Some our work followed me into Thanksgiving weekend, as I found myself playing with AI audio and video. One of the first outputs from my experiments is just a small taste of what we came up with.
The Data Song will tell you something, and absolutely nothing about data at the same time!.. It’s silly and depending on it’s reception, this is just the amuse bouche!
Building Value, Delivering Success, and Learning from Failure
Aside from silly experiments, BI migrations with BIChart is picking a lot of steam headed into 2026. Before BIChart , I have seen multiple migrations crash and burn. Automating BI Migrations is tough work and there is a lot of it happening! The BIChart assessment is proving to be quite useful for clients, long before migration is finalized. Here is a November BIChart blog roll, including a recent case study:

DataTools Pro Explorer is now in Snowflake Store
Since we started DataTools Pro in late 2023, we created more than 20 tools to help us solve a number of simple, but painful problems. The first official DataTools Pro native app is available in the Snowflake marketplace. View and Install in Snowflake for free!.
Some thoughts on “AI Readiness” Buzzword
My perspective is “AI Readiness” is just “Readiness” for the next round of disruption we are all experiencing.
Being in a business / technology role for 20 years, I know that disruption is always on the horizon. Every facet of our human to computer experience is continuously improving. Companies like Cursor and Lovable have re-defined hyper growth, reaching $100M and $200M in revenue in their first year of operation. Both AI co-piloted tools are woven into my daily work. The barriers and friction to become a creator is the lowest ever, as demonstrated by my silly video.
How this Viewpoint Impacts Work
My personal experience using generative AI has been positive when my role is steering and course correcting. I have watched generative AI transform individual contributor productivity. However, that productivity plateaus quickly when moving beyond individual contributor into group work. The promise of autonomous agents requires continuous improvement and clear feedback loops from subject matter experts. This is the lens I look through while re-working Metrics Analyst for autonomous workloads and clear feedback loops.
