Nexus, Nuklai's AI-powered query engine, simplifies data interaction by understanding context like a human conversation.
Inspired by the parenting book “How2talk2kids,” the tool emphasizes clarity, accessibility, and meaningful engagement.
Even non-technical users can explore complex datasets and generate production-ready queries using natural language.
Many Dutch parents will recognize the book “How2talk2kids.” It’s a go-to guide that helps parents communicate more effectively, set healthy boundaries, and raise confident, self-supporting children. What struck me recently is how similar its philosophy is to what we’re doing with Nexus, our AI-powered query engine at Nuklai.
When playing around with the beta version of Nexus, it suddenly hit me:
Nexus does for data what that book does for kids.
How Parenting Advice Led to a Data Breakthrough
It transforms the way we interact with our data. It makes communication clearer, gets better results, and opens the door for even non-technical users to ask meaningful questions and receive intelligent answers. Nexus doesn’t just follow rules—it understands context, just like the book teaches us to do with our kids.
Let me give you an example.
Imagine a dataset with albums, songs, and lyrics. A typical question might be:
“List all the songs on the album Let’s Fall in Love.”
With Nexus, that’s easy. But now let’s go deeper:
“How many of these songs are about love?”

The Power of Context in Queries
This is where traditional query systems struggle—but not Nexus. Because it uses Large Language Models (LLMs) to understand the context, it can recognize that songs with titles like “You and Me” or “Finally Together” may also be about love—even if the word “love” doesn’t appear in the title.
A traditional SQL query wouldn’t get you that nuance—unless a skilled engineer spent significant time building it. But with Nexus, even a non-technical analyst can explore complex relationships in the data and, when ready, ask the Agent to generate a clean query for production or integration.

Turning Data Lakes into Dialogue Partners
That’s the magic of Nexus:
It turns your data lake into a conversation partner—making companies more data-driven, faster, and more inclusive in how they leverage information.
