Changelog


We've added better support for custom schemas. AI-generated queries that reference tables from schemas with names other than public now actually include the correct schema name in the query. For example, a users table in the datawarehouse schema was previously simply referenced by "users", which made the generated query not work out of the box in some scenarios. From now on, that table would be referenced by "data_warehouse"."users".

Users have been asking us for a way to see their past prompts on Avanty. Today, we launched this feature as part of a new 'History' tab, where you can see your generated queries, your edit suggestions and explanations of SQL queries that you made through the Avanty extension. To have a look yourself, head to dashboard.avanty.app/history.

You can now open a support chat session, navigate to our documentation, or send us feedback about Avanty straight from the browser extension itself! Plus, version 1.0.10 adds new functionality for logged-out users and shows a warning when trying to use Avanty on a database that has been disabled in the dashboard.

Today, we launched an initial version of our documentation site! You can check it out at docs.avanty.app. Currently, it comes with a guide on writing great prompts for Avanty, as well as some technical guidance for privacy settings & more.

Improved query editing

Improved command panel

Introducing a new command panel, which makes it easier & faster to use the Avanty browser extension. With one click (or one keyboard shortcut), open the command panel to generate SQL queries, edit your current query, get step-by-step explanations of your code, and more.

The command panel can be opened with Cmd Shift . on macOS, and Ctrl Shift . on Windows. Then, tab through the options using the arrow keys and select one with Enter.

Preview: Slack Integration

Introducing Avanty's Slack integration in preview today! Easily find matching Metabase questions for your Slack messages with just a click. No more manual searching for relevant questions in Metabase.

For instance, when Alice asks about the number of orders from France last month, simply click "Find or generate question" on the Avanty Slack integration. Avanty will search your Metabase instance for relevant questions. If none match, it will generate an AI-generated draft in Metabase that's ready for review by data scientists.

We will be launching this feature with select companies at first, and roll it out to a wider audience later. Please get in touch if you're interested in trying this out!
