Tons of New AI (Modeling, Visualization, User Attributes), Dynamic Top N, Pull Request Required Dashboards, Azure, and More!!

November 21, 2025

  • Tons of AI this week

    • We're teaching Blobby to model. Now you can build topics on the fly in AI, add relationships, or just generally do whatever you need from a modeling standpoint. Amazing for getting started or just supplementing the current model.

    • Blobby now knows *you* - great for lots of analyses (show me my pipeline, my customers, my usage, etc). This also means you can use mustache dynamically in AI context to pass user-specific information.

    • We're teaching Blobby more skills. Soon Blobby will be able to edit the fullness of the visualization spec - add labels, change axes, chart types, colors - anything you can do in the UI. Bit more to do here, but no more UI for building unless you want it.

    • We're playing around with new techniques to improve the AI experience. Here we use Snowflake Cortex to build a fuzzy search index for easier topical lookups. This would open up more natural filtering behaviors for lots of use cases (like support tickets in the demo).

  • Now you can create completely dynamic groups even based on associated metrics (ie. top 10 by count + other).

  • For many use cases you want complete review on dashboard changes. Now you can enforce branch-based changes through git for specific dashboards.

  • Our first demo of running queries in Azure. More work to do but Omni is going multi-cloud.

  • More Azure progress, this time on the renderer.

  • Continuing all the progress on dashboard containers, we go through an end-to-end example of a complex dashboard layout.

  • Tuning up the experience vis-a-vis workbook models and topic scoped models to give you all the control you need.

  • Spending a bit of time buffing out a rough edge around removing ignore in branches.

  • A demo of some new internal tooling to help solutions engineers understand how we talk about different topics in the field.

Blobby Learns Mustache

And Who You Are

Blobby now knows *you* - great for lots of analyses (show me my pipeline, my customers, my usage, etc). This also means you can use mustache dynamically in AI context to pass user-specific information.

Pull Request Required Dashboard Changes

For many use cases you want complete review on dashboard changes. Now you can enforce branch-based changes through git for specific dashboards.

Omni in Azure

Our first demo of running queries in Azure. More work to do but Omni is going multi-cloud.

Renderer in Azure

More Azure progress, this time on the renderer.

More Dashboard Containers

Continuing all the progress on dashboard containers, we go through an end-to-end example of a complex dashboard layout.
