CQL without the friction.
CQLAI is a single Go binary with no Python runtime to manage. It understands existing cqlsh configuration, supports core CQL and meta-commands, and adds a rich interface for browsing schemas, working with results, and reading traces.
AI is optional. When configured, it can turn plain language into CQL, review schemas, and analyse traces, with generated changes kept visible for review.
One binary
Fast startup, broad platform support, and no external runtime dependency.
Serious workflows
Schema browsing, completion, Parquet import and export, tracing, and batch mode.
AI on your terms
Optional providers, schema-aware generation, and deliberate confirmation before changes.
Install with Go
One command. Then connect.
go install github.com/axonops/cqlai/cmd/cqlai@latest
