We all would like business users to interact with our reports proactively. But their day is as hectic as yours and receiving a push notification by Email or in Slack is just convenient.

So, now you can also schedule a conversation when clicking on the Share Button.

Bonus: Reply to the scheduled push message in Slack, and Dot will keep the context.

Speed

Nobody ever said, I wish my computer would be slower. So we made Dot faster.

Average response times went down from 50 seconds to 23 seconds.

How did we do it?

• GPT4o can’t just talk, it’s also significantly faster than GPT4-Turbo

• By following in steps of Google and reducing tail latency

We’ll probably always struggle with that because we want Dot to do as much as possible when answering a user request (searching, reasoning, double-checking, visualizing, interpreting, …) but it should still be fast.

More Updates

• Dot now shows which filters were used to answer questions, making results clearer.

• Analyze Dot's usage by enabling the 🗨️ Dot Usage connector in Settings/Connections.

• Dot will automatically detect the primary key of a table when you first enable it or click “Suggest.”

• Dot learned to handle dates in Looker, ensuring the last day of a timeframe is included.

• Dot also learned to handle case-sensitive Snowflake tables.

• Dot can now connect to SAP HANA and DuckDB.

• Dot now pulls semantic model descriptions and names from the dbt Semantic Layer, activating all fields by default.

Talk to you soon,

Rick
