Talk to Your Database: Building Natural Language Data Analysts

February Full Stack User Group: Talk to Your Database: Building Natural Language Data Analysts with Jack Watts

Forget clicking through Power BI dashboards. What if your users could just ask questions like "What were our top 10 products last quarter in Australia?" and get instant charts and tables?

In this session, we'll dissect the emerging pattern behind AI-powered data analysts, the same architecture appearing in Microsoft Copilot's analyst feature, but one you can actually develop yourself, customize and control. We'll cover how to translate natural language to SQL (API, or vector queries), generate visualizations on the fly embed results in your chat interface, and build a system that learns from user feedback.

Includes a live demo, working notebook, and honest discussion of what breaks and how to test it.

6:00pm - 🍕 Pizza & Networking
