For writing SQL — yes, it's faster with AI generation. For team sharing, scheduled queries, and dashboards, Redash is still the stronger tool. Use together: AI2SQL writes, Redash runs on schedule and shares.
Redash SaaS was discontinued after the Databricks acquisition, but the open-source self-hosted version is still active. If you want hosted + modern UX, alternatives are Metabase, Mode, or writing queries in AI2SQL and visualizing elsewhere.
Not yet. If scheduling is critical, Redash or Metabase are better. AI2SQL is purely about writing and running queries interactively.
AI2SQL has deep AI-aware support for the top 14 databases (Postgres, MySQL, BigQuery, Snowflake, Redshift, etc). Redash has more connectors but most are generic — AI2SQL's are schema-aware for AI generation.
Closest combos: AI2SQL (for AI generation) + Metabase / Preset / Hex (for dashboards and sharing). No single tool today does both at top-tier quality.
