1. Your Intelligent AI Database Assistant
The AI assistant is the heart of DB Pilot. You can interact with it through a dedicated chat or get inline suggestions as you type.
-
Natural Language to SQL: Describe what you need in plain English (e.g., "find our top 5 customers by revenue last quarter"), and DB Pilot will generate the correct SQL query.
-
Explain and Debug: Highlight any confusing or erroneous SQL or Python code and use the "Explain" or "Fix with AI" features to get instant clarity and corrections.
-
Context-Aware: The assistant understands your connected database's schema—the tables and column names—to provide accurate suggestions without ever accessing your actual sensitive data.
2. SQL and Python Notebooks for Advanced Workflows
For deeper analysis, DB Pilot’s notebook environment is a game-changer. It allows you to seamlessly mix SQL queries, Python code (using Pandas or Polars), text notes, and interactive charts in a single document.
-
Iterative Exploration: Run a SQL query, feed the results into a Python block for advanced transformation, and then visualize the output with a chart—all in sequence.
-
Build Dashboards: Create interactive reports with input fields, date filters, and live charts that stakeholders can use.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Is my database data safe and private with DB Pilot?
Yes. DB Pilot is a desktop application, and your privacy is a top priority. All your data, connection credentials, and queries are stored locally on your computer. The application connects directly to your database server; no sensitive data is sent to DB Pilot's servers. The AI assistant only receives your database's schema (table/column names) to provide context, not the actual data within the tables.
Can I use DB Pilot on Windows or Linux?
Currently, DB Pilot is available for macOS (both Apple Silicon and Intel). Native support for Windows and Linux is under active development and coming soon.
What's the difference between the subscription and the one-time purchase?
The key difference is how AI costs are handled. The subscription includes a monthly fee that covers your usage of the integrated AI models. The one-time purchase grants you a license, but you must bring your own API keys from providers like OpenAI; you will pay those providers directly for AI usage.
What databases does it support?
DB Pilot supports a growing list including PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQLite, DuckDB, CockroachDB, and chDB (a local ClickHouse engine). The team is continuously adding more.
