Overview

Vanna AI is a framework for creating agents that translate questions into SQL and query systems of record. It can work with different model providers and databases, then return the query, result table and a visualization.

The open-source edition provides the core components, while Vanna Cloud and Premium add user management, quotas, permissions and administration. The product is designed for embedding into an application rather than only being used as a standalone dashboard.

Vanna suits developers and data teams building a controlled conversational interface over databases. Output quality depends on the supplied context, access rules and validation of generated queries.
