Check out the demo showcasing how Rill integrates an agent using built-in APIs to query metrics, verifies its numbers with actual queries, & even provides a pre-created pivot table.

The best part is that it provides clickable links that open in Rill itself!

"What do I think about when I wake up in the morning? I want to democratize access to data. As soon as you empower people with insights into what's going on, relevant to their role, that's where we can start to win because it's all about speed. That's where Rill came in."

See pics for highlights.

📣We're excited to announce a brand new time syntax in Rill📣

Previously time ranges relied on ISO durations. While standard, ISO durations can create ambiguity around complete periods and handling of the latest data.

Rill's new syntax gives you precise control over time ranges and reference points.

If you're at #BigDataLDN, we'd love to show you in person how Rill is not like most BI tools.

Rill's unique product architecture significantly reduces cloud data warehouse costs by optimizing data storage and query speeds, offering up to 50% savings and 10-20 times faster data access.

"What previous tools did is they allowed us to answer questions that we asked, which is important. What Rill allows us to do is to answer the questions we haven't asked yet."

In our 2nd episode of Data-Driven Leaders, we interviewed Glenn Goldman, Director of Product Management at Digital Turbine.

💡Tip Thursday - sometimes all you want is your data in a table and everything else out of the way💡

Rill’s metrics first approach means all the KPIs & visualizations in the Explore dashboard are also available in a pivot table letting you quickly summarize the data.

💡Tip Thursday - Did you know that the Rill leaderboard is a leaderboard for *every* dimension in the model?💡

The leaderboard is super powerful. It’s a combination of a bar chart + a table. Plus if you have the period comparison selected, you can easily see changes by value and percent.

LLMs give their best results when they have good context. For example: knowing how to include Explore dashboard links in their responses.

@jonwalls.dev shows how to include ai_instructions to your model, which automatically adds the context for every conversation.
