Hermes for Banking
Turns plain-language questions into SQL and builds live dashboards over your own databases. Ask in Azerbaijani, Russian or English.
Hermes for Banking
Hermes is a self-hosted analytics assistant purpose-built for banks operating under Central Bank of Azerbaijan supervision and strict banking-secrecy obligations. It converts plain-language questions written in Azerbaijani, Russian, or English into precise SQL queries that execute directly against your own databases, meaning no customer records, account details, or transaction data ever leave your controlled infrastructure. Whether your teams need on-demand answers about loan portfolios, complaint volumes, or liquidity positions, Hermes delivers those answers in seconds without requiring any SQL knowledge from the business user asking the question.
Why Banks Choose Hermes
Complete data residency: Hermes runs entirely on your own Docker infrastructure, ensuring that customer data, query results, and database credentials are never transmitted to any external service or foreign cloud environment.
Banking-secrecy compliance by design: the system connects through a read-only, least-privilege database role restricted exclusively to SELECT statements, making accidental data modification, deletion, or unauthorized export structurally impossible.
Trilingual workforce support: staff can ask questions in Azerbaijani, Russian, or English without switching tools, retraining, or waiting for translation, matching the actual working languages used across Azerbaijani banking operations.
Audit-ready SQL transparency: every answer surfaces the precise SQL query that produced it, giving compliance officers and internal audit teams a verifiable, reproducible record they can present during regulatory reviews or internal investigations.
Faster regulatory and management reporting: live dashboards connected directly to your databases replace time-consuming manual data pulls, reducing the lag between a business question and a reliable, current answer.
Operational self-service for business teams: support, collections, and operations staff can retrieve data answers independently instead of queuing requests to IT or analytics, freeing technical teams for higher-value work.
Core Capabilities
Plain-Language to SQL
Ask a question in natural language and Hermes translates it into a precise SQL query matched to your database schema — no query-writing skills required from business users, regardless of technical background.
Live Dashboards on Your Data
Build and continuously refresh dashboards directly over your own databases. Metrics stay current without manual exports, scheduled jobs, or reliance on third-party data warehouses.
Trilingual Interface
Hermes understands and responds in Azerbaijani, Russian, and English, matching the working language of every team across your bank and removing language as a barrier to data access.
Read-Only by Design
Hermes connects through a least-privilege database role restricted to SELECT statements only. It cannot modify, delete, or export data, structurally reducing both operational and compliance risk.
Full SQL Transparency
Every answer surfaces the exact SQL query that produced it. Compliance officers, auditors, and risk teams can verify the logic and data sources behind any figure at any time, with no black-box outputs.
Self-Hosted Deployment
Hermes drops onto any Docker host inside your own environment with no dependency on external cloud services, directly satisfying data-residency requirements and banking-secrecy obligations under Azerbaijani law.
How Hermes Works
Frequently Asked Questions
Does Hermes send any customer data to external servers?
No. Hermes is entirely self-hosted and runs within your own infrastructure. No customer data, query results, database credentials, or schema information are transmitted to any external service at any point during normal operation.
How does Hermes support banking-secrecy and data-residency compliance?
Hermes is deployed on your own Docker host and never establishes outbound connections to third-party cloud services, keeping all data within your security perimeter. Its read-only database role prevents any data modification or export, and the SQL transparency feature produces a clear, timestamped audit trail for every data access event — supporting both internal governance and regulatory examination requirements.
Can Hermes modify or delete data in our databases?
No. Hermes is read-only by design. It connects through a least-privilege database role restricted exclusively to SELECT statements, making it structurally incapable of inserting, updating, deleting, or exporting data regardless of how a question is phrased.
Which languages does Hermes support, and can different users work in different languages simultaneously?
Hermes supports Azerbaijani, Russian, and English. Each user can ask questions in whichever language they prefer, and Hermes responds in that same language. There is no need to configure a single language for the entire organization — multilingual use across teams is supported by default.
How can compliance and audit teams verify the answers Hermes provides?
Every answer Hermes returns includes the exact SQL query it executed to produce that result. Compliance officers and internal auditors can review, reproduce, and document the precise logic behind any figure, making Hermes outputs suitable as evidence in regulatory reviews or internal investigations without additional manual verification steps.
