Reindeer is an AI-powered IDE for database developers that reads your database schema, generates production-ready SQL in seconds, provides inline autocomplete and refactoring suggestions, and enables you to stay entirely within your development environment rather than switching between tools. It supports key features such as schema-aware SQL generation tailored to your tables and relationships, autocomplete and fix suggestions for existing queries, and a safe workflow where suggestions are reviewed by you and not executed automatically, so you retain full control. It launches with support for PostgreSQL and promises support for additional database systems. It is designed to significantly boost productivity for those who write SQL by cutting context switching, reducing repetitive query work, and accelerating development of complex joins, filters, and transformations, all without requiring you to leave your IDE or manually switch between schema viewers and query editors.
