Key features	Inline AI query generation from plain-English instructions "Fix with AI" debugging for failing queries Notebooks mixing SQL, Python, text and charts in one document Connects to Postgres, MySQL, SQLite, CockroachDB, chDB and DuckDB Credentials stored locally in the OS keychain, never on DB Pilot's servers	AI-powered LINQ query generation Conversion between LINQ and other query syntaxes Aimed specifically at the .NET ecosystem Browser-based, no local install Account area for saved work
Pros	One-time $79 price instead of a recurring subscription Data and credentials stay on the user's own machine Free tier covers core SQL editing without needing an API key	Solves a real, repetitive .NET task that general assistants handle inconsistently Works in both directions - generating LINQ and reading it back Single-purpose, so there is nothing to learn
Cons	AI features need the user's own separate API key and its usage cost Windows and Linux builds are not available yet Only 20 free AI assistant messages before a purchase or own key is needed	The public pricing page 404s .NET only - no value outside that ecosystem Generated queries still need verifying against expected results
Company	Maravista Software LLC, founded 2021	LINQ Me Up
