"This is actually the most interesting business intelligence tool that no one knows about. And for good reason because it gives you a super power." Thank you Anil Vaitll (Co-Founder & CTO NOCD for showcasing the power of Rill & @clickhouse.com com meetup in Chicago. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ctbG...

Each integration came together quickly: Stripe with just a token, AWS CUR from S3, and GCP billing straight from BigQuery. This powerful tool stack combined with dlt's connectors, @duckdb.org and @rilldata.com's interactive dashboards, deliver a real-time, consolidated analytics view.

ICYMI - @medriscoll.com sat down with Joe Reis for a breakdown of what Joe calls the “Great Data Reset". Top Takeaways: - AI has vaporized old advantages - giving sharp builders new leverage - Classical ML + NLP are coming back swinging - How to stand out when 500+ engineers flood every job posting

This next article tackles the challenge of getting multi-cloud cost insights with a simple pre-setup framework that is extensible with dlt. The project that comes with this article contains incremental import pipelines, models them in metrics, and showcases them as unified dashboards.

Here's a guide to analyze your own Git project. The result is an interactive dashboard that offers actionable insights. Ex: - What parts of your codebase have most churn? - Do some contributors have large commit tendency? - How does weekly productivity change? docs.rilldata.com/guides/githu...

“You might ask ‘how can we know this information is right?’ The answer is we’ve taken the time to define every metric so the agent is consistent every time”. Thank you Salomon Vaisberg from Drio Tech for highlighting Rill's agentic analytics in your webinar. www.youtube.com/watch?v=i7dH...

Data Talks on the Rocks is BACK 🥃 AI shockwaves, mass consolidation, & collapsing toolchains have pushed every practitioner back to zero. But Joe Reis flips the script: this isn’t a meltdown - it’s the biggest opportunity builders have had in a decade. Find the episode here: datatalks.rilldata.com

Data Talks on the Rocks is where builders sit down, trade stories, & get real about the work. The failures that taught more than any victory. No hype, no jargon, just real conversations about how things actually get built. A podcast for the ones that keep building. Subscribe👇 datatalks.rilldata.com

Our last feature highlight from the Rill 0.75 release is Canvas bookmarks. Save specific views of your Canvas visualizations, revisit them instantly, or share insights with your team. Perfect for tracking metrics or comparing perspectives on your data. Learn more: docs.rilldata.com/notes/0.75

We're re-launching Data Talks on the Rocks - the newest episode with Joe Reis drops on Nov 18. Who’s a builder in data engineering you’d like to hear from? Past guests - Hannes Muhleisen (DuckDB), Guillermo Rauch (Vercel), Alexey Milovidov (ClickHouse), Lloyd Tabb (Looker) datatalks.rilldata.com

In Rill .75, AI agents can now return rich visualizations directly in the chat. We also updated the homepage to help you get started faster! This builds on the last release of citation URLs & full semantic layer access, making Rill’s AI agent even more powerful for analysis and collaboration.

Rill 0.75 is out with tons of exciting features we'll highlight over the week. Up first is Dark Mode for Rill Developer 😎 We carefully refined chart palettes and UI elements so everything looks great in both light and dark themes. Keep an eye out for dark mode support in Rill Cloud coming soon!

Honored to be mentioned as a leader in the "Headless / Embedded BI & Semantic Layer" category in the 2025 MAD (ML, AI & Data) Landscape. Interactive version (searchable, with data cards): mad.firstmark.com Blog: www.mattturck.com/mad2025

💡Tip Thursday - set up bookmarks to instantly share with colleagues and partners💡 Use cases: - Weekly/monthly reporting - Filtering for specific users (ex: account manager's clients) - Common troubleshooting questions starting with a subset of problem dimensions www.youtube.com/watch?v=VqS8...

Everyone is embedding AI chat in their product, but does it actually help? @ssp.sh identifies 3 key to make it actually work: semantics, speed, stewardship. A great agentic workflow is one that helps with your work but still lets you remain in the driver’s seat. www.rilldata.com/blog/data-mo...

In data analytics, we're facing a paradox. AI agents can theoretically analyze anything, but without the right foundations, they're as likely to hallucinate a metric as to calculate it correctly. They can write SQL in seconds, but will it answer the right business question?

💡Tip Thursday - embrace BI-as-code and publish changes using GitHub💡 Rill is a code-based platform, which means when we make changes to a dashboard or metric definition, everything is saved. We publish changes to Rill Cloud using Git version control. Learn more: youtu.be/wzhnORYyBlE?...

Extensions put Gemini CLI at the center of an open ecosystem in which anyone can build integrations. Be on the lookout for a Rill extension coming soon!

📣 Introducing AI Agents for Rill 📣 Building on our existing MCP server integration, we're excited to share project-wide chat in Rill, which is our first interactive agent of many to come. 🚀 It's not just a chatbot—you always have a dashboard ready to back up any responses from the AI! 🤯

✈️The Rill team will be in NY for 4 exciting events in October✈️ If you're at any of the events below (or if you live in New York), let's meet up! 🗓️Advertising Week (Oct 6-9) 🗓️OpenHouse NYC - hosted by @clickhouse.com (Oct 7) 🗓️PrebidSummit (Oct 14) 🗓️OptableConnect (Oct 16) www.rilldata.com/events

💡Tip Thursday - learn different ways to edit metrics using the UI, BI-as-code, or AI💡 If you want to move fast, Rill provides a nice developer environment for shipping things quickly. AI makes it very easy to make changes and Rill’s architecture makes it easy to confirm. youtu.be/IWcv12aUKLc?...

"What do I think about when I wake up in the morning? I want to democratize access to data. As soon as you empower people with insights into what's going on, relevant to their role, that's where we can start to win because it's all about speed. That's where Rill came in." See pics for highlights.

📣We're excited to announce a brand new time syntax in Rill📣 Previously time ranges relied on ISO durations. While standard, ISO durations can create ambiguity around complete periods and handling of the latest data. Rill's new syntax gives you precise control over time ranges and reference points.

💡Tip Thursday - use AI to generate metrics with one click💡 The metrics views are the heart of a Rill project. They define the measures and dimensions that support the end user dashboards. In this video, Jon shares a diagram to showcase how metrics views work. Learn more: youtu.be/RchzVUbhFss?...

If you're at #BigDataLDN, we'd love to show you in person how Rill is not like most BI tools. Rill's unique product architecture significantly reduces cloud data warehouse costs by optimizing data storage and query speeds, offering up to 50% savings and 10-20 times faster data access.

That’s a wrap on another great DMEXCO! We loved chatting with customers & prospects on how to gain real insights from your data. Everyone deserves an analytics data stack that is simple, flexible, and cost efficient! If we missed you, hope to catch you at our next round of events in NYC in October.

"What previous tools did is they allowed us to answer questions that we asked, which is important. What Rill allows us to do is to answer the questions we haven't asked yet." In our 2nd episode of Data-Driven Leaders, we interviewed Glenn Goldman, Director of Product Management at Digital Turbine.

Front page of HackerNews 🎉 Thanks for collaborating on another great piece @ssp.sh. Check out this article to see a practical example that models data stored and updated on S3, ingests and aggregates it with ClickHouse, and utilizes Rill for visualization. www.ssp.sh/blog/practic...

Data modeling got on the back burner for way too long. But one that is even less written about is the modeling of real-time analytics, so-called OLAP cubes. How do we model them? Do we take a different approach to DWHs? At what level of granularity do we persist/cache? Common errors or practices?

💡Tip Thursday - watch this video for a tour of the Rill project structure💡 Rill is 100% BI-as-code which means all of the files are visible on the left hand sidebar. The breadcrumbs on top show exactly how the visualization is built out (source → model → metrics → explore) youtu.be/xWymmKhqEf4?...

Who's going to #BigDataLDN? 🙋 The Rill team is excited to meet face-to-face with the data community to learn about cool new tools, share best practices, and find solutions to major data challenges. Let's meet up and explore how Rill can fit into your architecture. www.rilldata.com/events/big-d...
