Overview

About

Maintained by Simon CouchFirst published 2026-08-071 releasesCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗

Implements large language model agents for answering questions about database tables. Agents combine 'DBI' database connections with table and column metadata from a data dictionary (https://data-dict.tidyverse.org/), using registered calculations when applicable and generating database queries otherwise. They can also be embedded in a 'Shiny' application.
