Chat with your database using AI (open source)

Hi HN,

I built an open-source project called Volo Data.

The goal is simple: make data exploration easier by letting you query databases using natural language.

Instead of writing SQL manually, you can ask questions like:

- “Show the top 10 products by revenue” - “Plot monthly user growth” - “Which region has the highest sales?”

The system will:

1. Generate SQL from the prompt 2. Execute the query 3. Return visualizations automatically

Key features:

- Natural language → SQL - Automatic chart generation - Multi-turn conversations - Works with MySQL and PostgreSQL - FastAPI backend + React frontend

This started as a personal experiment with LLM-driven analytics, but it’s becoming a useful tool.

I’d really appreciate any feedback or suggestions.
