Metabase

We heard from developers and data pros alike: data for learning, experimentation, and demos can be slow and tedious 🕰️ So, we built the open source AI Data Generator, a community tool that’s free, easy to use, and designed to evolve with your feedback. Spin up a dataset: https://buff.ly/oqduqdN

Putting together some thoughts for my ELVTR course tonight on what a scrappy, cheap, no code people analytics tech stack could look like if buying a platform isn't an option in 2025. ✅ Less than $250/month ✅ Integrates simply with virtually anything ✅ GDPR Compliance ✅ Embedded AI Conversations and Agentic Tasking ✅ Flow-of-work insights ✅ Live docs + data dictionary ✅ Scalable Zapier - Integration & automation to core systems Lovable - Front end, back end (Supabase), interactivity, deep customization OpenAI - AI Insights, embedded in Lovable, delivered to Slack Metabase - Visualizations & Insights Slack - Flow of work insights/interactivity via Metabase Notion - Living/breathing data dictionary connected to your insights. You could have most of this running in less than two weeks and build on a foundation that has 10x the capability most HR functions dream about. #peopleanalytics #hranalytics #elvtr #lovable #zapier #openai #slack #metabase #notion

The video is finally up! 🎥 For those who couldn’t make it to AI Engineer Paris, here’s the recording of my talk: 👉 Everything That Can Go Wrong Building Analytics Agents (And How We Survived It) This one dives into the messy, unpredictable side of building AI agents Metabase — what broke, what surprised us, and what we’d do differently next time. It was great to see how many people related to the challenges we discussed. If you’ve ever tried to make an agent actually do the thing reliably, I think you’ll get a few useful takeaways (and maybe a laugh or two). Big thanks again to the organizers from Koyeb — and to everyone who came up afterward to share your own war stories. That’s the best part of these events. 🙌 Video link below — would love to hear what you think! https://lnkd.in/d5qr7Ky3 Let’s keep building for the chaos. 💥

While flashy visualizations steal the spotlight, what really makes our interactive embedding shine is how it handles authentication behind the scenes 🛡️ This diagram shows exactly how SSO works its magic to create that secure, seamless experience your users will love. Here's how it flows: Your app gets asked to show some analytics. It checks if there's a valid session. No session? No problem - it just sends them to your SSO login. Once they're authenticated with all the right permissions, they see their personalized data. Simple as that. The best part? Users only see what they're supposed to see, super important if you're in healthcare, finance, or multi-tenant apps.

Dark mode awakened, just when things get spooky 🌑

Behind a great product, there is a team of passionate people. A couple of weeks ago, we brought the whole team together in Barcelona 🇪🇸 for our annual All-Hands Offsite. We are a remote-first company with over 100 people across 30 countries, 86 cities, and 15 time zones, so the main goals were simple: make the most of our time together with focused, high-energy collaboration, building things as a team, clearing roadblocks, and creating momentum that keeps going long after the week is over. This year in Barcelona, we: 🔷 Got teams that don’t usually work together in the same room to brainstorm and problem-solve. 🔷 Caught up with customers during a session to hear their firsthand feedback and understand their experience directly. 🔷 Learned from our teammates in casual catch-ups and workshops. 🔷 And of course, ate tapas, walked along the beach, and even went on a Scavenger Hunt through the Gothic Quarter!
