Abstract

NL2SQL systems aim to address the growing need for natural language interaction with data. However, real-world information rarely maps to a single SQL query because (1) users express queries iteratively (2) questions often span multiple data sources beyond the closed-world assumption of a single database, and (3) queries frequently rely on commonsense or external knowledge. Consequently, satisfying realistic data needs require integrating heterogeneous sources, modalities, and contextual data. In this paper, we present Blue's Data Intelligence Layer (DIL) designed to support multi-source, multi-modal, and data-centric applications. Blue is a compound AI system that orchestrates agents and data for enterprise settings. DIL serves as the data intelligence layer for agentic data processing, to bridge the semantic gap between user intent and available information by unifying structured enterprise data, world knowledge accessible through LLMs, and personal context obtained through interaction. At the core of DIL is a data registry that stores metadata for diverse data sources and modalities to enable both native and natural language queries. DIL treats LLMs, the Web, and the User as source 'databases', each with their own query interface, elevating them to first-class data sources. DIL relies on data planners to transform user queries into executable query plans. These plans are declarative abstractions that unify relational operators with other operators spanning multiple modalities. DIL planners support decomposition of complex requests into subqueries, retrieval from diverse sources, and finally reasoning and integration to produce final results. We demonstrate DIL through two interactive scenarios in which user queries dynamically trigger multi-source retrieval, cross-modal reasoning, and result synthesis, illustrating how compound AI systems can move beyond single database NL2SQL.

A Semantic-Layer-Mediated Agent for Natural Language to SQL over Heterogeneous Enterprise Databases

Natural language-to-SQL (NL2SQL) over real-world enterprise databases remains significantly more challenging than on academic benchmarks. Enterprise schemas often contain hundreds of physical tables with cryptic column names, heterogeneous SQL dialects, and complex analytical workloads requiring nested aggregations, temporal reasoning, and multi-table joins. We present a semantic-layer-mediated NL2SQL agent that decouples semantic intent from physical SQL execution. Rather than generating SQL directly over raw schemas, the agent reasons over a curated semantic layer through a compact intermediate representation called the Semantic Model Query (SMQ). A deterministic compiler translates each SMQ into dialect-specific SQL, providing verified building blocks that the agent composes into the final query. The system employs a constrained think-act loop, supports SQLite, BigQuery, and Snowflake backends, and is integrated into an end-to-end evaluation framework. Using Gemini 3 Pro, the system achieves 94.15% execution accuracy on the 547-task Spider2-snow benchmark, ranking third on the official leaderboard and substantially outperforming schema-only approaches. We describe the system architecture, SMQ representation, agent workflow, evaluation results, and discuss semantic-layer quality and the trade-off between improved grounding and overfitting.

Data Intelligence Agents: Interpreting, Modeling, and Querying Enterprise Data via Autonomous Coding Agents

Production data integration is bottlenecked by repeated, lossy handoffs between data owners, engineers, and analysts who must collaboratively discover, structure, and query enterprise data. We present Data Intelligence Agents (DIA), a system of three agents (Data Interpreter, Schema Creator, and Query Generator) that compresses this workflow by treating autonomous coding agents (ACAs) as a first-class abstraction: rather than emitting text, the agents generate, execute, validate, and repair concrete artifacts, draw on a shared memory for experience reuse, and surface each for review by domain experts. DIA is deployed in production for enterprise customers. We study the Query Generator in depth and evaluate it in fully autonomous mode across seven SQL benchmarks spanning four task categories and four dialects. It matches or surpasses the best published results on all seven, demonstrating that an architecture grounded in execution, built on ACAs and a shared memory, generalizes across the data intelligence workload with adaptation confined to natural-language instructions.

Conversational Query Engine for Mixed-Modality Heterogeneous Enterprise Data Sources

Enterprise business intelligence queries span structured warehouses and unstructured document repositories -- modalities with fundamentally different access methods, cost profiles, and correctness semantics. Existing AI-enabled interfaces force users to select the right tool: NL2SQL systems cannot reason over slide decks, and RAG pipelines lack access to live warehouse tables. We present COGNI, a production conversational BI system that treats natural-language analytics as a heterogeneous query processing problem, organized as four architectural layers. First, an indexing layer implements slide-adaptive chunking -- recursive chunking for plain-text slides, hierarchical chunking for structured content such as tables, charts, and key-value blocks - achieving 88.3%88.3\% on our internal enterprise benchmark. Second, a routing layer built on a LoRA fine-tuned Qwen-2.5-1.5B-Instruct model that produces a dual output - modality decision and complexity assessment at 93.8%93.8\% accuracy and approximately 7×7\times lower cost than frontier-model. Third, a retrieval layer executes complexity-adaptive pipelines: a self-correcting NL2SQL agent at 93.9%93.9\% G-Eval, and Recursive Language Models reaching 91.0%91.0\% on multi-hop synthesis queries. Finally, a caching layer validates query equivalence across multiple dimensions beyond embedding similarity, achieving zero false cache hits and 8.4×8.4\times latency reduction.
