Architecture of Terno

"Terno’s architecture blends modular intelligence with secure, semantic access to enterprise data.
Designed for scalability, extensibility, and precision across diverse tools and databases."

Metastore:

Keeps important business knowledge, either provided by experts or automatically learned from your data, to help generate more accurate SQL queries.

Automatically keeps your data catalog up to date so you always have an accurate view of your data structure.

Analyzes your data to uncover useful insights and improve the quality and relevance of the queries it generates.

SQLShield:

Query Sanitization: Prevents harmful SQL execution and enforces Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) without direct database interaction.

Optimized Query Generation: Minimizes prompt size while boosting the efficiency of LLM-generated SQL.

Enterprise Security: Guards against SQL injection and unauthorized access.

Semantic Layer on Databases:

Databases are critical for organizations but are limited to syntactic searches rather than semantic understanding.

For example: searching for "blue jeans" in an e-commerce database might miss products labeled "navy denims" due to keyword-based limitations.

Terno AI addresses this with a semantic layer, enabling text searches based on meaning and similarity, not just exact matches.

Multi-Database Support:

Terno can analyse across databases. You can add as many Database connected as you want and try analyzing multiple datasource in one query.

Works with major databases like PostgreSQL, MySQL, BigQuery, and more.

Also integrates with most ERPs such as Odoo.

Can work with files like pdf, csv, excel, etc.

Artifact Store:

Terno AI generates intermediate artifacts, such as datasets, machine learning models, code, graphs, and charts, to answer complex queries.

These artifacts are saved in the Artifact Store, making them reusable across teams.

This accelerates result generation and enhances data understanding within organizations.

Enterprise Tooling Augmentation:

Every organization has unique workflows, such as sending emails, calling internal APIs, or scheduling jobs.

Terno AI offers an extensible tooling augmentation layer to integrate with these processes.

For example, you can instruct Terno to: "send a report via email to my team every Monday morning."
