 "title": "Ask questions about a database in plain language",
 "page_title": "How to ask questions about a database in plain language with Nexus Pilot",
 "summary": "Connect a database and get answers from its data without writing SQL by hand.",
 "who": "An analyst or developer who needs a quick answer from a live PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQLite, or ClickHouse database and does not want to write every query manually.",
 "problem": "Writing and checking queries by hand for each new data question is slow, especially when the schema is unfamiliar.",
 "outcome": "You get query results and explanations for plain-language questions, while the agent works through the connection you set up in the workbench.",
 "steps": [
  "Download the installer for your platform from the official release page at https://nexuspilot.dev/releases.",
  "Open Nexus Pilot and add a connection to one of the supported databases: PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQLite, Redis, ClickHouse, or Oracle.",
  "Open the local AI Runtime, add a provider and model, and enter the provider credentials in the app's provider settings.",
  "Open the agent in Ask or Query mode and type a data question in natural language.",
  "Read the query the agent ran and the returned rows before you rely on the answer."
 ],
 "agent_prompt": "Using the NexusPilot repo at https://github.com/GuqierMcl/NexusPilot, set up a connection to <database name> and ask the agent in Ask mode: <your question>. Expected output: a written answer with the query used and the result rows. Verify that the query only reads data and that the answer matches a manual check of at least one row.",

 "difficulty": "Intermediate",
 "time": "45 minutes",
 "basis": "readme",
 "caveat": "The README states that exact capabilities depend on the engine, server version, connection permissions, and runtime capability model, so some questions may not be supported for every source.",

 "lang": "typescript",
 "requirements": [
  "A machine that can run the NexusPilot desktop installer, or Bun 1.3 or later and a Rust toolchain for development",
  "Connection details for at least one supported database that you are allowed to access",
  "An API key or account with a supported LLM provider, if you want to use the AI features",
  "Familiarity with the database you connect to, so you can review agent queries before acting on them"
