From Queries to Conversations: How Text-to-SQL AI Tools Are Redefining Data Access
AI is changing how people interact with data - turning SQL queries into natural conversations.
At LegalShield, we built a Text-to-SQL chatbot that let users ask, “What was our churn rate last quarter?” and instantly get results from our data warehouse.
In demos, it was flawless. In production, accuracy dropped, and we learned why: AI can automate answers, but it can’t automate understanding.
In this session, we’ll explore:
- How Text-to-SQL tools really work (and where they fail)
- Why adoption depends more on trust than technology
- The role of data teams as partners, not just report providers
How to measure true business impact.
You’ll walk away with a practical framework for bringing generative AI into your analytics stack — responsibly, measurably, and with a stake in outcomes.
Key Idea: As AI commoditizes analysis, data teams must move from delivering reports to co-owning business results.
From Data to Impact: How Data Teams can evolve in the AI era
With AI tools making Data analysis and visualization widely accessible, insights have become a commodity. Data teams no longer have the luxury to function just as a service provider and measure success based on delivery: reports completed, models deployed, SLAs met. But we need to evolve and operate as partners, success is measured by impact: churn reduced, conversions lifted, revenue protected, operations optimized.
In this talk, I'd like to introduce the Data Impact Framework: a practical roadmap for transforming data teams from service providers into strategic partners.
Success is redefined not by outputs delivered, but by impact achieved. Attendees will learn how to embed data and AI into real business workflows, co-own outcomes with stakeholders, and elevate the data function into a true driver of growth in the AI era.
