text2sql runs on your own machine — the client starts it, so there is no endpoint to ping. 102 installs a week from pypi. Last commit 2 Aug 2026.
Ask any SQL database in natural language. Agent explores schema, writes SQL, self-corrects.
Nothing serious here today
Today is the operative word: we check text2sql every 15 minutes and re-read its code on every release. Watch it and you find out the day that stops being true.
