Generate query fails most of the time

What problem are you trying to solve?

Focus on the what and why of the need you have, not the how you'd like it solved.

In ChatGPT world, no one writes query even in mongodb, current generate query is so lame, we have to use gemini or chatGPt. we you cannot provide basic query generate then allow using chatGPt/Gemini into mongo shell. This will make developer life easy. I query alot on mongo for my dev work and generate query is so lame, it doesn't even understand schema of mongo.

What would you like to see happen?

Describe the desired outcome or enhancement.

If generate query works like any LLM inference we can easily guide it. Current workaround is using Gemini/ChatGpt always.

Why is this important to you or your team?

Explain how the request adds value or solves a business need.

Developer needs to validate/debug/feature release everyday. If easy query is possible then it's more easy to adapt and faster to work.

What steps, if any, are you taking today to manage this problem?

We are using our own product where we write query and it uses internal LLM inference and query mongo. Or we use Gemini/chatgpt and then query in mongo shell

    Hi @Guest , thanks for sharing this feedback. We try to hold ourselves to a high standard with all of our products, and I'm sorry that this experience let you down. We released a fix earlier today that should have improved your natural language querying experience in Compass; I hope this makes it easier for you to use.
