Dingent: An Easily Deployable Database Retrieval and Integration Agent framework
AI-driven data search and integration represent an emerging research direction. Although several LLM-based backend frameworks and agentic frameworks have emerged, significant gap remains in developing a one-stop, configurable agent framework that supports various data sources and provides a web interface for efficient data retrieval using natural language. To address this, we present Dingent, a novel and configurable agent framework that facilitates data access from various resources and enables the flexible constructions of agent applications. We demonstrate its capabilities across three distinct application scenarios, achieving promising results. The Dingent framework can be readily applied to other fields, such as earth sciences and ecology, to facilitate data discovery.
