S11 Bonus: Moving Past Semantic Layers to Eliminate Hallucinations and Build Dependable Enterprise Data Agents with Tanmai Gopal, Co-Founder & CEO of PromptQL
Oct 23, 2025 · Season 11 · 27 min
Accuracy and trust in AI usage
Tanmai Gopal is a repeat guest on the podcast. Back in Season 7, he came on to tell the creation story of Hasura, which is a universal data access layer for next generations apps. He talked through he and his colleagues frustration with building API after API, and taking steps to ensure people wanted to not do that work anymore.
As Hasura started to take off, Tanmai started to ask the question around what was the right method for developers, in particular their applications, to access data. With the advent of AI, he and his team dug into what the right problems were to solve - and they identified the main problem with this type of tech was accuracy and trust.
This is the creation story of PromptQL.
