Explore the sample company

Curio is a made-up company that comes with Querri. Load it into a workspace and you can try everything on data that behaves like the real thing, before you bring in your own. Examples throughout these docs use it.

What Curio is

Curio makes paper products and sells them wholesale to offices, in its own stores, and online. Its data comes from the systems a company like that runs on: NetSuite, Salesforce, Shopify, Square, Meta Ads, Google Ads and ShipStation, plus a warehouse of raw exports that nobody has cleaned up. It covers January 2024 to September 2025.

The data is invented, but it holds together. The same customer turns up in several systems under different IDs, one product has a different SKU in each sales channel, and a single campaign runs across all of them. So the answers you get actually mean something.

Some of it is messy on purpose. One marketplace export writes its dates several different ways and repeats order IDs with different amounts, which is the kind of mess real data has.

Along with the tables, Curio brings collections, questions and KPIs to explore them with.

The Curio Library in these docs’ examples has been in use for a while. People have asked it questions and decided on the Librarian’s suggestions, so it has views, KPIs, facts and questions that a fresh install doesn’t start with. Yours fills in the same way as you and the Librarian work in it. See How the Library learns.

Load it during onboarding

When you set up Querri for the first time, you can load Curio on the step that asks you to bring your data in.

1. On “Let’s bring your data in.”, choose Explore with sample data.
2. Under “Which sample would you like?”, pick A ready made company.
3. Click Set it up. While Querri builds it, the card reads “Setting up your data”. If you don’t want to wait, Go in while this finishes takes you straight to your Library.
4. When the card reads “Your data is ready”, click Let’s go! to open your Library.

1. Data like mine: tables generated to match your kind of business.
2. A ready made company: Curio.
3. Set it up: load the sample you picked.

Data like mine is listed first and picked at first. It generates a set of tables from a description of your business, which Querri drafts from your website and the questions you just set. It’s handy for seeing data shaped like yours, but these docs follow Curio.

Curio goes into the workspace onboarding takes you to, whether that’s shared with your company or your own private one.

Load it from Settings

An admin can add Curio to any shared workspace.

1. Click your picture at the bottom of the rail, then Settings.
2. Under Organization, open Workspaces, and click Manage on the workspace you want.
3. Open the Demo data tab.
4. Pick a size: Standard, the recommended one, or Small, which installs faster but makes charts look sparse.
5. Click Install demo data.

It takes a few minutes and keeps going if you leave the page. When it’s done, the tab says “Demo data is installed in this workspace.” and counts what came in.

1. What Curio is, at the top of the tab.
2. Where things stand: installed, or the size to pick.
3. What came in, counted by kind.

Workspaces covers the rest of the tab, including taking Curio out again with Remove demo data.

Look around

Open Library on the rail. Curio’s tables are on the Files tab, and the collections, questions and KPIs that came with it are under Collections, Questions and Metrics. Browsing the Library and Knowledge tabs explain what you’re looking at.

Ask it three questions

Ask these in Librarian chat, beside the Library. Each one is about a different part of the business.

1. “What is our current finished-goods inventory by warehouse?” You get a table with a row for each warehouse.
2. “Which of our Square retail stores sold the most and the least in 2025?” You get the best and worst stores, with their sales.
3. “What is our return on ad spend for Meta versus Google?” You get the two ad platforms compared.

When an answer comes back as a table, Show the query opens the SQL behind it. Reading an answer covers the rest of what an answer shows. Each message you send the Librarian uses a credit; see Credits.

Next steps

• Your first 30 minutes: onboarding with your own business and data.
• Start with questions, not tables: why Curio’s Library is built around questions.
• Chat and the Librarian: everything the chat panel does.
• Workspaces: where Curio lives, and who can see it.
