I built an open-source AI that lets you talk to your database — ask questions in plain English and get graphical insights instantly

Generative UI is everywhere now - OpenAI, Google, Microsoft, Anthropic all rendering UI inside chat. But one thing always bugged me: how do I talk to my own data? The stuff sitting in my database that doesn't understand plain English? I found OpenUI and it clicked. Their OpenUI Lang lets you generate UI through small declarative code snippets instead of bloated JSON - 67% fewer tokens on average (as claimed by them). It became my UI layer. On top of that, I built a robust Text-to-SQL MCP server that talks to my database and feeds the right data back to the UI.
