Chat with your data using the Birdwatcher Slack App
Blog post from Tinybird
Birdwatcher is an AI agent integrated with Tinybird that facilitates data exploration, monitoring, and analysis through Slack, offering a conversational interface for querying data directly from the messaging platform. Users can install the Birdwatcher Slack App and run the /birdwatcher-config command to connect it to their Tinybird workspace, allowing them to use natural language to access organizational metrics and data insights. The app functions by routing Slack event subscriptions to the Birdwatcher agent, which processes requests using the Tinybird Remote MCP Server. Birdwatcher also supports hybrid mode, combining notifications with interactive conversations to monitor and address issues, such as CPU spikes in Tinybird clusters, using GitHub Actions for deployment. This setup enables users to receive alerts and conduct further investigations by interacting with the Birdwatcher agent in Slack, leveraging tools like the explore_data feature for detailed data analysis.
