Conversational BI bot for Slack

Trainable NLP bot connecting Slack to Metabase, maps, charts, and internal services for conversational business intelligence.

Role: Builder

Problem

Business questions lived behind dashboards and tribal knowledge — teams needed answers in the chat tools they already used.

Role

Built an NLP-based assistant that routed natural-language questions to Metabase and internal services, returning charts and up-to-date operational data in Slack.

Constraints

  • Hackathon timebox
  • Heterogeneous internal data sources
  • Need for conversational UX without a custom client

Approach

  • Integrated Slack with Metabase and internal APIs for live BI answers.
  • Combined NLP intent handling with maps, charts, and service lookups.

Outcomes

  • Won hackathon recognition for a practical AI + data product that met operators in Slack.
  • Early signal of interest in production conversational interfaces over internal systems.
