What's the data freshness across our production SQL Server warehouses?
Across 12 active databases, average data freshness is 4.2 hours. Your customer_events table is lagging at 11.7 hours with 2.3M rows pending ingestion. The analytics_pipeline_daily needs attention.
Trigger a backfill for customer_events from the last 24 hours and alert me when freshness drops below 6 hours
Backfill initiated for customer_events — processing 2.3M rows. Freshness monitor configured with 6-hour threshold. You'll receive alerts via Slack when any table exceeds this SLA.

How it works

From connection to autonomous action in three steps

1

Connect

Authenticate once with SQL Server credentials or Azure AD. Improvado auto-discovers your schemas, tables, and relationships across 1000+ data sources, normalizing metadata instantly for the AI agent.

2

Ask

Ask about table row counts, ingestion volumes, pipeline status, data freshness lag, backfill progress, or query performance. The agent surfaces SQL Server metrics in seconds without writing SQL.

3

Act

The agent triggers backfills, pauses pipelines, schedules ingestion jobs, creates indexes, and updates table schemas in SQL Server. Every write operation is logged with timestamps, user attribution, and rollback capability.

Use Cases

What teams ask their AI agent about Microsoft SQL Server

Real prompts from enterprise marketing teams. The agent reads your data, answers in seconds, and takes action when you ask.

AI Agent Access

Your agent joins SQL Server tables with ad spend to calculate true ROAS

Read

Reads datasets, row counts, ingestion volumes, pipeline statuses, data freshness timestamps, backfill progress, table schemas, index usage stats, and query execution plans from your SQL Server warehouses.

Write

Writes backfill jobs, pipeline schedules, ingestion configurations, table indexes, schema modifications, data retention policies, and automated maintenance tasks directly to SQL Server with full audit trails.

Monitor

Monitors data freshness SLAs, pipeline failures, ingestion anomalies, schema drift, query performance degradation, storage capacity thresholds, and sends real-time alerts when thresholds are breached.

The AI agent queries tables, views, and stored procedures from your SQL Server database directly. It can match transaction records with marketing touchpoints to calculate actual return on ad spend across all channels. Ask it to identify high-value customer segments or correlate product purchases with specific campaign activities.
