3. Revolutionary Query Pad

The crown jewel of Maniana's storage management is our one-of-a-kind Natural Language Query Pad. This groundbreaking feature allows you to query your data using plain English, eliminating the need to learn complex database query languages.

How It Works

Simply type what you want to know about your data, and Maniana's AI will understand your intent and return the results:

Natural Language Queries Examples:
