Jul 11, 2022 | Programming

Welcome to your guide on using the innovative app designed to harness the power of Large Language Models (LLMs) to query SQL databases effortlessly using natural language. With this tool, you can interact with your database just as you would in a conversation.

Getting Started

Follow these steps to set up and run the application on your local machine:

1. Installation

To install the app, you will need to execute a couple of commands in your terminal. Make sure you have Node.js installed on your machine.

bash
npm install

2. Configuration

Before running the app, you need to configure your OpenAI API key. This key allows the app to communicate with OpenAI’s models.

  • Open the .env.local file located in your project directory.
  • Add your OpenAI API key in the format:
  • OPENAI_API_KEY=your_api_key_here
    

3. Running the App

Now, let’s start the application! You can run the following command:

bash
npm run dev

This command launches the app, allowing you to start querying your SQL database with natural language!
