What Smundar is
A semantic layer that understands your business and proves it
Questions execute against approved, deterministic query templates. A language model never writes SQL against your data.
Understands
Smundar maps your schema to your business terminology (customers, orders, revenue), not table and column names.
Governs
Smundar proposes; your team approves. Nothing answers questions until a person has signed off.
Explains
Every execution records what was selected, what was rejected, and how confident Smundar was.
How it works
From connection to trusted answers in four steps
- 1
Connect, read-only
Read-only credentials, encrypted at rest, scoped to approved tables. Revocable at any time.
- 2
Map your terminology
Smundar analyzes your schema and proposes mappings to your business terminology.
- 3
Approve the knowledge
Your team reviews every dataset, mapping, and business intent. Only approved knowledge can answer.
- 4
Ask anywhere
App, API, or any MCP client. Every answer is deterministic and explained.
The product
What working with Smundar looks like
Semantic Query
Ask in plain language
Type the question the way your business asks it. Smundar matches it to approved knowledge. No SQL and no schema knowledge required.
Explainability
See why an answer was chosen
Every answer opens into its execution trace: the dataset selected, the candidates rejected, resolved parameters, and a confidence label.
Business System Resolution
The right system, every time
When more than one connected system could answer, Smundar resolves the right one or asks you to choose. It never silently guesses.
Governance
Approve what AI can know
Datasets, mappings, and business intents wait for human approval before they can answer. Your team decides what production knowledge looks like.
MCP
Any MCP client, governed
Connect MCP clients with scoped API keys. AI agents inherit the same approvals, determinism, and audit trail as everyone else.
Why deterministic AI matters
When AI guesses against your database, a wrong answer looks exactly like a right one
Text-to-SQL demos well and fails quietly. Smundar separates interpretation from execution: models may help understand the question, but only approved, deterministic logic touches your data.
| Typical text-to-SQL | Smundar | |
|---|---|---|
| Who writes the query | A language model guesses SQL from your schema | A human-approved, deterministic query template |
| Same question, asked twice | May produce different SQL and different answers | Identical execution, identical answer |
| Wrong-but-plausible answers | Look exactly like right answers | Structurally prevented: only approved logic runs |
| When it can't answer confidently | Guesses anyway | Refuses explicitly and asks for clarification |
| Auditability | Opaque model output | Full execution trace: selection, rejection, parameters, confidence |
Key features
Built for organizations that need answers they can stand behind
Deterministic execution
The same question always runs the same approved logic. Answers are repeatable, testable, and defensible.
Explainable results
Every answer shows what was selected, what was rejected, how parameters were resolved, and why.
Governed semantic layer
Business knowledge lives in a reviewed, versioned layer your team controls, not in a prompt.
No hallucinated SQL
Language models never write SQL against your database. Only approved query templates execute.
Human-approved knowledge
Datasets, mappings, and business intents pass an explicit approval workflow before they can answer anything.
Enterprise security
Read-only access, encrypted credentials, role-based access control, and a full audit trail of every execution.
Multi-connector support
Ten databases and warehouses, from SQL Server to Snowflake, behind one consistent semantic layer.
MCP for AI agents
AI agents connect through the Model Context Protocol and inherit the same governance as every other caller.
Supported connectors
One semantic layer across ten databases and warehouses
Connect the systems you already run. Every connector gets the same governance, determinism, and explainability.
Security
Enterprise security, without the asterisks
Built for environments where data access must be scoped, governed, and auditable.
Read-only by design
Smundar queries your data; it never modifies your source systems.
Encrypted credentials
Connection credentials are encrypted at rest and never exposed in the UI, API, or logs.
Role-based access control
Owner, Admin, and User roles gate every governance and administrative action.
Full auditability
Every semantic execution is logged with its complete execution trace.
Your data stays yours
Queries execute directly against your database. Smundar is not a data warehouse and does not train models on your data.
Revocable at any time
Rotate or revoke credentials whenever you choose. Access ends immediately.
Proof before purchase
Validate Smundar on your own data. Free.
Before you commit to anything, watch Smundar answer the questions your business actually asks, using your own data.
Choose your questions
Select up to 30 business questions that matter most to your organization.
Grant safe access
Read-only access to a test, staging, or sanitized environment containing the relevant data.
We do the work
We configure Smundar, map your terminology, and validate every scenario at no cost.
Your safeguards
- • Access is limited to approved tables and read-only operations
- • Smundar never modifies your source systems
- • Credentials can be revoked at any time
- • No obligation, no payment details, no lock-in
If Smundar demonstrates value through deterministic execution, explainable answers, and fast responses, we’ll discuss a production deployment. If not, revoke access and walk away.

FAQ
Common questions
How is Smundar different from text-to-SQL tools?
Text-to-SQL tools ask a language model to write SQL against your schema. SQL is generated for each request, so the result depends on whatever query the model produced that time. Smundar never lets a model write SQL. Questions match human-approved, deterministic query templates: the same question always runs the same logic, and every answer carries its explanation.
Can Smundar modify my data?
No. Smundar operates read-only by design. It executes approved read queries against your database and never writes to your source systems.
What happens when Smundar can't answer confidently?
It refuses and tells you why, asking for clarification or showing which business knowledge is missing. Smundar never silently guesses, because a confident wrong answer is worse than no answer.
What is MCP, and which AI assistants can connect?
The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open standard that lets AI assistants and agents use external tools. Smundar exposes its semantic layer over MCP — certified against MCP Inspector, the OpenAI Agents SDK, LangChain, and raw JSON-RPC, with Claude Desktop supported via a local bridge — so any conforming client can query your data with the same governance, determinism, and audit trail as a person using the app.
Which databases does Smundar support?
SQL Server, PostgreSQL, MySQL, MariaDB, Oracle, Snowflake, Databricks, ClickHouse, Google BigQuery, and Amazon Redshift, all behind one consistent semantic layer.
What IP address do I need to whitelist for my database firewall?
145.132.40.28 — Smundar's dedicated static outbound IP for all production database connections. Whitelist it if your SQL Server, PostgreSQL, MySQL, MariaDB, Oracle, MongoDB, ClickHouse, or Redshift database sits behind a firewall or security group. It doesn't apply to Snowflake, Databricks, or BigQuery, which Smundar reaches over the provider's own managed API endpoint rather than a customer-operated firewall.
Do you train models on our data?
No. Your data stays in your database. Smundar's semantic layer stores approved business knowledge (terminology, mappings, query templates), not your records, and nothing is used to train models.
How does the free validation pilot work?
You pick up to 30 real business questions and grant read-only access to a test, staging, or sanitized environment. We configure Smundar, map your terminology, and validate every scenario at no cost. If the results earn your trust, we discuss production; if not, you revoke access and walk away.
