Challenges we ran into

Building Babelfish presented several significant hurdles:

1. Query Translation Accuracy

   • Challenge: Translating natural language to precise database queries without errors.
   • Solution: Developed a robust validation system and implemented a feedback loop for continuous improvement.

2. Multi-source Integration

   • Challenge: Seamlessly connecting to various data sources (SQL, NoSQL, APIs, spreadsheets) with different structures.
   • Solution: Created a modular architecture with standardized interfaces for each data source type.

3. Performance Optimization

   • Challenge: Maintaining low latency and providing accurate data fast.
   • Solution: Implemented low latency llm inference (groq) for faster responses
