Avanty
Avanty sits inside Metabase as a Chrome extension and writes SQL from plain English prompts. It reads your connected schema, drafts queries in the editor, and explains existing SQL step by step so analysts spend less time fighting syntax.
Generic SQL copilots work in a blank editor. Avanty is scoped to Metabase: it knows your tables, respects custom schema names like datawarehouse.users, and opens from a command panel with Cmd Shift period on macOS or Ctrl Shift period on Windows. An inline diff viewer shows proposed edits before you accept them.
Data analysts and analytics engineers who live in Metabase get the most from Avanty. Business questions that used to mean a Slack ping and a half-written query can start as a natural language prompt, land in Metabase as a draft question, and move through review faster. A preview Slack integration even surfaces matching Metabase questions from channel messages.
Generates SQL from natural language using your live Metabase schema
Inline diff viewer shows AI-suggested query edits before you accept them
Command panel opens with Cmd Shift period on macOS or Ctrl Shift period on Windows
History tab at dashboard.avanty.app stores past prompts and explanations
Supports custom schema names such as datawarehouse.users in generated queries
Preview Slack integration finds or drafts Metabase questions from channel messages
Lives inside Metabase instead of forcing analysts to copy SQL between tools.
Schema-aware generation handles custom schema prefixes that break generic copilots.
Inline diff viewer makes AI query edits reviewable before they hit production dashboards.
Keyboard shortcut command panel keeps generation one keystroke away from the SQL editor.
History dashboard preserves prompts, edits, and explanations for repeat analysis work.
Chrome extension only, so Firefox or Safari users cannot run Avanty in Metabase today.
Chart title generation and smart error debugging are still marked coming soon on the site.
Slack integration remains a limited preview rather than a self-serve toggle for every team.
What is Avanty?
Avanty is a Chrome extension that adds an AI copilot to Metabase. It generates SQL from natural language, edits queries in place, and explains existing SQL so data analysts work faster inside Metabase.
How do I open the Avanty command panel?
Press Cmd Shift period on macOS or Ctrl Shift period on Windows while Metabase is open. Avanty opens a command panel where you can generate SQL, edit the current query, or request a step-by-step explanation.
Does Avanty work with custom database schemas?
Yes. Avanty includes schema names in generated SQL, so a users table in a datawarehouse schema is referenced as datawarehouse.users instead of a bare table name that breaks on non-public schemas.
Where does Avanty store my past prompts?
Avanty keeps a History tab at dashboard.avanty.app listing generated queries, edit suggestions, and SQL explanations from your extension sessions so you can revisit earlier work.
Is Avanty free to try?
Avanty offers a free early-access start from avanty.app. The homepage invites analysts to get started for free while the product remains in early access.
Does Avanty integrate with Slack?
Avanty previewed a Slack integration that finds matching Metabase questions from channel messages or drafts a new AI-generated question when none exist. Rollout started with select companies before wider release.
