@JessicaTalisman has spent 25 years on the part of AI that nobody posts about.
Most AI deployments skip all of it, then wonder why the agent is confidently wrong.
Oct 14, 8am PT, with @d3fmacro.

"Sounds of Seattle" 1991, festival gratuito pagado por el ayuntamiento para publicitar el talento local. Pearl Jam cierran el concierto a tres días de publicar su primer álbum "Ten" y a un mes de que saliera el "Nevermind" de Nirvana que cambiaría la industria musical de un día para otro.
"Ten" no cuajó en un primer momento tras su lanzamiento y tuvieron que pasar ocho meses hasta que la fuerza de arrastre de "Smells Like Teen Spirit" —y el repentino interés hacia otras bandas grunges por parte de la MTV—, alzaran al icónico álbum al número dos de las listas estadounidenses.
Este fue el último momento en que Pearl Jam no fueron nadie. Tocando en su ciudad, para una mezcla de fans tempraneros del grupo y paisanos que pasaban por ahí y no tenían nada mejor que hacer.
Documentazo.

An analyst who understand their data sources can correct a wrong answer about cancelled orders from an AI query on their enterprise data. But the correction dies with the session, and next week someone else repeats it.
So memory is an entity in Collate with owners, reviewers, certification, and RBAC.

We improved Claude's accuracy 7x on messy enterprise data. Without changing the model or tuning the prompt.
Using the Spider 2.0 benchmark, built on real production warehouses: messy table names, no documentation, a decade of naming drift. Claude Sonnet scored 10.8% accuracy.
We ran the identical questions again, but with a context layer in place. Accuracy jumped to 76.5%.
A context layer is where you write down what your data actually means, in a form the agent can read before it writes SQL. Without it, the agent sees tables and columns and has to guess. With a context graph, it actually understands your data.

The merger of @fivetran and @getdbt sent some shockwaves through the data community, but lucky for you, Collate supports both as part of your #datagovernance ecosystem. In this new Collate Solutions, Aydin Geeringh, and @progrockrec will show you what Fivetran looks like in Collate, how to set it up, and how to take advantage of the advanced tools available, such as full #datalineage. This video is not to be missed!

🚀 Connecting Collate to @StarRocksLabs just got easier. In this episode of Collate Solutions, @progrockrec teamed up with Chris Sapinksi of @phoenixdataai to build a seamless integration that lets you catalog and govern your StarRocks data warehouse in minutes.
You'll learn how quick it is to connect StarRocks to Collage, and you'll also get an example of exploring the ingested assets using our conversational, Ask Collate, AI interface. No more digging through settings menus or wondering how to get back to that spot you saw one time. Just Ask Collate!

DPDP introduces stricter expectations around how personal data is handled across its lifecycle.
This includes consent tracking, purpose limitation, and accountability - all of which require real system-level control.
As enforcement approaches, gaps in control become immediate risks.
See how teams are building operational control in the DPDP whitepaper!

BCBS 239 isn't just a regulatory checkbox. It's a framework for how organizations should manage, aggregate, and report risk data.
At its core, it requires:
• Accuracy
• Completeness
• Timeliness
• Traceability
Most teams struggle because these principles span multiple systems and teams.
Have a look at the full BCBS 239 whitepaper to see how leading teams are operationalizing this in practice!

Jo Perez is back with another fabulous episode of Data 30, "From Data to Decisions".
Dashboards have been the default way to share data insights for decades. But as teams scale and AI enters the picture, the old way of building and sharing charts is starting to show its cracks.
In this session, we'll look at what modern insight sharing actually looks like, from building dashboards with the right context baked in to making sure your team can trust what they're looking at. We'll dig into how a strong metadata foundation changes the way insights are created, discovered, and acted on across your organization.
