Introduction
QueryMate lets you ask natural language questions via Telegram and get accurate, read-only answers from your PostgreSQL database. It converts your questions into efficient SQL queries, runs them, then summarizes the results in an easy-to-read format right inside your Telegram chat.
It performs six key actions:
- Listens for messages sent to your Telegram bot.
- Retrieves the current database schema information.
- Combines your question with the schema details.
- Uses an AI model to translate your question into a read-only PostgreSQL SELECT query.
- Executes the generated SQL query on your database.
- Analyzes and formats the query results into a clear Telegram message and sends it back.
Prerequisites
| Requirement | Description |
|---|---|
| Telegram Bot | A bot configured with access to message updates and permissions to send messages. |
| PostgreSQL Database | A properly configured database granting read access. |
| Connectors | Enabled Pipedream connectors for Telegram Bot API and PostgreSQL. |
| AI Access | Access to an AI model for query generation and result summarization. |
How the flow works
| Step | Action | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Telegram Bot Trigger | The workflow starts by listening to new messages sent to your Telegram bot. |
| 2 | Get Database Schema | Runs a SQL query to fetch the list of tables and columns from your PostgreSQL database. |
| 3 | Merge Data | Combines your natural language question from Telegram with the database schema details to create a rich context. |
| 4 | AI Query Generator | Converts your question and schema info into an optimized, read-only SQL SELECT query using an AI model. |
| 5 | Execute SQL Query | Runs the generated query on your PostgreSQL database to retrieve the raw data. |
| 6 | AI Result Summarizer | Processes the raw query results to create a concise, human-friendly summary formatted with Telegram Markdown. |
| 7 | Send Telegram Reply | Delivers the summarized answer back to your Telegram chat, completing the interaction. |
Expected Output
When you send a question via Telegram, you receive a clear answer based on live data from your PostgreSQL database. The response highlights key numbers or points, clearly states if no results were found, and is nicely formatted for easy reading in Telegram.
Important Notes
- Only safe, read-only SELECT queries are generated to avoid any data modification.
- The AI relies heavily on the provided schema to create accurate queries, so keep your schema up to date.
- Complex questions beyond the schema scope will result in explanations instead of queries.
- You can customize the AI prompt or temperature to tweak how the SQL and summaries are generated.
