We are excited to announce the release of Inductor’s latest open source LLM application starter template, for building Text-to-SQL LLM apps (GitHub repo here).This template is designed to make it easier than ever for developers to build and deploy AI apps that can convert natural language into SQL queries, execute them on a database, and return actionable insights. Whether you're looking to create a tool for data analysts, automate reporting, or build an internal knowledge assistant capable of answering complex data-related questions, this starter template provides everything you need to get up and running quickly.
Just like our other LLM app starter templates, the Text-to-SQL app template offers more than just a basic structure for building your app. It integrates a complete end-to-end developer workflow that supports the iterative nature of building production-ready LLM applications. It’s designed for rapid prototyping, robust testing, and ongoing optimization – key requirements for anyone building enterprise-grade solutions.
Key features
Playground for prototyping: Leverage Inductor's playground feature to experiment with different queries and app configurations interactively.
Built-in testing and evaluation: A full Inductor-powered test suite is included to systematically evaluate the performance of the app across various scenarios.
Automated experimentation and optimization: Iterate quickly with hyperparameters (e.g., to optimize prompts and choice of model) using Inductor’s powerful experimentation and optimization tools.
Comprehensive logging: Capture and analyze real-time interactions and SQL query executions with Inductor’s integrated logging and observability tools.
Seamless SQL generation: Convert user queries into SQL that interacts with your database to retrieve information.
Integrated SQL query validation: Ensure the validity of SQL queries before execution, improving app reliability.
Schema-aware interactions: Automatically generate SQL based on your database schema, so that queries are valid and relevant.
Easy customization: This template is built to be easy to apply to your database, and also framework-agnostic, making it easy to integrate into any LLM-powered system.
This Text-to-SQL LLM app starter template is your gateway to creating LLM-powered applications that turn natural language into database queries with ease. Whether you’re just starting or looking to scale your data-driven tools, this template is designed to accelerate your development process.
A systematic developer workflow for delivering production-grade Text-to-SQL LLM apps
This template is pre-configured to leverage Inductor’s developer platform. Inductor provides the tools you need to build and deliver next-gen LLM applications, offering a systematic approach to every phase of development and deployment such as:
- Prototyping playground: Share prototypes with your team in a secure environment that integrates with your tests and logs.
- Robust test suites: Test for accuracy, consistency, and edge cases with test cases and quality measures.
- Comprehensive logging: Monitor live executions to understand real-world user interactions, identify issues, and optimize application performance.
- Automated experimentation: Use hyperparameters to experiment with different configurations (e.g., different models or prompts), enabling rapid iteration and optimization.
By building with Inductor’s platform, you ensure that your LLM application isn’t just functional – it’s optimized for reliability, usefulness, and business impact. Let’s dive deeper and see how Inductor integrates into the development lifecycle for this specific Text-to-SQL application:
Auto-generate playgrounds: Experimentation is key when building LLM applications. With a single command (inductor playground app:get_analytics_results), you can create a fully interactive UI for real-time interactive testing that can be shared with domain specialists. This enables developers and stakeholders to experiment with the app’s behavior without writing additional code. Within an Inductor playground you can view past executions, add executions to test suites, see logged values, and experiment with different configurations using developer-controlled hyperparameters.
Systematic testing with Inductor: Inductor makes it easy to have quality control baked into the development process. The template includes a pre-configured test suite that enables developers to run systematic tests on their Text-to-SQL app. These tests ensure that the generated SQL is accurate, valid, and capable of addressing various query types.
Live monitoring and debugging: Understanding how your application performs under real-world conditions is essential. With Inductor’s logging and monitoring features, you can track every interaction in real-time, enabling you to catch and address issues as they arise.
Automated experimentation: Use hyperparameters to experiment with different configurations (e.g., different models or prompts), enabling rapid iteration and optimization.
Unlocking business potential with Text-to-SQL
The Text-to-SQL LLM app starter template is a powerful entry point for businesses looking to leverage AI to interact with data in more intuitive ways. With this template, you can shift from needing to write complex, technical SQL queries to a conversational experience that enables anyone in your organization to pull insights from databases.
But, that’s just the beginning. By customizing and extending this template, you can evolve your LLM-powered application from simply querying data to driving business actions. For example, you can enable non-technical users to generate SQL queries to analyze performance metrics and then follow up with automated actions like sending reports or triggering alerts – all powered by natural language.
Future expectations for enterprise LLM applications
As enterprises continue to build and adopt LLM-powered applications, the iterative process of evolving from simple data interactions to business actions and impact will redefine how businesses operate and serve their customers. Technologies like Text-to-SQL AI apps offer a powerful starting point, transforming data access into an intuitive experience. However, the future lies in building on this foundation – moving from querying data to influencing real-world actions with seamless, AI-driven interactions.
Looking forward, enterprises that embrace the iterative process of developing and delivering AI apps will be best positioned to harness the full potential of LLMs. Those that continuously refine their applications to meet changing user needs and leverage the power of AI across departments will drive meaningful improvements in KPIs, from revenue growth to customer satisfaction. The roadmap for LLM applications is clear: evolve, iterate, and deliver AI-driven outcomes that shape the future of business.
Inductor is essential for accelerating this evolution. As a comprehensive developer platform, Inductor empowers teams to rapidly prototype, test, iterate on, and monitor their LLM applications. With features like robust test suites, automated experimentation, and comprehensive logging, Inductor ensures that developers can seamlessly build, evaluate, improve, and observe their AI-powered applications without the complexity of building and managing the requisite tools and infrastructure. This iterative approach enables enterprises to continuously refine their applications in order to ship rapidly, make them more adaptable to shifting market demands, and improve business outcomes at every stage.
