Most business questions are simple to ask and slow to answer. "Which customers owe us the most?" or "How did sales in the north compare with last quarter?" takes a sentence to say. Answering it usually means exporting a report, cleaning a spreadsheet, writing a formula, or waiting for someone who knows SQL.
Riyu is built to close that gap. You ask the question the way you would ask a colleague, and Riyu works out the answer from your data.
Start from the data you already keep
Riyu works with the places business numbers already live: spreadsheets, CSV files, databases and Tally. You connect a source once, and every question after that runs against it. There is nothing to export and no new tool to learn.
Ask the question as you would say it
You do not need to know table names, column names or query syntax. A good question names three things:
- What you want to measure. Revenue, outstanding receivables, units sold.
- How to slice it. By customer, by region, by month.
- Which period. This quarter, the last twelve months, since April.
"Show me outstanding receivables by customer for the last six months" will get you further than "receivables?". If something is ambiguous, Riyu asks you before it guesses.
Check the reasoning, not just the result
A confident answer is not the same as a correct one. That is why Riyu shows its working alongside every result: the plan it followed, the steps it ran and the code it generated. You can see which data was used and how the number was reached, so you can trust it, or spot the step where it went wrong and ask again.
Keep going from the answer
The first answer is rarely the last question. Ask a follow-up, narrow the period, change the grouping or turn the result into a chart. Each question builds on the conversation so far, so you do not have to start from the beginning each time.
If you want to try it on your own numbers, you can start for free. If you have a question about whether Riyu fits your data, write to us at riyu@explorix.ai.
