About Bilbo

Bilbo is an AI agent for Metabase that empowers teams to query, explore, and visualize data using natural language. It acts as an AI-powered assistant that helps users create queries, explore data, and gain insights by simply asking questions in plain English.

How to Use

Users can interact with Bilbo by asking questions about their data in plain English, such as "how many sales did we have last week?" or "show the number of subscribers over time in a bar chart." Bilbo then understands the data schema, builds complex queries, and visualizes the data, allowing users to explore and get insights without needing to write code or interrupt developers. It can be added to Chrome.
