In the following is our collection of the top open-source app that enables you to directly chat with your database.
1- Vanna
Vanna is a free and open-source RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) framework for SQL generation and related functionality.
Here’s a step-by-step summary of how Vanna functions and the interfaces available for use:
- Train the RAG Model: Vanna’s RAG "model" is trained on a dataset by storing metadata that allows it to understand and access the data's structure and relevant information. This initial training step doesn’t require the user to understand the underlying RAG technology, making it easy to set up. The model captures the context and structure of the data, enabling it to generate relevant queries.
- Ask Questions to Generate SQL Queries: Once trained, users can ask questions in natural language, and Vanna will automatically generate SQL queries to run on the connected database. This process enables seamless data retrieval without the need for users to manually write complex queries.
User Interfaces: Vanna offers several pre-built interfaces that can be used directly or customized according to needs:
- Jupyter Notebook: Ideal for interactive data analysis and prototyping directly within Jupyter.
- Vanna Streamlit (
vanna-ai/vanna-streamlit): Provides a web app interface for data visualization and analysis using Streamlit. - Vanna Flask (
vanna-ai/vanna-flask): Allows users to set up a Flask-based web interface. - Vanna Slack (
vanna-ai/vanna-slack): Integrates with Slack, enabling team members to ask data-related questions directly within Slack channels.
These interfaces make Vanna flexible for different workflows and help users easily query databases without needing deep technical knowledge.
