Description
I built a SQL analyst agent based on a simple idea: generating SQL is not the same as doing analysis.Most text-to-SQL tools stop at producing a query. But real analysis is iterative. You explore the schema, run queries, adjust, and refine.This project tries to model that loop instead of treating a query as the final output.I wrote about the approach, challenges, and tradeoffs here: https://raminmousavi.dev/blog/building-a-sql-analyst-agentGithub repo: https://github.com/raminious/sql-analyst-ai-agent

Could you build this?
Yes The project is a straightforward agentic loop wrapping OpenAI and SQLite via the Vercel AI SDK, using basic tool calling to inspect schemas and run queries.

Same idea, different domain
Nobody's really built a agent / copilot tool for Agriculture yet.
