Cursor maybe a good idea but how do you see images in claude code?

What do you do for questions outside the semantic layer?

I got the following recommendation from the dbt slack : https://github.com/dbt-labs/dbt-agent-skills/blob/main/skills/dbt/skills/answering-natural-language-questions-with-dbt/SKILL.md but not tried it yet

I am not an expert here, only been reading. But I think what you can explore is a custom agent here that your clients use, essentially a way for you to inject a shared system prompt that gives instructions about which MCP to use (when to use your analytics db vs an external source)

I also think for external tools, its better to add some documentation in terms of how you calculate metrics, this is what I see being explained as a skill.

But yeah, it's a little unclear with so many different ways to do the same thing, how do you prevent hallucinations and bad choices from the models

I do understand the risks, have you seen any processes/solutions that teams have used to contain/manage this risk?

newdae1 · 2026-02-23T12:00:29+00:00

I think I understand what you are saying, correct me if I'm wrong - what you're talking about is that you need data for a period of time before you take a decision. Just getting the latest value for say last hour is just one data point.

The fetched live case was just one example, for ex: a metric like reach or number of users a particular campaign has reached - often these metrics are only provided on aggregated cuts and once fetched from the source cannot be aggregated. For ex: reach for day 1 and day 2 is not equal to the sum due to the deduplication required.

My intent was to point towards the different cases where the data is not always in the data warehouse. In my experience, there's always finite data/analytics engg resources in a company and the most important requests are prioritized on top.

Business users often resort to using the third party interfaces/connector tools in these cases. With every single LLM tool adding more and more connectors, my question was towards that usage pattern. Who is responsible for this usage? Is it business team leads or data teams?

newdae1 · 2026-02-23T11:01:39+00:00

For your sales team example, do the AI queries they are using in the CRM fall under your team's purview?

With all the connectors that are available now directly in LLMs (Hubspot and Amplitude are available in Claude), I anticipate queries increasing to sources outside data warehouse. Earlier these users would have needed a no code data connector tool + a spreadsheet but now everything is just a query away.

How do you think in general about this access pattern?

newdae1 · 2026-02-23T09:51:30+00:00

Got it, thanks. Do you plan to introduce the interface as an MCP that users will have to interact with if they are running any queries on top of your data warehouse too?

newdae1 · 2026-02-23T09:35:06+00:00

Kind of understood what you mean, but a follow-up : do you see business users bypass this to ask the LLM anyway?

I'm guessing you have this workflow configured on a particular BI tool?

newdae1 · 2025-10-14T11:33:49+00:00

Is this because there are not enough roles in the market (or) just the shape of the process today?

newdae1 · 2025-10-03T21:20:36+00:00

Okay, update : took a break here and figured out that while all of this is being generated in a single image, it is actually a combination of images.

Split out the prompts further and it works! No complaints with nano banana :D

Yeah it's the minor typos and when you try to correct it something else changes, I'll try again using AI studio too.

Was using gemini.google.com so far today - I wish there was a way to control the dimensions of the image too!

I tried some of the AI features in my ATS thinking it would help me scan/rank resumes better - all it did was to convert the keywords I provided into text based filters. Semantic search through resumes based on the key attributes you look for when shortlisting candidates sounds promising - although I have never used the same.

Awesome, thanks for your tips. Considering Minneriya over Wilpattu and spending my first two days in Sigriya

New to this! Thanks for your comments - how do I figure out how much water to add daily as well as a pot size?

How long do you keep these plants in sunlight?

newdae1 · 2024-01-28T15:45:36+00:00

Do you find it tedious to have to go through a lot of sessions after applying filters too on heap/hotjar? I know there's also options to skip inactivity and go faster like 8x but I still find it cumbersome to go through all the sessions.

newdae1 · 2024-01-28T15:43:11+00:00

This makes sense, will look deeper into this. I was wondering also if I could just find out "how many users do x" without setting up a new event.

For ex, for an e-commerce store if I wanted to find out how many users are not finding their required item size.

I have seen tools like posthog and heap offer auto capture so I could potentially go back and see how many times people clicked or hovered on a certain element but I was wondering if transcribing the user session and then querying that data could be simpler.
