who can ask

Brewers and owners can ask. The brewery has a monthly allowance of questions. When it is used up, the counter resets on the first day of the next month.

The assistant is optional

Answers are put together by a language model outside the brewery. If you do not want production data to go to it, we leave the assistant switched off. The rest of the app works fully without it.
