DuckDB's agent moment (Jordan Tigani)

Jordan Tigani helped build BigQuery, then left to bet that most data isn't actually big. Three years later, the agent era is making his case for him. In this conversation on The Analytics Engineering Podcast, he and host Tristan Handy talk about how MotherDuck and DuckDB fit together, why a single-node database makes more sense than you'd think for agents, and what it would actually look like to have a swarm of agents managing your data.

Zero-Latency Analytics in Your Application with Dives

BI tools were never built to be app interfaces — they're rigid, clunky, and add complexity to your user experience. Dives offer a different approach: interactive data apps you create with natural language that can be embedded directly into your applications. In this session, Alex Monahan walks through how to build a Dive and embed it in your app, with help from AI agents. You'll learn how to create interactive visualizations with natural language queries, embed Dives into your app with a secure sandbox, set up the auth flow so your users get read-only access without exposing credentials, and choose between server-side and dual execution with DuckDB-Wasm. Whether you're building customer-facing analytics or internal tools, this webinar shows you the full workflow from query to production-ready embed. See how Claude Code + Dives can get you from zero to a working data app fast.
