Ask anything. Defend every answer.

What takes 30–60 minutes by hand comes back in about thirty seconds. Talking Bird connects the databases, drives, wikis and document stores you already run, keeps millions of pages searchable and in sync, and answers in plain English — every number calculated from your own records, every claim naming the file it came from.

No card, no sales call to start. The free plan has a hard cap, so it can never produce an invoice.

The Problem

Operations teams are drowning in manual work

Staff handle dozens of daily queries, spending 30–60 minutes per request manually searching spreadsheets — with workload tripling during reporting season. And these answers go into board packs and funder reports, where approximately right is worth nothing at all.

Features

Built for
daily operations

Everything here exists to make one thing true: an answer you can forward without checking it first.

Totals that are calculated

Ask for a sum, a count or a comparison and it is worked out from the actual rows - not estimated by a model reading them. That is the difference between a figure you can send upward and one you have to check.

Answers that cite the file

Every answer drawn from a document names the file it came from, so anyone can open the source and see the wording for themselves.

Connects to what you already use

Airtable, Notion, SharePoint, Google Drive, Confluence, Jira and your own cloud storage. Paste one credential and pick your base, space or folder from a list.

Answers the email too

Connect Gmail or Outlook and incoming questions get a draft reply written from your own data, waiting for someone to approve it. Nothing sends without a person.

Charts without the spreadsheet

Bar, line and pie charts appear with the answer, built from the figures that were just calculated rather than redrawn by hand.

Runs where your data is allowed to be

Use it as a subscription in our cloud, or deploy it inside your own infrastructure for a one-time fee when the data cannot leave.

How It Works

From query to sent reply in seconds

Connect a source or drag files in, ask a question in plain English, and get an answer with its workings — then send the reply in one click.

1

Connect what you have

Connect Airtable, Notion, SharePoint, Drive, Confluence or Jira - or just drag files in. Everything is indexed automatically.

2

Ask in plain English

Type or speak your question: 'What was our headcount by department this quarter?'

3

Get an answer you can check

Figures are calculated from the actual rows, documents are quoted with the file named, and charts come with them.

4

Send the reply

Send any answer straight from chat through your connected Gmail or Outlook. One click, and a person is always the one who sends it.

The teams who stopped doing it by hand

Operations teams answering, in seconds, the questions that used to cost an afternoon.

We used to spend an afternoon pulling numbers together for a leadership update. Now the answer comes back in seconds, with the source attached.

It reads our own files and answers in our own vocabulary. Getting it running took a morning, not a quarter.

Every figure traces back to the row it came from. That is what made it usable for audit work, not just for browsing.

Pricing

One price for the
whole organisation

Billed annually per organisation, not per seat — so the price does not climb every time someone new joins your team. You pay for questions answered, never for how much you store. Founding customers keep their rate for as long as they stay.

How questions are counted
  • Extra questions on paid plans: ₹2 each, billed monthly in arrears - you are never cut off mid-sentence
  • The free plan stops at its limit instead, so it can never produce an invoice
  • A question on Terra counts as 10, on Sol as 20 - they cost that much more to answer
  • Transcribing a scanned page counts as a quarter of a question
  • Indexing, storage and syncing are free on every plan
  • Bring your own model key and no questions are counted at all
Usage alerts are sent at 70%, 85% and 100% of the included questions. All prices in INR, exclusive of applicable taxes.
