How Dagster Compass Powers Brooklyn Data’s Self-Service Analytics

Text-to-analytics (T2A) offers self-service access to data, with usability, governance, and trust being key to its adoption. Brooklyn Data, a data consulting firm, shares its experience with deploying Compass, a text-to-analytics tool integrated within Slack, which works by using a large language model to interpret user queries and retrieve relevant data. The firm emphasizes the advantage of Compass in providing a familiar, interactive platform for querying data without requiring a separate login or interface, while maintaining centralized governance. By integrating with Snowflake, Compass offers improved searchability and operational efficiency for Brooklyn Data, reducing the time needed to retrieve information from their professional services automation software. Users can provide direct input to the model, enhancing its contextual understanding and performance. Compass's seamless integration into Slack allows team members to make data-driven decisions quickly, and its success at Brooklyn Data has led to plans for broader adoption within the company and a future expansion to marketing data.
