  • If you can do this, can't you create a read-only user and use it with a database MCP like https://github.com/executeautomation/mcp-database-server ? Am I missing something?

  • Am I misunderstanding something? How is this "Everything runs locally" if it's talking to OpenAI's APIs?

  • Looks useful! And the system prompt didn't require too much finessing. I wonder how it would work with some later models than gpt-4o as in my own dabbling around gpt-4o wasn't quite there yet and the latest models are getting really good.

    For analytical purposes, this text-to-SQL is the future; it's already huge with Snowflake (https://www.snowflake.com/en/engineering-blog/cortex-analyst...).

  • I was looking for something like this that supports graphs.

  • Are there plans to support other LLM sources, in particular ollama?

  • Looks like a good idea. Any reason you didn't use React native?

  • I like this a lot. I am looking forward to having something similar built into Metabase.

  • Would love to contribute. I have made a fork, will try and raise a PR if contributions are welcome.

    Question, how are you testing this? Like doing it on dummy data is a bit too easy. These models, even 4o, falter when it comes to something really specific to a domain (like I work with supply chain data and other column names specific to the work that I do, that only makes sense to me and my team, but wouldn't make any sense to an LLM unless it somehow knows what those columns are)

  • This is nice -- we're heavy users of postgresql and haven't found the right tool here yet.

    I could see this being incredible if it had a set of performance related queries or ran explain analyze and offered some interpreted results.

    Can this be run fully locally with a local llm?

  • Great tool!

    Pardon my technical ignorance, but what exactly is OpenAI's API being used for in this?
