In the world of AI-powered applications, querying databases using AI models like GPT can be expensive. Every word, number, or symbol sent to the AI (known as tokens) contributes to costs. This is where database agents come to the rescue. They act as intelligent intermediaries between users and databases, significantly reducing costs by generating optimized SQL queries and minimizing the data sent to the AI. In this blog, we’ll explore how database agents work, how they save costs, and why they’re a game-changer for businesses. If you're a novice, don't worry—this guide is beginner-friendly. What Is a Database Agent? A database agent is an AI-powered tool designed to interact with databases intelligently. It bridges the gap between human users and databases by: Understanding natural language questions (e.g., "Show me the top 10 products sold this month"). Generating efficient SQL queries based on the database schema. Executing the SQL query to retrieve resul...
