I Turned an Archived 23K-Star Text-to-SQL Project Into a Self-Hosted Tool That Actually Works Out of the Box Vanna.ai is a text-to-SQL framework that lets you ask questions in plain English and get SQL queries, results, and charts back. It gained over 23,000 stars on GitHub, which tells you the community really wanted something like this. Then in March 2026, the open-source repository was archived. A paid hosted version is available as Vanna Cloud, but if you prefer to self-host and own the setup, the archived codebase needs some work. So I decided to fork it and fix what was missing.
