Builds a Query Helper that maps natural-language questions to the correct tables in a 58-table schema, using LLMs for semantic search and prompt engineering and validating outputs with Rouge-1 F1 and Jaccard (table intersection over union) against engineer-written dashboards as ground truth. Finds zero-shot OK, relevant few-shot examples markedly improve table/field formatting, OpenAI suffers timeouts so moves to AWS Bedrock with Claude, observes no big quality gaps across models, ships the feature to customers and it proves usable for discovery though not fully trusted for automated chart generation.
