Active·★ 258·Apache-2.0·Updated 2025-12-26

DAT (Data Ask Tool) is an enterprise-grade AI framework that enables business users to interact with databases using natural language, eliminating the need for complex SQL queries. It ensures high-quality and deterministic results through a pre-modeled semantic layer and an Askdata Agent workflow.

dat sits in the RAG / Knowledge Base category, so it is usually better judged by workflow fit, deployment style, and team needs than by isolated features alone. Based on the available metadata, it leans most clearly toward Pluggable SPI architecture for flexible extension of databases, LLMs, and embedding models.. A representative use case is Integrate with the Dify platform for web-based intelligent Q&A applications without developing a custom frontend.. The listed license is Apache-2.0. GitHub stars are currently 258. Relevant tags include NL2SQL, Enterprise AI.

This write-up is based on the project's README and public repository data. We have not hand-tested the tool.
