Terno — Your AI Data Scientist
Unlock fast, accurate insights on your data. Let AI handle the complexity so teams can focus on decisions. Built for enterprise security, multi-database workflows, and production-ready automation.
What is Terno AI?
Terno AI is an advanced AI Data Scientist platform that transforms how organizations interact with their data. It combines agentic reasoning, a virtual semantic database layer, enterprise-grade security, a Python sandbox, and a memory-driven analytics engine — all accessible through natural language.
Businesses use Terno AI to query databases, run analytics, clean and visualize data, build ML models, generate reports, and automate workflows using simple English instructions.
Key Features
Deployment Flexibility
Run Terno as a Web App, Desktop App, AWS AMI, or fully on-premises to match enterprise infrastructure needs.
Security & SQLShield
Prevents unsafe SQL, enforces RBAC, and ensures read-only, masked access so the LLM can never exfiltrate data directly.
Secure Python Sandbox
Run transformations, EDA, modeling and exports inside an isolated sandbox — Python code executes safely without risking your infra.
Multi-Database Connectivity
Connect PostgreSQL, MySQL, Snowflake, BigQuery, Databricks, and Oracle simultaneously — including cross-database joins in one conversation.
Memory Layer
Remembers prior interactions to attach examples and reduce LLM token usage while improving precision in analytics workflows.
Prompt Expansion
Store prompts with code words for reuse, making repeated workflows faster, standardized, and easier to share across your team.
Semantic DB Layer
Context-aware table & column understanding, FK inference, schema summarization and a metastore that retains business knowledge to generate accurate SQL.
RAG-Based Retrieval
Retrieves the most relevant tables using vector embeddings to supercharge SQL accuracy and speed up analysis.
Agentic Reasoning
Autonomous chain-of-thought agents plan, pick tools, run SQL/Python, self-debug, and convert chats into reusable app-services for production.
Data Analytics, Forecasting & Clustering
Automatically clean, preprocess, generate exploratory data analysis, forecast trends, cluster customers, and build ML models ready for production.
Interactive Visualizations & Files
Create charts, dashboards, and export data in CSV, PDF, HTML, JSON, PPT, and image formats for easy collaboration.
Workflow Automation
Convert any chat or process into a reusable Python function with parameters, runnable without invoking the LLM.
Multi-LLM Support
Connect to your preferred language model or local custom models for natural language analytics and generation.
Customizable Organization Prompts
Experiment with org-level prompt customizations to personalize Terno’s reasoning and SQL generation for your company’s domain.
