Workflow of the Week 🚀

Who Built It: David

What It Does: This AI-powered workflow lets you query your own Postgres, MySQL, or SQLite databases in plain English—no SQL required. Built using n8n and OpenAI, it converts your questions into queries, fetches the answers, and responds in chat.

Why It’s Incredible: This workflow turns plain English into real insights—no SQL required. Instead of writing complex queries, you can ask natural questions like “What were our top 5 sales regions last month?” and get structured, accurate answers. It supports major databases like Postgres, MySQL, and SQLite right out of the box, and it's powered by GPT (or any LLM you prefer—swapping APIs is simple).

It’s built using n8n’s embedded chat feature, but you can easily extend it to platforms your team already uses, like Slack, MS Teams, or WhatsApp. Whether you're building internal dashboards or streamlining customer support, the system is open-source, fully customizable, and designed for real-time answers.

  • âś… Great for internal tools: Empower your team to query data instantly

  • âś… Clone-ready: Fork it, extend it, and make it your own with minimal setup
