Summary

Compass revolutionizes data interaction within Dagster by enabling a dynamic, two-way conversation with data, moving beyond static dashboards that often fail to provide the necessary context for understanding complex data insights. Traditional dashboards, while accurate in presenting data, do not facilitate the exploration of the underlying reasons behind trends, as they lack integration with users' institutional knowledge and context. Compass leverages AI advancements to allow users, regardless of their technical expertise, to engage directly with data, asking follow-up questions and refining assumptions in real-time, thus fostering true data fluency. This approach democratizes data analysis by reducing reliance on technical specialists, allowing broader access to meaningful insights and enhancing collaborative data engagement. By capturing and systematizing business context, Compass transforms each interaction into a learning opportunity, enriching the organizational knowledge base. As an extension of Dagster's mission to manage data complexity, Compass aims to evolve into a comprehensive repository of organizational knowledge, making data more accessible and actionable.
