Entering the Era of Intelligence: Ada.im Launches Large Model-Driven Metrics Platform

Keywords: Metrics Platform, Large Model-Driven, Data Democratization, Intelligent Analytics, Hyper Metrics Engine

Executive summary

Ada.im has officially released its next-generation, large model-driven metrics platform, representing a major step into the "Indicator Platform 3.0" era. The unified system integrates management, development, and application to make data dramatically easier for business teams to use.

  • High performance: Millisecond-level queries on large datasets
  • Automation: One-click integration, lineage, versioning, and pre-computation
  • Intelligence: Natural language queries and automated reporting via a smart assistant

By combining NL2MQL (Natural Language to Metric Query Language) with intelligent agent technology, the platform avoids common NL2SQL pitfalls and delivers accurate, stable, efficient analytics.

Understanding the metrics platform

A metrics platform is a unified tool for defining, processing, managing, and using business metrics. It enables self-service creation and access, custom dashboards, smart alerting, and root-cause analysis to align daily operations with business goals.

The evolution: From 1.0 to 3.0

Three-generation evolution of metrics platforms from management to development to application
The three-generation evolution of metrics platforms: management → development → application.

The 1.0 era: Management foundation

  • Focus: Metric management and cataloging
  • Context: Built within data middleware frameworks
  • Limitations: Limited development capabilities; fragmented definitions

The 2.0 era: Unified development

  • Integration: Management + development
  • Approach: Define once, use everywhere
  • Benefits: Unified definitions and cross-business reuse

The 3.0 era: Complete integration

  • Drag-and-drop access for non-technical users
  • Natural language querying for instant reports
  • One-click smart alerts with root-cause analysis
  • Automated insights for fast, effective data use
“Platform 3.0 isn't just about managing metrics or creating them—it's about making data insights immediately actionable for every business user, regardless of technical expertise.” — Tan Li, Co-founder, Ada.im

High-performance, automated, and intelligent upgrades

1. High performance: Solving the “impossible triangle”

The platform uses leading MPP database technology to deliver 5–10x speed improvements. Ada.im’s Hyper Metrics Engine (HME) enables highly flexible analysis with millisecond-level access, optimizing virtual and pre-computed metrics to achieve flexibility, speed, and low cost simultaneously.

Traditional trade-offs

  • Flexibility + speed = high cost
  • Speed + low cost = low flexibility
  • Flexibility + low cost = slow processing

How HME resolves them

  1. Intelligent pre-computation
  2. Virtual metric management
  3. Adaptive query routing
  4. Distributed processing

Performance highlights

  • Query response: < 100ms for 90th percentile
  • Scale: Billions of records with sub-second response
  • Concurrency: Thousands of users
  • Cost: 70–80% reduction vs. traditional approaches

2. Automation: Eliminating manual operations

Automated data integration

  • Auto-discovery: Finds data sources
  • Smart mapping: Handles schema changes
  • Speed: Minutes, not days

Automated metric lineage

  • Origins & transformations
  • Dependencies & logic
  • Downstream usage
  • Change history

Automated version management

  • Tracking: All changes
  • Propagation: Updates dependencies
  • Rollback: One-click

Automated pre-calculation

  • Identification: Frequent metrics
  • Optimization: Granularity and refresh
  • Impact: Near-instant common queries with lower compute

3. Intelligence: Natural language meets business analytics

Conversational queries

Business users ask in plain language and receive instant, accurate answers—no technical training required.

Smart attribution and knowledge use

  • Root causes of metric changes
  • Context via knowledge bases
  • Domain methods and impact prioritization

Automated reports

  • Comprehensive narratives and recommendations
  • Scheduled or on-demand delivery

Ada.im’s large model-driven path: NL2MQL + agent

Limitations of large models alone

Direct NL2SQL often suffers from semantic gaps, accuracy issues, slow performance, and unreliable interpretation.

Four challenges with direct large model interaction for enterprise data queries
Four critical challenges prevent LLMs from handling enterprise data queries alone.

Integrated solution: Platform + LLMs + agents

NL2MQL innovation

Two-step translation improves accuracy and speed:

  1. Natural language → metric semantics
  2. Metric semantics → optimized SQL

HME integration
