Tech Talk: Stop Writing Text-to-SQL: Give the LLM the Job It's Actually Good At
Speaker: Ashish Shubham, Engineering Fellow at ThoughtSpot
Abstract: Most agentic analytics projects start by asking an LLM to write SQL. It demos well and fails in production. The problem isn't broken syntax; it's queries that run, return a number, and are quietly wrong. Fan traps. Unvalidated join paths. Same question, different answer.
We'll present the right way to build instead: a semantic/context layer where metrics, join paths, and permissions are defined once and enforced deterministically, exposed to the agent as a narrow tool surface rather than a SQL field. We'll close with a real working solution built on this architecture and its trade-offs.
