Datasette Agent adds panel feature for database-backed app editing
Simon Willison released version 0.5a0 of Datasette Agent, a tool that lets users chat with an AI agent alongside database-backed apps built with Datasette-apps. The new panel feature allows agents to create and modify apps directly from a chat interface, with the app displayed in a side panel for real-time interaction.
Key points
- Datasette Agent 0.5a0 adds a **panel** feature for side-by-side app editing and chat
- Users can build and modify database-backed apps via AI prompts in the same interface
- Demo shows an **LLM Price Explorer** comparing 185 models with costs from $0.042 to $300
The demo shows an agent building an LLM Price Explorer app, generating a dark-themed interface with cost comparisons for 185 models from 12 providers. Prices range from $0.042 per million tokens (Jev 1.13) to $300.00 (o1 Pro). Users can sign in via GitHub to try it live at agent.datasette.io. This release bridges chat-based AI with hands-on database app development.
