An alternative to manual reporting

An alternative to manual reporting: a local, on-prem alternative for Azerbaijani business — see how Hermes compares.

Modernize Your Data Reporting

Most businesses still rely on manual analyst requests or static spreadsheet exports to answer everyday data questions. This traditional approach creates significant operational bottlenecks, where decision-makers must wait hours or days for a report, increasing the risk of human error and delaying critical business responses. Hermes, developed by Allmaz, eliminates these frictions by providing a self-hosted, on-premises solution that empowers any team member to interact with their data directly. By transforming plain-language questions into precise SQL queries, Hermes allows users to generate live answers and dynamic dashboards straight from their own databases. Unlike black-box AI tools, Hermes prioritizes complete transparency and security; it reveals the exact SQL executed for every response and operates on a strict read-only basis. This ensures that your organization gains the speed of AI-driven insights without compromising data integrity or privacy.

Capabilities

The Hermes Advantage

Eliminate SQL barriers by asking questions in Azerbaijani, Russian, or English

Access real-time insights from live databases instead of relying on stale exports

Maintain total auditability with the exact SQL query displayed for every answer

Ensure maximum security via a read-only, least-privilege role that prevents data modification

Guarantee data sovereignty by self-hosting the entire system on your own infrastructure

Simplify deployment using a Docker-based architecture that fits into existing environments

Core Capabilities

Plain-language to SQL

Hermes translates natural-language questions directly into SQL queries, letting anyone on your team interrogate data without writing a single line of code.

Live dashboards over your own databases

Instead of scheduled exports or manual refreshes, Hermes builds dashboards that query your databases in real time, so the numbers you see are always current.

Trilingual interface

Hermes understands and responds in Azerbaijani, Russian, and English — making it practical for the full range of teams operating in Azerbaijan and the wider region.

Full SQL transparency

Every answer is accompanied by the exact SQL statement Hermes ran. Teams can audit, verify, or hand off that query to a developer without guesswork.

Read-only, least-privilege access

Hermes connects through a role that can only SELECT. It cannot insert, update, or delete records, giving your data team confidence that the tool cannot alter production data.

Self-hosted on any Docker host

Hermes drops onto any Docker-compatible host, on-premises or in a private cloud. Your data stays inside your own environment, meeting local data-residency expectations.

Implementation Process

1Deploy Hermes on your own Docker host — on-premises or in a private cloud environment.
2Connect it to your existing databases using a read-only, SELECT-only role.
3Type a question in Azerbaijani, Russian, or English, just as you would ask a colleague.
4Hermes converts your question into SQL and runs it live against your database.
5Review the answer alongside the exact SQL query that produced it.
6Pin results to a live dashboard that refreshes directly from your data source.

Common Questions

Does Hermes send my data to an external server or cloud service?

No. Hermes is fully self-hosted. It runs on your own infrastructure, ensuring your data never leaves your controlled environment.

Can Hermes modify or delete records in my database?

No. By design, Hermes uses a least-privilege role restricted to SELECT operations only, meaning it cannot insert, update, or delete any data.

What languages are supported for querying?

Hermes is trilingual, supporting Azerbaijani, Russian, and English to accommodate diverse teams across the region.

How can I verify the accuracy of the generated answers?

Hermes provides full transparency by displaying the exact SQL query it executed for every answer, allowing you to audit or verify the logic independently.

What are the technical requirements for deployment?

Hermes is packaged as a Docker image and can be deployed on any host that supports Docker, including on-premises servers or private cloud instances.
