Cool to see Metabase is enabling contributions to the ecosystem this way! :)

No problem, thanks for taking a look!
It uses GPT-4o to generate a detailed schema and business rules based on a few dropdowns (like business type, schema structure, and row count). Then Faker fills in the rows using those rules, which keeps it fast and cheap.
You can preview the data, export as CSV or SQL, or spin up Metabase with one click to explore the data. It’s open-source, still in early stages, but wanted to share, get feedback and see how you'd improve it.
