I Built an AI Data Agent Which Can Query Data and Answer Business Questions. Here’s How.

An AI data agent enables business users to query data warehouses using natural language, eliminating the need for SQL. This guide details the process of building such an agent, the "Avocado Sales Analytics Agent," using Google Cloud's BigQuery Conversational Analytics API. The process involves defining the agent's role, providing clear instructions for metric calculations, and setting rules for data handling to ensure accuracy. It also highlights the importance of creating verified queries with example questions and correct SQL to train the agent effectively, and concludes by outlining how to build a simple Flask application as a chat interface.
