Terno AI
Secure, conversational AI data scientist for enterprise data
About Terno AI
Terno AI is an enterprise-grade conversational analytics platform that lets teams ask questions of their data in plain English and get hallucination-free answers. Instead of generating text, it produces executable queries grounded in real data, with deterministic table, column, and row-level security so sensitive data never leaves your network boundary.
Pros & Cons
Pros
- Deterministic, rule-based security enforces row/column/table access instead of trusting AI behavior
- Runs fully in your cloud or on-premise so data never leaves your network boundary
- Answers grounded in real query execution, reducing hallucinations common to LLM analytics
- Connects to a wide range of databases and file formats out of the box
- Generous free tier with $10/day usage and unlimited database connections
Cons
- Aimed at enterprise data teams, which may be more than small businesses need
- Relatively new product with a limited public track record and few third-party reviews
- Advanced collaboration and unlimited usage require a paid plan
- Full security and deployment benefits depend on self-hosted or private-cloud setup
Key Features
Conversational analytics
Ask questions in plain English and get charts, SQL, and reports generated from your data.
Hallucination-free results
Answers are computed from real query execution rather than AI text generation, with optional verifier agents for added certainty.
Deterministic security layer
Rule-based query transpilation (SQLShield) enforces table, column, and row-level access controls so data leakage is prevented by design, not by AI behavior.
Multi-database intelligence
Connects to PostgreSQL, MySQL, BigQuery, Snowflake, Databricks, Odoo, and files like CSV, Excel, and PDF.
Private deployment
Runs fully within your cloud or on-premise infrastructure so no enterprise data is shared with external LLMs.
Semantic business layer
Resolves ambiguity in business terms without modifying your source databases.
Artifact storage
Save and reuse datasets, queries, charts, and code across workflows.
Enterprise integrations
APIs, schedulers, notifications, and internal tool workflows for production analytics.
