DataTalk CLI, Query CSV and Excel in Plain English Using LLM and DuckDB

Hacker News

Hi everyone. I built this tool because I often needed quick insights from CSV or Excel files without writing SQL. It uses an LLM to generate SQL and DuckDB to execute locally. All computation stays on the user's machine since only the schema is sent to the model. Happy to answer any questions or receive feedback.
