Built because every text-to-SQL tool I tried took eight seconds a query, which is long enough to break the thought you were having.
8s → instant
Why it exists
1
Static binary, no runtime
The problem
Text-to-SQL is a solved capability and an unsolved experience. The tools work; they just cost you a context switch on every question, which means you stop asking the small questions.
What I built
A text-to-SQL CLI in Rust that ships as a single binary. No runtime to install, no environment to set up, nothing between typing the question and reading the answer.
It is the same instinct behind everything else here: I had the problem, the existing answer was slow, so I built the fast one for myself first.
