Oracle Overview
2 min read
Oracle is the AI inside Hawzu. You ask a question about your project the way you would say it out loud, and Oracle works out what kind of answer the question wanted before it works out the answer.
You never pick a mode.
Two Ways In
Section titled “Two Ways In”-
The Oracle page. Select Oracle at the top of the project sidebar. This is the full surface: tables you can sort and export, charts, and records that open in a panel beside the answer.
-
The assistant. Select Ask Oracle in the header on any screen. It opens a panel on the right, holds a short conversation, and hands anything that needs room — a chart, a form, a long table — to the Oracle page.
Four Shapes of Answer
Section titled “Four Shapes of Answer”Oracle decides which of these your sentence asked for.
| You ask | You get |
|---|---|
Open critical defects with no test case linked | A table of the matching records, with the count and every condition it applied |
Automation over the last 30 days | A chart, with controls to change its type or window |
How do I set up a CI pipeline? | An answer from documents, citing the source it used |
Let's create a test case | The create form, opened beside you |
The first is the one most questions land on. See Ask Your Records.
What Makes It Checkable
Section titled “What Makes It Checkable”Every answer prints the conditions Oracle applied, in resolved terms, above the result.
If you typed “the last 10 days”, the condition reads Created on or after 2026-08-15 — the date it actually computed. If you typed a person’s name, it reads the member it resolved to.
This matters more than it looks. A natural-language query’s characteristic failure is not an error: it is a well-formed answer to a question nobody asked. A count with no conditions shown is a number you have to trust. A count with its conditions shown is a number you can check.
Select the × on any condition and the answer re-runs immediately, without calling a model.
What It Will Not Do
Section titled “What It Will Not Do”Oracle refuses rather than guessing.
- Questions about duration, effort, cost, who is fastest, or what will happen next come back as unanswerable, because nothing in your project records that.
- A vague question comes back as one short question with two to four answers you can select.
- An unknown name comes back as a refusal — “There is no member called Sarah” — rather than an empty table you would have read as good news.
