I see two use cases.
1. Give non-technical people a way to answer their own questions using data in a database which would free up analyst time.
2. Give analysts a way to quickly answer a question and they only have to go to SQL for more complicated questions. It is faster for me to type "who is the highest paid employee" than the equivalent SQL even though the SQL is trivial because I don't have to look up the schema and my fingers are better at typing an English sentence than a SQL query.
