AI-Driven Intelligent Big Data Query Assistant for Supply Chain
This workflow provides automated SQL query services in the supply chain domain by integrating AI intelligent agents. Users can input natural language queries in a chat window, and the system converts them into BigQuery SQL statements for execution, quickly returning structured query results. Built-in intelligent query optimization rules enhance query efficiency, eliminating the technical barriers found in traditional data analysis, allowing non-technical personnel to easily access supply chain data, assist in decision-making, and improve the efficiency and accuracy of data-driven decisions.

Workflow Name
AI-Driven Intelligent Big Data Query Assistant for Supply Chain
Key Features and Highlights
This workflow integrates the OpenAI GPT-4o-mini model with a customized AI intelligent agent, focusing on automating SQL query execution within the supply chain domain. Users can input query requests through a simple chat interface; the system automatically translates these into BigQuery SQL statements, executes them, and returns structured, well-formatted query results (tables or key metrics). The workflow incorporates intelligent query optimization rules, supports big data preview and summarization, and prevents blindly running time-consuming queries, thereby enhancing query efficiency and user experience.
Core Problems Addressed
Traditional supply chain data analysis requires specialized SQL skills and complex operations, making it difficult for non-technical users to directly access needed data. This workflow eliminates technical barriers through natural language interaction, enabling non-technical personnel to conveniently access and instantly analyze large-scale supply chain databases, significantly improving the efficiency and accuracy of data-driven decision-making.
Application Scenarios
- Performance analysis of orders, transportation, and delivery in supply chain management
- Monitoring logistics delays and generating reports
- Real-time querying and previewing of supply chain operational data
- Rapid access to key supply chain metrics and data support for non-technical internal staff
- Scenarios requiring conversion of natural language queries into structured database queries
Main Process Steps
- User submits a query request via the chat window, triggering the workflow.
- The AI intelligent agent (AI Control Tower Agent) parses the natural language input and generates the corresponding SQL query, performing query cleaning and optimization.
- The custom BigQuery execution tool (bigquery_tool) is invoked to send the SQL statement to the Google BigQuery database for execution.
- Query results are returned to the AI agent, which formats the data (as tables or key metric summaries) and delivers it back to the user.
- The Chat Memory module maintains conversational context, supporting continuous queries and interaction optimization.
Involved Systems or Services
- OpenAI GPT-4o-mini model: for natural language understanding and SQL query generation.
- Google BigQuery: serving as the core supply chain data warehouse for SQL execution.
- n8n workflow platform: enabling node orchestration and automated execution.
- Custom BigQuery query tool node: supporting modular invocation and reuse.
- Chat trigger (Webhook): facilitating user request reception via the chat interface.
Target Users and Value Proposition
- Supply chain analysts and operations personnel who can efficiently obtain key data without SQL expertise.
- Enterprise decision-makers who need rapid summaries of supply chain operational status to support decisions.
- IT and data teams aiming to build intelligent query interfaces that lower user entry barriers.
- Enterprises and developers seeking to automate natural language interaction with databases.
By combining AI natural language understanding with big data query capabilities, this workflow offers an intelligent, efficient, and user-friendly data access solution tailored for the supply chain sector, greatly enhancing business insight and responsiveness.
