MindsDB
MindsDB is an open-source AI automation platform that brings machine learning capabilities directly into databases through AI tables. It allows developers and data teams to build, train, and deploy predictive models using standard SQL queries without needing to move data or write separate ML code.
Key Features
AI Tables: Create and query machine learning models as if they were database tables.
In-Database ML: Natively integrates with databases like MySQL, PostgreSQL, Snowflake, ClickHouse, and MongoDB.
AutoML: Automates model selection, training, and tuning.
Multimodal Support: Works with structured, time series, and even text data (via LLM integrations).
Developer-Friendly: SQL-first approach with support for REST, Python, and JDBC/ODBC APIs.
Example Use Cases
Predicting customer churn or lifetime value from transactional databases
Forecasting sales and demand in real-time from within BI dashboards
Embedding ML predictions in operational apps without moving data
Deploying generative AI inside existing SQL workflows (e.g., using OpenAI or Hugging Face models)
