# DeskInsight

Canonical: https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/558945/DeskInsight

> DeskInsight is a desktop business-intelligence application that lets you analyze your databases by asking questions in plain language — with the option to run the AI entirely on your own machine, so your data never leaves your network.

PRIVACY-FIRST BY DESIGN
In Full Local mode, DeskInsight uses Ollama to run open-source language models (Gemma, Qwen and others) on your own hardware. Nothing is sent to the cloud — not your data, not your schema, not your questions. A Hybrid mode is also available (cloud SQL generation, local interpretation) with strict rules so raw data never leaves your machine. Or use cloud APIs (Claude, GPT, DeepSeek) when privacy is not a constraint.

HOW IT WORKS
Connect to any of 12 database systems: MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQL Server, Oracle, SQLite, Firebird, MariaDB, InterBase, Access, DB2, Redshift, Azure SQL. DeskInsight reverse-engineers the schema automatically — tables, keys, relations, indexes. Then ask questions in plain language (or 6 other languages): the AI writes the SQL, runs it, and explains the results with charts.

MORE THAN CHAT
Data profiling with anomaly detection, quick column statistics, a dashboard builder with KPI widgets, scheduled reports, alert rules, and an AI workbench with a step-by-step SQL debugger.

HONEST, PUBLIC BENCHMARKS
DeskInsight's AI quality is measured by an open, MIT-licensed benchmark suite (gbag-bench) — 184 real BI questions across multiple databases. Results are published, including where local models fail.

EDITIONS
Essential is free. Standard is $13/month ($119/year). Built for SMEs, accountants, analysts and consultants who want AI-powered insight without sending company data to third parties.

Runs on Windows 10/11. UI available in English, French, German, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese and Turkish.
