🧚 Listen! Beekeeper Studio is a fast, modern, and open source database GUI Download
October 16, 2025 By Matthew Rathbone

The Beekeeper Studio AI Shell gained a few new powers today that make it possible to answer database questions in seconds.

The fastest analytics either side of the Mississippi (no sound).

In this video, we ask Claude Haiku 4.5 to find the best performing movies in our fictional video store database.

As you can see the speed and accuracy at which Haiku 4.5 is able to answer our question is unreal.

While the example in the video is obviously contrived, we’ve also been running Haiku 4.5 against real data with similar results. It really does make the turnaround time in answering questions an order of magnitude quicker.

Combined with the steady enhancements to Beekeeper Studio’s AI capabilities, we think it’s clear that Beekeeper Studio is the industry leader for automated AI analytics.

New in AI Shell 1.6

  1. Allow agents to run read-only SQL queries (SELECT queries) without asking for permission.
  2. Anthropic Claude Haiku 4.5 integration
  3. Sticky code ‘copy’ buttons for easy code copying
  4. A new Open in SQL Editor button to easily edit AI generated code.

Available right now in Beekeeper Studio

You can update to the latest version of the AI shell plugin right from the Beekeeper Studio application by going to Tools -> Plugins and clicking Update.
