## Choose when

### Choose SQLBot if…

- SQLBot is primarily JavaScript; minds is Makefile.
- License: SQLBot is Other, minds is MIT.
- Requirements: Min 4 GB RAM; Requires Docker; 需配置并运行Docker容器以部署; 支持多种大模型服务商的API接入.
- MindsDB提供智能查询服务，支持自然语言到SQL的转换，类似于SQLBot的功能，但实现方式可能有所不同。
- Tags unique to SQLBot: text-to-sql, deepseek, llm, chatbi.

### Choose minds if…

- minds is primarily Makefile; SQLBot is JavaScript.
- License: minds is MIT, SQLBot is Other.
- MindsDB提供智能查询服务，支持自然语言到SQL的转换，类似于SQLBot的功能，但实现方式可能有所不同。
- Tags unique to minds: llms, agents, business-intelligence, ai.
- Also covers AI Agents.
- You require automation for multi-step knowledge work that involves reading and writing tasks such as report generation, monitoring activities, recurring workflows, and scheduled operations.

## When NOT to use SQLBot

- 如果企业的数据安全政策非常严格，并且对外部访问和API依赖较为敏感的话，则SQLBot可能不是最佳选择。
- 对于需要高度定制化数据分析工具的企业，SQLBot的开箱即用特性或许不能满足特定领域或复杂业务需求的专业调整。
- 如果你的需求中涉及到大量实时更新的数据处理或者对时延要求极高的场景，SQLBot基于LLM和RAG技术的特点可能无法完全适应这些要求严格的环境。

## When NOT to use minds

- You are working in an environment with extremely strict data privacy requirements that prohibit any kind of external access to data sources.
- Your tasks require real-time interaction and the AI agents' results aren't suitable for your workflow because they operate on a schedule rather than providing instantaneous responses.
- The need is for high-performance customization without pre-built integrations or if you prefer an entirely custom approach where out-of-the-box solutions and interchangeable open-source agents
- You are seeking to integrate exclusively with data sources not listed here, such as less common proprietary databases or platforms lacking direct support from MindsHub
