    camelAI turns your database into an AI data analyst. Ask questions in plain English, get instant reports with visualizations - no SQL required. Why we built this: - Business teams waste hours waiting for data analysts to build dashboards - Non-technical founders can't get quick insights from their own data - Writing SQL queries is a barrier to data-driven decisions What makes it different: - Uses DuckDB to query terabytes in seconds (built-in, no setup needed) - Supports advanced analytics (cohort analysis, statistical computations) not just basic SQL - Multi-turn conversations: AI explores…

    Hi HN community. We are excited to open source Dataherald’s natural-language-to-SQL engine today (https://github.com/Dataherald/dataherald). This engine allows you to set up an API from your structured database that can answer questions in plain English. GPT-4 class LLMs have gotten remarkably good at writing SQL. However, out-of-the-box LLMs and existing frameworks would not work with our own structured data at a necessary quality level. For example, given the question “what was the average rent in Los Angeles in May 2023?” a reasonable human would either assume the…

    Hi HN, We're Luke and Phillip, and we're building Spice.ai OSS - a lightweight, portable runtime, built in Rust and powered by Apache DataFusion to locally materialize, accelerate, and query data tables sourced from any database, data warehouse or data lake. Phillip and I first introduced Spice on Show HN in September 2021. Since then, we’ve been schooled and humbled in every way building 100TB+ data and ML systems for the https://spice.ai cloud platform. Along with our customers, we struggled with getting fast, low-latency, high-concurrency SQL query within a budget, accessing and…

    Hey there HN! We've just open-sourced Vanna – a Python package that allows you to transform questions into SQL. We've leveraged LLMs to enable you to "ask" databases what you need, bypassing the need to "write" complex SQL. Quick Overview: - "Train" using DDL statements, documentation, or known correct SQL statements. - "Ask" questions in natural language and receive SQL, tables, and charts in return. - Open Source Flexibility: Swap storage mechanisms, customize LLMs, and choose your databases. - Local or Hosted: Operate everything locally or use our hosted version for free (including…

    SnapQL is an open-source desktop app (built with Electron) that lets you query your Postgres database using natural language. It’s schema-aware, so you don’t need to copy-paste your schema or write complex SQL by hand. Everything runs locally — your OpenAI API key, your data, and your queries — so it's secure and private. Just connect your DB, describe what you want, and SnapQL writes and runs the SQL for you.

    Simon(sfarshid) and I spend a lot of time on GitHub. As data nerds we put together a quick tool to explore your repository’s data. How it works: - Data Loading: We use dlt to pull data (issues, PRs, commits, stars) from GitHub - Semantic Layer: Relta wraps the underlying dataset into a semantic layer so the LLM doesn’t hallucinate. - Text-to-SQL: A text-to-SQL agent transforms your plain-English question into a query using the semantic layer - Generative Charts: assistant-ui dynamically generates a chart based on the SQL query - Refinements: If the semantic layer can’t handle your question,…

    Hey, For those of you who don't know my little tool Musoq, I wanted to introduce it as a small tool that allows you to query with SQL-like syntax without any database. It allows you to query various things from niche ones like CAN DBC files, weird ones like C# code, interesting ones with Git querying to regular stuff like CSV, TSV and various others. I am quite a bit experimenting with various things so I'm hybridizing the engine with LLMs or doing other weird stuff that are more or less practical :-) I wanted also to share some recent developments in this little project as I hope it might…
