Avanty
Avanty: AI SQL Copilot for Metabase Analysts
Avanty is an AI-powered Chrome extension that turns natural language into SQL inside Metabase, helping analysts write, debug, and format queries faster.
Overview
Avanty transforms the way data teams interact with Metabase by embedding an AI copilot directly into the SQL editor. Instead of manually crafting complex queries, analysts can describe what they need in plain English and let Avanty generate or revise the SQL instantly. It also steps in when things go wrong, spotting errors and offering fixes so you spend less time debugging and more time analyzing.
Beyond query generation, Avanty streamlines everyday workflow tasks that often get skipped under deadline pressure: auto-formatting messy SQL, adding AI-generated comments for team clarity, and suggesting chart titles when saving dashboards. Because it lives as a lightweight Chrome extension, there's no need to change your existing Metabase setup—self-hosted or cloud instances both work seamlessly.
Designed specifically for data analysts, BI professionals, and Metabase power users, Avanty positions itself as a productivity multiplier rather than a replacement for analytical judgment. It never executes queries or touches your underlying data, only reading SQL and schema metadata via the Metabase API, making it a low-risk addition to any analytics stack.
