Simon Willison announces Datasette Agent, an AI assistant that integrates with Datasette to provide conversational querying of databases. The tool can generate SQL queries, create visualizations via plugins, and includes a live demo using Gemini 3.1 Flash-Lite. The extensible platform already has plugins for charts and OpenAI integration, marking a significant milestone in combining LLMs with database interaction.
Background
Datasette is an open-source tool for exploring and publishing data, while LLM is a Python library for working with large language models. The integration of these technologies aims to make database querying more accessible through natural language processing.
