What is Metabase?

Metabase is an open-source business intelligence platform for self-service analytics that lets teams connect to popular databases (or a built-in Sample Database), explore data with an intuitive query builder or native SQL editor, visualize results with automatic chart selection, and share interactive dashboards. With embeddable analytics via SDK, robust data modeling and organization tools, alerts, annotations, CSV uploads, caching for speed, and the AI-powered Metabot assistant for natural language questions and SQL generation/debugging, Metabase makes data exploration and insight sharing fast and accessible for both technical and non-technical users.
