What it does
Chat2DB is a database client: an app for connecting to databases, looking at their data and running queries. It works with more than 40 kinds of databases, including MySQL, PostgreSQL, Oracle and MongoDB.
It includes an AI assistant that you connect to your own AI model. Describe what you want in plain language and it can write, explain or improve SQL, the language used to ask databases for information.
It also offers data import and export, dashboards and charts, and runs on Windows, macOS and Linux, entirely on your own machine.
Who it's for
Data analysts, database administrators and developers who work with databases and want AI help writing queries.
