Building an AI Chatbot for your SaaS app in 1 day

This webinar walks through building a conversational AI layer for a SaaS product using the MotherDuck MCP server. We'll cover the full loop: connecting an LLM to live user data with read-only scoped access, building a streaming chat backend that handles sequential tool calls, adding custom visualization tools inside the conversation, and isolating customer data with MotherDuck's hypertenancy architecture. You'll leave with a reusable pattern you can drop into your own product.

Zed x MotherDuck x Boundary Meetup: Annoying Stuff AI Gets Wrong (and some stuff it gets right)

Three talks on what AI actually gets wrong in practice. Vaibhav Gupta from BAML argues that Python and TypeScript weren't designed for the agent world and shows what he'd do differently. Jacob Matson from MotherDuck makes the case that your agent should write SQL so you don't have to. Mikayla Maki from Zed covers programming with agents from inside the editor. Talks start at 6:30, followed by open networking with speakers and other builders. At Boundary's space in downtown Seattle.

From Ad Hoc Questions to Real-Time Answers

Data teams field the same questions over and over — "what were last month's numbers," "break this down by region," "compare Q3 to Q4." We built Dives to fix that. Ask your AI agent a question, get an interactive visualization backed by live data, and save it to your workspace. Same question next week? The answer's already there. Join us to see how it works.

Streams, Queries & Quacks: A Data Meetup with Estuary & MotherDuck

We'll walk through turning Slack conversations into a queryable knowledge base using real-time data pipelines. Jonathan Wihl from Estuary will show how streaming data flows into MotherDuck without batch processing, and Jacob Matson from MotherDuck will cover metadata enrichment techniques that improve text-to-SQL accuracy — going beyond traditional foreign keys to surface hidden relationships in your data.
