SQL remains ubiquitous for data retrieval and analytics, yet can be tedious to write, and is downright unusable for business users.

Data teams are becoming increasingly overwhelmed, and organizations are pushing to empower their “citizen data analysts.” With the advent of AI English-to-SQL platforms like AskEdith, now anyone can work with and query Presto using plain English questions.
