Lots More AI (Homepage AI, Multi-Vis), Sankey Launch, Multi-Fact Topics, Paginated Subtotals and Huge Bucket of QOL Work
January 16, 2026
Batch of AI
We're making it easier to get to Blobby, plus some admin controls for folks who aren't quite ready.
We tuned up the summary experience to even share grouplets of visualizations alongside summary text.
More work on our Model Inspector tool for understanding the data model inside the AI experience. Plus a bonus internal demo of continuing to build out our Claude Code workflows.
We improved the UX to make tool calls (filter value checks, model calls, etc) more explicit in the UI, so users can understand everything Blobby is doing at query time.
Now the MCP server can intelligently route queries between different models rather than locking to a single model.
Bit of work to see more detail on how fields are used in the AI experience from the chat UI.
Sankey charts are launching, now with color controls as well. Plus stick around to the end for a preview of the next set of vis work.
Building on our request access workflows - now viewers can request edit access for dashboard they want to tune as well.
A new multi-base-view topic in Omni. TJ gives a quick explainer of multi-fact entities and how you can now model them in Omni.
Now you can quickly point filter-only fields at the view itself for dynamically filtering a view with minimal modeling.
The Oracle database connector is now in preview for folks.
Now you can page through infinite results inside the subtotal UX.
We added some explicit position debugging UX with XY coordinates for precision tuning your dashboards.
Progress continues on new dashboards - now with more controls for layout and padding.
Tons of QOL, directly from customer requests
Inside workbooks you can now quickly see topics in use across your other tabs for faster navigation.
Another customer-requested-this-week improvement so that when using view-as, there is additional email metadata for differentiating between different accounts or embed users.
Bit of quality of life work to pick from the list of user attributes rather than typing in the string exactly.
More quality of life work to quickly recover accidental unfavorites.
Quality of life work in the IDE as well - here better state management navigating the IDE, like folding, edit/redo state, etc. Just making life more pleasant for developers.
And some internal QOL and developer productivity work
Our developers get some quality of life work as well - here a tool for renewing AWS tokens.
Quick demo of some improvements to our internal tooling for Claude Code to workflow CI debugging.
Luke shows off a quick workflow we built to stay up on engineering work weekly using dashboard summary to quickly understand recently shipped code.
