# Training your Data Product

Our AI Agent serves as your personal data scientist, proficient in interpreting natural language queries and converting them into SQL to analyze your connected data sources. The effectiveness of the Agent's responses relies heavily on high-quality examples of user prompts paired with their corresponding SQL queries.

## Creating Training Data

The Text to SQL Training feature consists of two primary approaches:
