There are so many OpenAI-powered tools that are doing this or similar things in the market right now. I just spoke with one this morning that is one of three others I've recently spoken with that take your data model and database schema/metadata information and use OpenAI's API to take natural language and write absolutely terrible SQL before running the code in your environment and returning the results.

Please, any VCs out there who see companies doing this, please stop giving them your money so they stop asking me for mine. It's not that the technology couldn't be impactful, but these shitty companies are not doing anything novel, the results are astoundingly amateurish, and the value just isn't there.

Generative AI is fucking cool and there are some incredible tools out there doing amazing things when integrated into preexisting software solutions. But anything having to do with databases, SQL, analytics, etc are just not there yet. Save your money.
