Doing this well requires more than just querying a database. Historically we relied on the expertise of the data owner to know which metric to pull. Now it requires an agent understanding which metrics actually matter and selecting the right ones as they evolve over time. At Glean, when we analyze structured data from systems like Salesforce or Databricks, we look at usage patterns, who produced the metric, and how it’s already being used to infer the likely canonical metric. After all, this is fundamentally a search problem. That said, I think one thing missing from the discussion is that the "data agent" is usually just one component of a larger workflow. Take a prompt like: “Analyze my sales pipeline to understand what’s at risk.” Yes, some of that analysis comes from structured data in systems like Databricks or Snowflake. But a large part of understanding “risk” actually lives in unstructured data. Things like team conversations, comments on documents or spreadsheets, and notes from forecasting review meetings. That's why the context layer can’t just operate on structured data. Context graphs are rising in importance because they recognize that agents need a new kind of data structure to understand how work actually happens and how decisions get made. That's what we're working on here at Glean too.

RIP Canva, Miro, and 100+ other SaaS startups. Claude now builds interactive charts and diagrams directly in chat. Here are the exact workflows replacing your favorite tools: Lucidchart / Miro ($10-15/mo) → "Build me a flowchart showing our customer onboarding process from signup to first purchase" → Get an editable diagram in 30 seconds ChartMogul / Baremetrics ($100+/mo) → Paste your Stripe CSV: "Create a revenue dashboard showing MRR, churn, and growth trends" → Interactive charts, no integration required Whimsical ($10/mo) → "Map out the user journey from Instagram ad to checkout with drop-off points" → Full journey map you can iterate on in conversation Excel/Google Sheets (hours of formatting) → "Here's my sales data. Build a pipeline visualization by stage with conversion rates" → Done in one prompt Canva charts (manual drag and drop) → "Turn this podcast analytics export into a shareable performance dashboard" → Presentation-ready visuals instantly The crazy part is this is all doable on the free plan. These startups charged $10-200/month for worse UX. RIP.

My new black & white dock. I love it!

Holy sh*t: Sam Altman: "The inside view at the companys of looking at what's going to happen - the *world is not prepared.* We're going to have extremely capable models soon. It's going to be a faster takeoff than I originally thought. And that is stressfull and anxiety inducing"

this is fucking hilarious. a $7B japanese toilet company just discovered its ceramics tool can be used to make bleeding-edge AI chips. thats a $60 Billion market. their stock is up 60% on the news.

Friday night dilemma is whether to set up personal OS on Claude Code or in OpenClaw

Claude Code wrote 100% of Anthropic’s new Claude Cowork in a week and a half. If this keeps going, software engineers will have no job.
