Google Cloud announced enhancements to AlloyDB AI natural language capabilities, enabling developers and enterprises to improve text-to-SQL accuracy up to nearly 100 percent for AI-driven and agentic applications. These updates help organizations transform natural language questions into highly accurate SQL queries by iteratively refining contextual information and disambiguating private data terms.
The AlloyDB AI natural language API – currently in preview – allows developers to build secure, business-relevant applications that translate natural language questions into SQL queries with precision. The improvements emphasize accuracy and explainability, addressing common challenges when AI interprets user intent and generates SQL statements from natural language.
Google Cloud states that achieving near-perfect accuracy requires more than simply prompting an AI model. It involves providing meaningful descriptive context – such as table and column descriptions – that helps the NL2SQL technology understand how questions relate to the underlying database schema and data.

In addition to descriptive context, prescriptive context – including SQL templates and facets – enables more nuanced understanding of user queries for frequent and complex questions specific to a given business domain. Templates can associate example questions with parameterized SQL and explanations, while facets support flexible combinations of conditions, broadening accuracy and relevance across variable query structures.
Google Cloud also highlights the role of the value index in further boosting accuracy. This index disambiguates entities that are private to the database – such as product SKUs or employee names – that are not known to the underpinning foundation model, helping ensure SQL outputs correctly reflect real data semantics.
These advances extend AlloyDB AI’s ability to handle structured, unstructured, and multimodal data, enabling natural language search experiences that combine SQL, vector search and AI search features like the AI.IF function for semantic conditions.
Google Cloud positions this update as a step toward broader adoption of accurate, explainable AI SQL generation in enterprise workflows, particularly for applications where business relevance and precision are critical to decision-making and user experience.
