qabot

Query local or remote files with natural language queries powered by OpenAI's gpt and duckdb šŸ¦†.

Can query local and remote files (CSV, parquet)

Installation

Install with pipx, pip etc:

pipx install qabot

Security Risks

This program gives an LLM access to your local and network accessible files and allows it to execute arbitrary SQL queries, see Security.md for more information.

Command Line Usage

$ EXPORT OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-...
$ EXPORT QABOT_MODEL_NAME=gpt-4o
$ qabot -w -q "How many Hospitals are there located in Beijing"
Query: How many Hospitals are there located in Beijing
There are 39 hospitals located in Beijing.
Total tokens 1749 approximate cost in USD: 0.05562

Python Usage

from qabot import ask_wikidata, ask_file, ask_database

print(ask_wikidata("How many hospitals are there in New Zealand?"))
print(ask_file("How many men were aboard the titanic?", 'data/titanic.csv'))
print(ask_database("How many product images are there?", 'postgresql://user:password@localhost:5432/dbname'))

Output:

There are 54 hospitals in New Zealand.
There were 577 male passengers on the Titanic.
There are 6,225 product images.

Features

Works on local CSV and Excel files:

remote CSV files:

$ qabot -f https://duckdb.org/data/holdings.csv -q "Tell me how many Apple holdings I currently have"
 šŸ¦† Creating local DuckDB database...
 šŸ¦† Loading data...
create view 'holdings' as select * from 'https://duckdb.org/data/holdings.csv';
 šŸš€ Sending query to LLM
 šŸ§‘ Tell me how many Apple holdings I currently have


 šŸ¤– You currently have 32.23 shares of Apple.


This information was obtained by summing up all the Apple ('APPL') shares in the holdings table.

SELECT SUM(shares) as total_shares FROM holdings WHERE ticker = 'APPL'

Even on (public) data stored in S3:

You can even load data from disk/URL via the natural language query:

Load the file 'data/titanic.csv' into a table called 'raw_passengers'. Create a view of the raw passengers table for just the male passengers. What was the average fare for surviving male passengers?

 šŸš€ Question:
 šŸ§‘ Load the file 'data/titanic.csv' into a table called 'raw_passengers'. Create a view of the raw passengers table for just the male passengers. What was the    
average fare for surviving male passengers?
 šŸ¤– The average fare for surviving male passengers was approximately $40.82.


The average fare for surviving male passengers was calculated by creating a view called `male_passengers` to filter only the male passengers from the `titanic`    
table, and then running a query to calculate the average fare for male passengers who survived. The calculated average fare is approximately $40.82.

CREATE VIEW male_passengers AS SELECT * FROM titanic WHERE Sex = 'male';
SELECT AVG(Fare) as average_fare FROM male_passengers WHERE Survived = 1;

Quickstart

You need to set the OPENAI_API_KEY environment variable to your OpenAI API key, which you can get from here.

Install the qabot command line tool using pip/pipx:

$ pip install -U qabot

Then run the qabot command with either local files (-f my-file.csv) or -w to query wikidata.

See all options with qabot --help

Examples

Local CSV file/s

$ qabot -q "how many passengers survived by gender?" -f data/titanic.csv
šŸ¦† Loading data from files...
Loading data/titanic.csv into table titanic...

Query: how many passengers survived by gender?
Result:
There were 233 female passengers and 109 male passengers who survived.


 šŸš€ any further questions? [y/n] (y): y

 šŸš€ Query: what was the largest family who did not survive? 
Query: what was the largest family who did not survive?
Result:
The largest family who did not survive was the Sage family, with 8 members.

 šŸš€ any further questions? [y/n] (y): n

Query WikiData

Use the -w flag to query wikidata. For best results use a gpt-4 or similar model.

$ EXPORT QABOT_MODEL_NAME=gpt-4
$ qabot -w -q "How many Hospitals are there located in Beijing"

Intermediate steps and database queries

Use the -v flag to see the intermediate steps and database queries. Sometimes it takes a long route to get to the answer, but it's interesting to see how it gets there.

qabot -f data/titanic.csv -q "how many passengers survived by gender?" -v

Data accessed via http/s3

Use the -f <url> flag to load data from a url, e.g. a csv file on s3:

$ qabot -f s3://covid19-lake/enigma-jhu-timeseries/csv/jhu_csse_covid_19_timeseries_merged.csv -q "how many confirmed cases of covid are there?" -v
šŸ¦† Loading data from files...
create table jhu_csse_covid_19_timeseries_merged as select * from 's3://covid19-lake/enigma-jhu-timeseries/csv/jhu_csse_covid_19_timeseries_merged.csv';

Result:
264308334 confirmed cases

Docker Usage

You can build and run the Docker image for qabot using the following instructions:

Building the Docker Image

To build the Docker image, run the following command in the root directory of the repository:

docker build -t qabot .

Running the Docker Image

To run the Docker image, use the following command:

docker run --rm -e OPENAI_API_KEY=your_openai_api_key ghcr.io/hardbyte/qabot -w -q "How many Hospitals are there located in Beijing"

Replace your_openai_api_key with your actual OpenAI API key.
