I will be extremely surprised if Microsoft build this for open source databases, however someone else will definitely build it if you don't, that is completely true :-)

Disclaimer: I work at Microsoft on Postgres related open source tools (Citus & PgBouncer mostly) Microsoft is heavily investing in Postgres and its ecosystem, so I wouldn't be extremely surprised if we would do this. We're definitely building things to combine AI with Postgres[1]. Although afaik no-one is working actively on query generation using AI. But I actually did a very basic POC of "natural language queries" in Postgres myself last year: Conference talk about it: https://youtu.be/g8lzx0BABf0?si=LM0c6zTt8_P1urYC https://youtu.be/g8lzx0BABf0?si=LM0c6zTt8_P1urYC Repo (unmaintained): https://github.com/JelteF/pg_human https://github.com/JelteF/pg_human 1: https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/azure-database-for-postgresql/introducing-the-azure-ai-extension-to-azure-database-for/ba-p/3980291 https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/azure-database-for-po...

  Postgres is dear to me. Met its founders when I was in college at Berkeley, worked heavily with it at a previous company around 2015, used it for all my own projects. I'm glad to see it getting more attention lately (seemingly).

Microsoft owns Citus, a very major Postgres plugin.

  I didn’t know this, it seems they love open source even thought they have competing commercial products. Maybe there is just more money is selling cloud than there is in selling commercial databases?
