Oracle Overview
2 min read
Oracle is the AI inside Hawzu: ask a question about your project the way you would say it out loud, and get the records, chart or answer you need.
You don’t pick a mode. Oracle works out what kind of answer your question needs.
Two Ways In
Section titled “Two Ways In”-
The Oracle page. Select Oracle at the top of the project sidebar. This has the most room: tables you can sort and export, charts, and records that open in a panel beside the answer.
-
The assistant panel. Select Ask Oracle in the header on any screen. It opens a panel on the right and holds a short conversation. Anything that needs more room, such as a chart, a form or a long table, gets a link to the Oracle page.
Five Kinds of Answer
Section titled “Five Kinds of Answer”| You ask | You get |
|---|---|
Open critical defects with no test case linked | A table of the matching records, with the count and every condition used |
How many test cases per folder | A count per group: one line per value, biggest first |
Automation over the last 30 days | A chart, with controls to change its type or time window |
How do I set up a CI pipeline? | An answer from documents, naming the source it used |
Let's create a test case | The create form, opened beside you |
Most questions get a table. See Ask Your Records.
Counts per group and charts look alike but aren’t the same. A breakdown by one category comes back as exact numbers you can read and quote. A breakdown over time, or two fields crossed against each other, comes back as a chart. Adding a condition makes it a count: never-executed test cases per folder can only be counted, because a chart can’t filter.
Check What It Understood
Section titled “Check What It Understood”Every answer shows the conditions Oracle used, above the result, under Understood as. Each one shows the exact date, name or value it used.
If you typed “the last 10 days”, the condition reads Created on or after 2026-08-15, the actual date. If you typed a person’s name, it shows the team member it matched.
This lets you check the answer. A count with no conditions shown has to be trusted; a count with its conditions shown can be checked.
Select the × on any condition to remove it. The answer updates straight away and doesn’t use AI again. See How to Ask.
What It Won’t Do
Section titled “What It Won’t Do”Oracle tells you when it can’t answer, instead of guessing.
- Questions about duration, effort, cost, who is fastest, or what will happen next can’t be answered, because nothing in your project records them.
- A vague question gets one short question back, with two to four answers you can select.
- A name it doesn’t know gets a clear message, such as “There is no member called Sarah”, not an empty table that looks like good news.
