[Tutorial] Building an AI-Powered BI Tool on Upsun 🤖

Querying ecommerce data often requires writing manual SQL queries or building complex dashboards. This can become a major engineering grind when non-technical teams need fast answers from a read-only MySQL endpoint.

You can fix this by building a chatbot that lets you query ecommerce data in plain English. This setup uses LLM-generated SQL and includes critical safety layers to keep everything secure.

Here is what you need to know about the project setup:

  • Implements a secure database layer and an SQL guard
  • Houses chat logic directly within the application
  • Uses fixture data for reliable local development
  • Deploys smoothly using the standard Upsun configuration

Check out the full technical write-up to see how these safety layers stack up and how to deploy it yourself:
