Technical mode

What is it?

When using the "technical mode" the chatbot will show the SQL code in its responses and will communicate more specifically about SQL code, and specific tables and columns. The chatbot may also ask the user how to join certain tables or filter on columns, since it assumes technical users know how to.

Non-technical mode

What is it?

When using the "Non-technical mode" the AI will generate and run the SQL code in the background. The chatbot will usually not mention technical specifics about tables, columns, and SQL code, and will avoid asking the user for help with database specifics as it assumes non-technical users aren't familiar with the database.

Switching between technical and non-technical mode

When registering for BlazeSQL, users are asked if they are "Non-technical" or "Technical", which will configure the app accordingly.

The setting can be changed by switching the "Non-technical" setting in the "Chatbot settings" section of the settings page.

Simplified mode

A cleaner interface designed for business users who want to ask questions without technical complexity.

What you'll see

When simplified mode is enabled, your chat interface focuses only on what matters: asking questions and getting answers. Technical elements are hidden to keep things simple and distraction-free.

What's hidden?

• Database selection - No dropdown to switch between databases
• Table structure panel - No sidebar showing database tables and columns
• Model settings - No AI model selection options

This streamlined view is perfect for team members who:

• Work with a single database
• Focus on asking business questions
• Prefer a simple, no-code analytics experience

How to enable it

For team admins:

When inviting new members, check "Simplified mode" in the invitation dialog. The invited user will automatically have both settings enabled.

For existing team members, you can enable it from the Teams page by editing the member and toggling "Simplified UI".

Preview it yourself:

If you're a team admin with a connected database, you can preview simplified mode:

1. Go to Settings
2. Enable "Non-technical mode"
3. Enable "Simplified UI"

Note: Simplified mode requires Non-technical mode to be enabled. When you invite users with simplified mode, both settings are automatically configured.
