Bilbo

Bilbo is built for teams that already keep their business data in Metabase but find that only a handful of people really know how to navigate it. Instead of writing SQL or clicking through the query builder, you type a question the way you would ask a colleague — "how many sales did we have last week?" — and Bilbo works out the schema, assembles the query, and returns the answer or a chart.

The assistant is delivered as a browser extension that connects to your Metabase instance. It reads your data schema so it understands how your tables relate, and it supports follow-up requests like swapping a bar chart for a pie chart without starting over. Teams can also store shared context — definitions, metrics, naming conventions — so the assistant answers consistently for everyone rather than guessing per user.

Bilbo positions itself as a way to stop interrupting developers for routine numbers. The vendor offers a free starting path and an onboarding call for teams that want to roll it out more widely, with pricing discussed directly rather than published on the site.
