Kind of goes in the direction of what Thoughtspot (https://www.thoughtspot.com/) is doing (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D-y_EjFsDuk)

As far as I care, Google Sheets has beaten several BI companies towards "Natural Language Querying" by being free and accessible to everyone.
Looks like a good idea. But, where does it get its data from?

Does it perform NLP on company documents?

Honestly I don't know, I do not work for Thoughtspot.

My assumption is that it works on metadata coming from a relational schema with a rule parser on top.

Honestly I don't see how it would work well enough if it was based on NLP of unstructured data.
