Data Apps BETA

Generate data apps on the foundation you already trust

Prompt your AI agent for any data app or internal tool. It builds on your semantic layer, permissions, and auth, and lives in Metabase where you can audit usage and dependencies. Full customization, nothing to rebuild.

    Or tell the story behind the numbers

    Data apps can be reports too: long reads where every figure is a live, published metric.

    Solar system, as a long read

    Public data

    NASA orbital data told in five chapters you scroll through. Every figure links back to a published metric.

    Prompt

    Turn the NASA orbital data in our Library into a five-chapter long read about the planets. Every number should be a live figure from a published metric, with a to-scale figure beside the claim it backs up.

    Board deck

    Finance

    The quarter as a slideshow, one live metric per slide, with speaker notes for whoever presents it.

    Prompt

    Make a 12-slide Q3 board deck from our revenue metrics: one headline number per slide, lead with net revenue retention, chart expansion against new logos by quarter, and add speaker notes to each slide.

    Your year in listening

    Personal data

    A year of plays as story cards you tap through, from the hours after midnight to the songs on repeat.

    Prompt

    Make a year-in-listening story from my plays: six full-screen cards I tap through, starting with total hours, then when I listen most on a 24-hour clock, then my top songs on repeat.

    F1 season review

    Public data

    Twenty-four rounds of race telemetry, told round by round, with the circuit and tyre stints behind each result.

    Prompt

    Build a season review from our F1 race telemetry: one section per round I can jump to from a round strip, each with the circuit map, the tyre stints that decided it, and the points gap after it.

    The guardrails that keep your agent on point

    The constraints that matter are what an app builds with, who can do what and where it lives. Metabase takes care of all three, so you don’t have to build them yourself.

    What it builds with

    Your published numbers in, your actions out

    Same numbers as everywhere else

    Apps read only published tables and Library metrics, through the query builder. Metabase rejects SQL questions, so the app and the dashboard can’t disagree.

    Writes go through your actions

    Apps write only through the actions in their own collection, which only admins can edit, so you can see exactly what an app is allowed to change. Each run shows up in Data app analytics.

    Who can do what

    Everyone sees only their slice

    Your sign-in and permissions

    People sign in with Metabase and see what their groups allow. The same app shows each person their own slice.

    Where it lives

    Inside your Metabase, and in your repo

    Sandboxed inside your Metabase

    Apps live at /apps/<name> behind your Metabase sign-in, listed under Data apps in the sidebar. They can only call the Metabase routes they need, and usage shows up in Monitor.

    Code in your git repo

    Each app is code in your git repo, so you can review the diff. It also shows up in the dependency graph, so you see which apps use a metric before you change it.

    Your data deserves better than vibes

    Vibe-coded apps rebuild the data connection, sign-in and permissions, and write their own SQL. Data apps start from what you already have in Metabase.

    Data connection Rebuilt for every app Already there
    Sign-in Yours to build Metabase sign-in

    UNDER THE HOOD

    Your agent builds on your semantic layer with the Metabase CLI. It saves the app’s questions and actions to the app’s own collection, and the app runs with the permissions of whoever opens it.

    Frequently asked questions

    About trials, publishing, and what your agent can and can’t touch.

    Can I try Data Apps on the free trial?

    Yes. Data Apps is available on Pro and Enterprise, and a free trial includes it.

    Which AI clients does it work with?

    Any coding agent that can run commands and install skills, like Claude Code or Codex.

    What if I don’t use a coding agent?

    Apps are built with an agent. There’s no visual builder.

    Why can only admins publish apps?

    An app gives people access to its data, so only admins create and manage apps. People in the groups you add can open them.

    Can apps run native SQL?

    No. Apps read published tables and Library metrics through the query builder, and Metabase rejects SQL questions. Writes go through actions, which can use SQL.

    Is it safe if an agent wrote the app?

    Writes only go through the actions in the app’s own collection, so you can review exactly what an app can change. The app runs with each viewer’s permissions, and requests to other sites are blocked unless you allow them.

    Can I share an app publicly?

    Not yet.

    Why not build it in an internal-tool builder, or straight on the warehouse?

    You’d rebuild the data connection, sign-in and permissions, and your numbers would drift from your semantic layer.

    Who maintains an app when the person who built it leaves?

    It’s code in your Remote Sync repo, so any admin can pick it up, review the diff and ship a change. The dependency graph shows exactly what it’s built on.

    How do I see who uses an app, and what it touches?

    Data app analytics in Monitor logs every question and action an app runs, who ran it and what failed. The dependency graph shows the tables, metrics and actions it depends on.
