It translates plain-language questions into SQL, aimed at people who know the business question but not query syntax.
Why now: It surfaced in Google Cloud's monthly AI roundup post rather than a dedicated launch announcement.
Google Cloud added Comments to SQL, a BigQuery feature that turns plain-language questions into queries, per its monthly AI roundup.
The feature aims to close the gap between whoever knows the business question and whoever knows SQL syntax. It lowers the barrier between analysts and the data itself, letting non-technical staff query BigQuery without waiting on someone else to write the SQL for them.
The roundup post doesn't say how the tool handles ambiguous phrasing, only that it converts natural-language comments into SQL directly inside BigQuery.
