About GitHub

BambooAI is an open-source Python library that enables natural language-based data analysis using Large Language Models (LLMs). It allows users to interact with data through conversational queries, generating and executing Python code for analysis, visualization, and insight extraction. The tool supports both local datasets (e.g., CSV files) and external data sources/APIs, and includes a web UI and Jupyter notebook integration. It features an optional planning agent for complex tasks, self-healing error correction, custom ontology integration, vector database knowledge base, and in-context multimodal queries. Designed for data analysts and developers, BambooAI aims to streamline data discovery and analytical workflows.
