AI and BroadSQL

BroadSQL currently includes no AI functionality. This page states that position plainly, separates it from AI assisted tooling used during development, and describes the principle BroadSQL will follow if an AI capability is ever introduced.

No AI feature today

BroadSQL does not embed, bundle, invoke, connect to, or depend on any AI or large language model (LLM) service as part of its normal operation.

In particular, BroadSQL does not send any of the following to an AI provider: database data, query results, SQL statements, database metadata, connection information, credentials, or any other user information.

If you install and run BroadSQL today, there is no hidden AI functionality examining or transmitting information from your databases. Every operation BroadSQL performs talks directly to the database you configured, through that database's own JDBC driver; nothing else sits in that path. See Security for the related question of how BroadSQL protects credentials and what it does and does not transmit.

AI assisted development

Like much of the software industry, AI assisted development tools may be used by the developer to help write, review, test, or document BroadSQL. That is part of the software development process, not a capability shipped inside the product. It does not mean BroadSQL users' databases or data are exposed to an AI service by the product itself; the two are unrelated.

This describes BroadSQL today, not a permanent commitment

This page describes BroadSQL's current behavior. It is not a claim that BroadSQL will never contain AI functionality: AI related features may be considered in the future.

If an AI capability is ever introduced, it will not happen silently. For any such feature, users will be able to find out:

  • that it exists;
  • whether it is enabled;
  • what information it can access;
  • whether any information leaves their machine or infrastructure, and if so what;
  • where that information is sent;
  • and what control they have over it.

No such feature exists in BroadSQL today, and this page will be updated if and when one does.
