Care to explain the context and why you are keen on natural language inquiries? It seems to me like the example you gave is very simplistic and can be solved by a simple dropdown filter on Excel and or SELECT * WHERE clause in a database. Note, I'm not implying that you are wrong to use natural language, simply that there seems to be more to the question.

Sure. For example, I might not want a borrower to see any data other than their own, so using a chatbot to access their data and output it in any way they want, eg “chatbot, did I make any payments over 50 dollars to Amazon last year. If so, when and can you list them out”. Or “was my groceries bill higher last month than this? Why?”.

I also ask because it seems that once AI can process data in response to queries like this, the software landscape shift hugely.
