Datasette Agent
DatasetteAgent plugin for Datasette, the tool for exploring and publishing structured data in SQLite. A chat interface answers natural-language questions against a database: the agent writes and runs SQL, explores the data in the background and renders results. It calls models through the datasette-llm plugin and exposes an extensible tool surface for charts and image generation.
Early-stage: announced 21 May 2026 and running against a pre-1.0 Datasette. Verified 2026-08-13 via the datasette/datasette-agent repository and the agent.datasette.io demo.

Capability
2 medium confidenceNarrow, early structured-data agent on an alpha release; capable within its domain but limited in scope and maturity, so scored 2. No peer comparison is recorded because the scale bottoms out before the anchor is reachable.
