Datasette Agent is an extensible AI assistant for Datasette that enables conversational data querying and chart generation via plugins, bridging LLMs with SQLite databases. It is interesting because it combines LLM tooling with Datasette's plugin ecosystem, allowing users to ask natural language questions and generate charts using Observable Plot, with support for both cloud and local models.
