Overview

Connects your AI assistant to Metabase so you can ask a question in plain English and get it turned into a query, or manage dashboards and saved questions without opening Metabase yourself. Useful for a business running its reporting through Metabase that wants a faster way to get an answer than building a new chart every time. Early-stage project, so test it before relying on it for regular reporting.
