"You Pay the Most for a Wrong Answer"-The Case for Semantic Layers

57% of executives report getting confidently wrong answers from their AI tools—answers that looked plausible and made it into real decisions. In this clip from Day 2 of our Semantic & Context Layer Series, Sonny Rivera, Jane Smith, and guests from Roche, Fabuwood, Snowflake, and dbt Labs break down what that problem actually costs.

Connect Spotter to the Apps Where Your Team Gets Work Done

Your data warehouse can tell you that pipeline dropped. It can't tell you why, because the reason sits in a sales call, a support ticket, or a thread in your team chat. When your AI analyst can't reach those places, you end up doing the last mile yourself: copying numbers into Slack, pasting call notes into a doc, and switching tabs until the story makes sense. Spotter could already connect to any MCP server, but getting one in place meant hunting for a server URL and digging through setup docs.

Your AI Analyst Is Now in Slack: Here's How It Works

Most data questions come up in Slack. Most data answers require leaving it. In this demo, watch how Spotter, ThoughtSpot's AI analyst, works directly inside your Slack workspace, in direct messages, threads, and public channels. Ask a question in natural language, and Spotter pulls from your governed data models to return an answer with high-level insights and relevant artifacts (images, PDFs, and CSVs), right where the conversation is already happening.

Your AI Analyst Is Now in Microsoft Teams: Here's How It Works

Your governed data is only useful if people can access it where decisions actually happen. For most teams, that's not a BI tool… it's Microsoft Teams. In this demo, watch how Spotter, ThoughtSpot's AI analyst, works directly inside Teams: in direct messages, group chats, and collaborative channels. Ask a question in natural language, and Spotter pulls from your governed data models to return an answer, right in the thread. Every answer names the model it came from, so anyone can verify the number instead of taking it on faith.

Spotter Is Now Available in Slack and Microsoft Teams

Let’s say a regional sales director posts a soft renewal number in the channel. A teammate asks the question that decides the plan: trend, or seasonal blip? Nobody in the thread can answer, so the thread does what threads do. It moves on, and the plan gets anchored to the most confident opinion in the room. The maddening part: the data existed. It was modeled, governed, correct, sitting in the warehouse the whole time. It's not a data problem; the answer was there.

The Security Domino Effect: Why Trust Can't Be an Afterthought in AI

In interconnected software environments, a security vulnerability rarely exists in isolation. A weakness in one component can expose credentials, create unintended access paths, or give attackers a foothold in connected services. The consequences depend on what that component can access, the permissions it holds, and the safeguards around it. As organizations adopt cloud platforms, third-party integrations, and AI-powered development tools, the boundaries between systems matter more than ever.

AI at Scale: Why Trust, Not the Model, Decides Who Wins

Every AI conversation eventually turns into a model conversation: which one is fastest, which one hallucinates least, which one your competitors are already using. Three recent episodes of The Data and AI Chief, hosted by ThoughtSpot's Chief Data and AI Strategy Officer Cindi Howson, make a different case entirely about what it takes to scale AI in the enterprise.
