Census AI Brief overview
Census AI is a natural‑language interface to U.S. census and demographic data. It converts plain‑English questions into SQL, runs them against a census database, and returns results with simple visualizations—so non‑technical users can explore population and market stats without writing queries. Built as part of the open‑source textSQL project.
How to use
- Go to censusgpt.com and open the demo.
- Type a question in plain English (e.g., “10 highest‑income areas in California”).
- Review the answer and visualization (map or bar chart).
- Refine your question to narrow or expand the results.
Key features & functions
- Natural language → SQL: Questions are translated to SQL using an LLM (project docs specify GPT‑3.5) and executed on a census database.
- Made for U.S. census/demographics: Ask about population, income, and other statistics; purpose is broad, non‑technical access to official data.
- Built‑in visualizations: Returns interactive maps for cities/ZIPs and bar charts for comparisons.
- Example prompts: The demo provides sample questions to get started.
- Self‑host & extend (BYOD): Open‑source textSQL lets you connect your own database and self‑host the interface.
Census AI Pricing
- Open‑source license: The underlying textSQL/CensusGPT code is MIT‑licensed, so self‑hosting is free aside from your infrastructure costs.
- Hosted demo: The official site links to a public demo; no public pricing page is listed—check the site for current access details.
