Given my personal experience with various BI systems I think an AI agent like this is the perfect use case. These systems are operating on multiple layers of being wrong as is - layer 1 being your query is likely wrong, layer 2 being how you interpret the data is likely wrong.

Mix them together and you’re already deep in make believe land, so letting AI take over step 1 seems like a perfect fit.

I was hoping to read this article and be surprised by how OpenAI was able to solve the reliability problem, but alas.

Don't forget -

layer 0 - how you stored the data was wrong.

layer -1 - your understanding of modeling the behavior was wrong before you ever created a table.

layer -2 - your fundamental business process was wrong and all your information is lies.

This is why instead of a central source of truth I call it the central source of lies.
