Convex's compatibility
Can someone provide more clarity about these issues:
- Is it possible to talk to the Convex database in natural language?
- Quite a few people have been showing the power of Postgres with natural language.
- Here is a demo- where AI automatically generates relevant queries and give output- https://vercel.com/templates/next.js/natural-language-postgres
- Seems doable on the surface, it’s just that the AI needs to be given the context of Queries and Mutations related to Convex. Is there a better way to do it?
- Related to this only, is Convex compatible with the emerging protocols which link to external data and systems like Model Context Protocol(MCP) by Anthropic?
- They have mentioned about Postgres support here- https://modelcontextprotocol.io/introduction
- Seems like such kind of interactions will become a lot more prevalent in the near future.
- Does Convex already support Realtime API support for Open AI over Websockets?
- Although the entire Convex database is reactive, but not sure about this one.

Pricing
Currently, I'm right on the edge of choosing Convex over Supabase. Have been reading the docs for a few days. However, the lack of clarity over pricing is holding me back. Especially related to the Function calls (25M) and Action compute(250 GB-hours) in the Pro plan. As far as I know, Supabase doesn't have such restrictions in their Pro plan (unlimited requests and shared CPU without any restriction on compute hours). Upon searching Discord, I couldn't find anything meaningful about it.
In fact, another user shared a similar concern a couple of days ago- "if you have 100 users in a chat room, and 100 messages are added, does it cost you 10,000 (GET) + 100 (POST) function calls usage?". Some users were discussing about it in August as well, when someone suggested a pricing structure like- https://aws.amazon.com/amplify/pricing/.
In fact, for my use case, Chatgpt gave me an sample estimate of 72M calls/month (for chat, subscription, updates etc) for a decently scaled project I'm planning. However, there is no certainity about it. It is just a rough estimate. Could be more, could be less. But if true, that estimate would probably add another $100($2/M) to the monthly bill. Had a nice experience with Convex so far and would like to build here, but don't want to be surprised with the 'serverless' bills later down the road. It would be a bit hard to change the setup then. So, it would be really helpful, if someone can provide more clarity about it.
