A while ago, I asked this community about preferred editors for working with PostgreSQL, and the overwhelming feedback was incredibly helpful. Thank you all for your insights! It led to a project that I’m excited to share with you.

It all started with a problem many of you might be familiar with: constant data requests from PMs and non-technical teams. My team came to me saying, "The PMs are driving us crazy with these endless requests. Can you build something to automate this?" Despite having built over 10+ no-code interfaces for them, we were still bombarded with SQL queries for one-off reports and follow-up requests.

I knew there had to be a better way. I came across a few inspiring blog posts from engineering teams at companies like Uber, Pinterest, and Swiggy. They built internal text-to-SQL interfaces to let their non-tech teams query data directly using natural language. That gave me the idea to build a similar tool for our team, powered by PostgreSQL under the hood, with strict access controls (configured right at the db user level).

After rolling it out, the results were amazing. Requests from non-tech teams nearly disappeared, and the tool was a huge hit with them! It opened up so many possibilities across product, marketing, and revenue operations teams. They could now ask their own questions and get instant data insights without waiting for devs to write queries.

The response has been fantastic since I made the tool public a month ago. Quite a lot of folks started signing up within a day, and the use cases I’m seeing are super diverse—from product insights to marketing campaigns and more. The best part? It’s all powered by PostgreSQL and PG Vector, and the flexibility it offers has been key to scaling this tool.

Would love to get some feedback and suggestions on what tools your team currently use to help non-technical team with data requests, reports and insights.
