datasette 1.0a31

Simon Willison · May 29, 2026 · Product Launches

Datasette 1.0a31 adds write query execution and stored queries for permissioned users.

“Datasette now offers users with the necessary permissions the ability to both execute write queries against their database and to save stored queries (renamed from "canned queries") both privately and for use by other members of their Datasette instance.”

Datasette 1.0a31 introduces write query execution and stored queries (formerly canned queries) behind permission controls. This is a notable open-source data tool release but has limited direct AI industry signal. Simon Willison is an influential voice in the AI developer community, though this specific release is infrastructure tooling rather than an AI advancement.
