Today’s Update (Jan 15, 2026): Verified Ask Schema — AI Answers You Can Audit

📋 Today’s Platform Updates (January 15, 2026)

Today I shipped a major upgrade to Vizora’s Ask Schema feature.

The goal of this update was simple but hard to get right:

Reduce the AI debugging tax by making every answer verifiable.

Instead of “almost right” answers, Ask Schema now behaves like a schema reasoning engine.

✅ What Changed
Backend Improvements

  1. Question Classification Each incoming question is now classified before it reaches the AI:

Read / dependency / impact / risk

Destructive questions (delete/drop) are explicitly detected

  1. Strict Schema Context Formatting The AI now receives a tightly scoped, normalized schema context:

No raw dumps

No unrelated tables

No hidden assumptions

  1. Validated AI Response Structure Every response must include:

Risk indicator (low / medium / high)

Reasoning method (step-by-step trace)

Explicit schema evidence

If any part is missing, the response is rejected.

Frontend Improvements

  1. Risk Badges
    Each answer now shows a clear risk level — especially useful for destructive questions.

  2. Evidence Panel
    Answers include a dedicated panel showing:

Schema version

Referenced tables

Referenced columns

Relationships used

  1. Collapsible Reasoning Method Users can expand/collapse the AI’s reasoning to see how the answer was derived.

Why This Matters

Most AI tools fail not because they’re wrong —
but because engineers can’t verify them quickly.

This update shifts Ask Schema from:

❌ “Trust the AI”

✅ “Verify the reasoning”

Still building Vizora in public.
Feedback welcome, especially from backend engineers working with complex schemas.
