django-ai-command

Query your Django database in natural language — from the terminal or directly inside the Django Admin.

Powered by LangChain, compatible with Gemini, Groq, DeepSeek, OpenAI, and Anthropic.

---

How it works

django-ai-command introspects your Django models automatically, sends the schema + your question to an LLM, generates safe read-only ORM code, executes it, and returns the result.

No manual tool configuration. No hardcoded models. Just install, configure your API key, and ask.

---

Features

• Natural language queries from the terminal
• Floating chat widget embedded in the Django Admin (available on every admin page)
• Full-page chat view at /your-admin-prefix/ai-assistant/
• Multi-provider support via LangChain (Groq, Gemini, DeepSeek, OpenAI, Anthropic)
• Safe mode: blocks all write operations by default
• Automatic model introspection — no setup required per model
• Designed to become a standalone PyPI package

Installation

For now, copy the django_ai_command/ folder into your project root.

Install dependencies:

pip install langchain langchain-core langchain-openai langchain-google-genai

Add to INSTALLED_APPS — must be before django.contrib.admin:

INSTALLED_APPS = ['django_ai_command'] + CORE_APPS + EXTERNAL_APPS + LOCAL_APPS

---

Configuration

Add DJANGO_AI_COMMAND to your settings.py:

DJANGO_AI_COMMAND = {
    "provider": "groq",             # LLM provider (see options below)
    "api_key": env("GROQ_API_KEY"), # API key for the selected provider
    "safe_mode": True,              # Block write operations (recommended)
    "admin_prefix": "admin",        # Your admin URL prefix (see note below)
}

admin_prefix

If you changed the default Django admin URL for security reasons (recommended), set admin_prefix to match. For example, if your admin is at /15_admin_27/, set:

"admin_prefix": "15_admin_27",

This ensures the chat widget inside the Admin points to the correct endpoint. If you use the default /admin/ URL, you can omit this field.

    "admin_prefix": "admin",
}

    "safe_mode": True,
    "admin_prefix": "admin",
}

---

DJANGO_AI_COMMAND = {
    "provider": "deepseek",
    "api_key": env("DEEPSEEK_API_KEY"),
    "base_url": "https://api.deepseek.com",
    "safe_mode": True,
    "admin_prefix": "admin",
}

---

OpenAI

DJANGO_AI_COMMAND = {
    "provider": "openai",
    "api_key": env("OPENAI_API_KEY"),
    "safe_mode": True,
    "admin_prefix": "admin",
}

---

Anthropic (Claude)

DJANGO_AI_COMMAND = {
    "provider": "anthropic",
    "api_key": env("ANTHROPIC_API_KEY"),
    "safe_mode": True,
    "admin_prefix": "admin",
}

---

Usage

Terminal

python manage.py ai "How many users registered this week?"
python manage.py ai "List the 5 products with the most stock"
python manage.py ai "Which orders have been pending for more than 3 days?"
python manage.py ai "¿Cuántos usuarios hay registrados?"

Django Admin — floating button

A floating 🤖 button appears on every page of the Django Admin. Click it to open the chat modal and ask questions without leaving your current page.

Django Admin — full page

Navigate to:

/your-admin-prefix/ai-assistant/

Example: https://yourdomain.com/admin/ai-assistant/

---

Safe mode

When safe_mode is True (default), the following ORM operations are blocked:

delete, update, save, create, bulk_create, bulk_update, raw, extra, execute

The LLM is also instructed via prompt to only generate read operations. Safe mode provides two layers of protection: prompt-level and AST-level validation before execution.
