# How CorralData Works

You’re in! You’ve created your account and are ready to start making the most of the platform. CorralData takes the guesswork out of connecting your data sources, building reports, and gaining actionable insights.

### How it works:

Your data belongs to you. That’s why **we don’t co-mingle data**. Instead, a unique data warehouse is generated just for your account so it’s safely and securely retained.

After you connect out-of-the-box sources, **raw data is synced down** and dashboards are generated (where available, depending on source).&#x20;

Our reporting process, which uses Standard Query Language (SQL), lets you **directly interact with your data using plain English**. SQL is a powerful and widely recognized language for managing and querying databases. The combination of SQL and interacting with AskCorral using simple questions allows you to easily **pull the exact information** you need and **create custom reports** — any time.

Your account's AI model is more than just a tool; it's an intelligent partner that grows with your data. This approach **ensures that the AI's understanding of your data landscape is always current**, comprehensive, and deeply integrated. This includes information such as table schemas, column names, data types, relationships between tables, and even contextual notes you might add.
