Notes

This package is meant to be a learning resource for prompt engineering and how to achieve AI-generated query generation with PHP/Laravel. You should probably not use this in production

The original package created by Beyond Code has been archived, also, it uses hardcoded text-davinci-003 model, and has been deprecated. However, this version supports custom specific models. You can change it into config/ask-database.php file, or into your .env

Ask DB allows you to use OpenAI's GPT to build natural language database queries.

DB::ask('How many users do we have on the "pro" plan?');

// We have 23 users with "pro" plan.

Installation

Install the package via composer:

composer require sebacarrasco93/laravel-ask-database

Publish the config files with:

php artisan vendor:publish --tag="ask-database-config"
php artisan vendor:publish --provider="OpenAI\Laravel\ServiceProvider"

What about accidental deletions, updates or inserts? By default it's protecting by enabling strict mode. You can disable it. Do this at your own risk

// config/ask-database.php

'strict_mode' => env('ASK_DATABASE_STRICT_MODE', true),

Usage

First, you to configure your OpenAI API key in your .env file:

OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-...

By default it's using gpt-3.5-turbo-instruct. Optionally you can customize it

ASK_DATABASE_MODEL=gpt-3.5-turbo-instruct

Then, you can use the DB::ask() method to ask the database:

$response = DB::ask('How many users are there?');

// We have 100 users

Testing
