How to use AI to automatically generate a Python script using dbt syntax
Use artificial intelligence to instantly generate a full Python script from a dbt model.
dbt release 1.3 brought Python support to dbt. 🎉
This is great news – SQL is powerful, but Python helps data practitioners unlock even more value from their data.
That said, most analysts find that Python is a much trickier language to learn.
Fortunately, you don’t have to be fluent in Python to use it in your dbt workflows. Keep reading to learn how to use Data Sidekick, a free AI-assisted data tool from AirOps, to generate Python scripts from your dbt models.
Use artificial intelligence to instantly generate Python scripts from dbt data models
Data Sidekick contains a variety of recipes that automate common data-related tasks, including writing dbt SQL, generating YAML entries for dbt models, and generating Python scripts (using the correct structure and syntax) for use inside dbt.
To generate a complete Python script that uses dbt syntax, Sidekick combines context from your data warehouse with the power of AI to generate a complete Python script that uses dbt syntax.
This is what the dbt Python Model Creator recipe looks like in action:
dbt Python Model Creator is just one of many recipes in Sidekick. You can also use it to:
- Write SQL queries using plain English 🪄
- Auto document table schemas ✍️
- Optimize SQL queries to improve speed and trim your warehouse bill 💸
… and more (we’re always working on new recipes).
Sidekick is completely free for individual use. You don’t even need a credit card to sign up – jump in and give your Python powers an instant boost.
