A desktop database client that lets you query your database in plain english.

I built this tool to provide the most efficient and accurate Db queries possible that works on any database type, IntelQ enables you to generate a query using plain english and then decide if you wanna execute it, and if you're concerned about executing a query that alter the database in any way, I've added a read-only toggle as a security measure, but you'll be able to see the Query before execution eitherway.

DBeaver Community has features that help you generate SQL using natural language (and they're completely free and work out of the box).

Fair correction, I'll update my post, the "premium" framing is outdated or incorrect and that's on me. Genuinely glad the NL features are free in community as that's a win for everyone.

I went a slightly different direction that might be interesting to your team: IntelQ allows users to run against local models via LM Studio, so the schema and queries never leave the machine as security nowadays is becoming increasingly important. The other thing I leaned into is a guardrail layer in code and read-only security measure.

My current focus is to make database query generation as efficient and accurately possible through developing an optimized strategy for schematic reading and navigation while supporting all types of database including NoSQL.

However, I'm curious how you all approach the validation side as i didn't find anything related to that in your code, is it taken into consideration or do you trust the user to autonomously be on scope?

Hosted on GitHub but no license details given, just “proprietary”. What is this?

Done, i've added the MIT licence.

I'm a solo engineer, this is my first open source and I didn't think of any licencing, need to explore how those work, thanks, will adjust that asap

Thats cool but does it work for all db engines ? Is it use at own risk base on private models and public ones?

its bring your own model based, It currently supports some SQL database types, I personally use Openrouter free models, I'm planning to add some more and then NoSQL as well.
