BGL democratizes business intelligence with Claude Agent SDK and Amazon Bedrock AgentCore

BGL's business users without technical knowledge had to rely on the data team for queries, creating a bottleneck, while traditional text-to-SQL solutions failed to provide consistent or accurate results across their complex financial compliance data.

Outcome

For BGL's more than 200 employees, the AI agent represents a significant shift in how they extract business intelligence — product managers can validate hypotheses instantly, compliance teams can spot risk trends without SQL, and the data team is freed to focus on strategic initiatives.

What failed first

Text-to-SQL agents that try to handle everything — schema understanding, joins, aggregations, and business logic — produce inconsistent results by joining tables incorrectly, missing edge cases, or generating wrong aggregations.
