Speed Became Free. Your Analytics Budget Didn't.
The fastest way to answer a business question used to be expensive: an analyst on staff, a clean warehouse, a dashboard for every recurring ask. Then AI tools made the fast answer free for everyone. The analytics line item, oddly, did not shrink. Speed became free. Defensibility became the line item.

Your AI agent is fixing the wrong service
Everyone wants an AI agent factory in 2026. Autonomous agents fixing bugs and shipping features while you sleep. I’ve been building toward that myself. But the error rates don’t support the fantasy. The best AI coding agents in the world fix about 50% of real bugs on SWE-bench verified. Half the time they fail. And AI-generated code produces 1.7x more issues than human-written code.
The Real Reason Your AI Project Is Stuck in Pilot Mode
Ever wonder why so many enterprise AI projects never make it past the pilot stage? It’s not the AI—it’s the foundation. In this video, we break down why rushing into complex models without fixing inconsistent data, fragile pipelines, and afterthought governance is a recipe for failure. Fix the basics first!
Brand an Embedded Analytics App in Minutes with AI Theme Builder
It's the day before your POC, and the embedded analytics demo still looks like it belongs to someone else. Your designer handed over a brand guide last week. Your developer has been buried in CSS variables ever since: cross-referencing token names, mapping changes across components, reloading the page after every tweak to see what broke. The UI is almost right. The nav color is close. The typography still isn't matching, but there's no time left.
