Database querying with GPT-3: Introducing Ask AI

Introducing our latest feature “Ask AI” in SQL database querying, which is powered by GPT-3 and aimed at simplifying your daily routine by generating SQL queries using natural language prompts.

We believe that the natural next step for a developer toolkit is to integrate new-age tech like GPT-3 to aid app developers. Writing complex SQL queries can be time-consuming, and it requires a high level of expertise. Developers play around multiple times to finally get the right SQL queries, which can lead to errors and inefficiencies. This problem is further compounded when developers have to work with multiple databases with different structures and syntaxes.

With “Ask AI,” you can generate SQL queries quickly and easily using natural language prompts, without requiring any expertise in SQL query writing.

A more powerful assistant for database querying

With “Ask AI,” you don’t need to be an expert in SQL query writing, as the GPT-3 powered feature can understand your natural language prompts and generate the required SQL queries automatically. This not only saves you time and effort but also reduces the chance of errors, allowing you to focus on other aspects of your development work.

Let’s take an example. Say you have a product inventory database with columns such as category, market price, sale price, and balance quantity. If you want to create a table with several filters, just input “Give me all from Product inventory where balance quantity is more than 55,” and the Ask AI feature will generate the query automatically for you.

This feature is currently available for SQL databases, and we plan to extend it to other areas like writing custom JavaScript code and basic content generation in the future.

Here’s how “Ask AI” can help you:

Saves Time and Effort:

With “Ask AI,” you can generate SQL queries quickly and easily using natural language prompts, saving you time and effort.

Easy to Use:
