Tour of Metabase: building dashboards with (or without) AI
· 45 minutes
About this event
In this webinar, our Product Advocate team will walk you through Metabase end to end — from connecting your first database to building dashboards, documents, and sharing them with the rest of your organization, with AI-assisted exploration and the MCP server as part of your workflow.
You'll learn:
- Where to get Metabase and how open source and Cloud compare, plus your options for connecting databases and storing CSVs
- How to explore an unfamiliar table with X-rays and AI, so you have a starting point instead of a blank canvas
- How to build a question in the notebook editor — basic aggregations, switching visualization types, and using chill mode for quick grouping and filter changes — then create the same kind of question through the MCP server
- How to assemble a dashboard with headers, cards, text descriptions, filters, and embedded external content, and how to edit that dashboard through the MCP server
- How to build a document that puts your analysis in context
- How to share your work through public links, public embeds, and subscriptions — including passing filter values into a subscription so one dashboard serves many audiences
- How user management and SSO work, and how usage analytics let you monitor adoption, control, and AI usage across your instance
A session for analysts, analytics engineers, PMs and anyone who want a complete picture of what Metabase can do, from first connection to a dashboard people actually use.
