Cloud-native

AI/BI GenieCommercial
Databricks

Conversational analytics on the Databricks Intelligence Platform. Genie spaces are scoped to curated datasets, learn from feedback and example queries, and expose usage monitoring for data teams.

Amazon Q generative SQLCommercial
AWS

Generative SQL in the Amazon Redshift query editor and natural-language analytics in Amazon QuickSight (Q), producing queries and visuals from plain-English questions.

Copilot in Microsoft FabricCommercial
Microsoft

Copilot experiences across Fabric workloads — natural language to SQL in the SQL analytics endpoint and warehouse, DAX generation in Power BI, and notebook assistance in Data Engineering.

Cortex AnalystCommercial
Snowflake

Managed text-to-SQL service inside Snowflake Cortex. Business users ask questions in natural language; a semantic model (YAML) grounds generation against governed definitions before SQL touches the warehouse.

Gemini in BigQueryCommercial
Google Cloud

Gemini-powered assistance across BigQuery: natural-language query generation in BigQuery Studio, data canvas for visual NL-driven exploration, SQL completion and explanation.

Open source

Chat2DBApache-2.0
Chat2DB community

AI-augmented database client and reporting tool: multi-database GUI with natural-language query generation, SQL optimization, and report building. Open-source community edition plus a Pro client.

Dataherald engineApache-2.0
Dataherald

Open-sourced natural-language-to-SQL engine built for enterprise question answering over structured data, with context stores, golden SQL fine-tuning loops, and an API-first design.

DB-GPTMIT
eosphoros-ai community

Open-source AI-native data-app framework from the eosphoros community: local model support, text-to-SQL fine-tuning hub (DB-GPT-Hub), agents, and AWEL workflow language for data pipelines.

SQLCoder / DefogApache-2.0 (models: varies)
Defog.ai

Family of open-weight text-to-SQL models (SQLCoder) plus a commercial platform. SQLCoder models were repeatedly competitive with much larger general models on SQL generation benchmarks.

VannaMIT
Vanna.AI

Popular open-source Python framework for text-to-SQL using retrieval-augmented generation: train on DDL, documentation, and example query pairs; works across many LLMs, vector stores, and databases.

Wren AIAGPL-3.0
Canner

Open-source GenBI agent: connects to your database, builds a semantic modeling layer (MDL), and answers questions with SQL, charts, and summaries through a web UI.

Research & internal

QueryGPTInternal
Uber (internal)

Uber's internal natural-language-to-SQL system, described publicly in engineering posts: multi-agent pipeline with workspace routing, intent classification, and iterative self-correction over Presto-scale schemas.
