Am I alone in reading "Agents, however, understand complex queries and are able to fetch and compile the needed data quickly." and thinking "bullshit". The fact is that LLM data discover/assistant apps that I have built with the current frontier models do a pretty good job of transforming language to sql... but do cock things up fairly often. If you present the query to the user and do a fair amount of cross checking you can create a decent app... But the language of "all your problems are over" is just misleading.
