AI codegen feels magical, until you try to build on top of it. It’s not that the code is broken. It just doesn’t fit. The abstractions are off. The state is scattered. You end up rewriting it all. AI needs opinionated defaults. Read more: www.preswald.com/blog/opensrc...

🚀Preswald OSS Launch Week Day 1: API data sources Connect any REST API from config → response is parsed + loaded into DuckDB → query it like a database Thanks to Lokesh Velayudha (github.com/lokeshvelayu...) for the contribution! github.com/StructuredLa...

Preswald just hit 2K GitHub stars. Onward and upward! github.com/StructuredLa...

We put together a step-by-step guide on using Preswald to turn raw chatbot logs into an interactive debugging dashboard. www.preswald.com/blog/ai-chat...

Pyodide lets you run Python right in the browser. No installs, no setup, just open a link and go. It makes sharing and running data apps so much easier. Try it out with Preswald today: github.com/StructuredLa...

CSVs Are Not Databases: The challenges of local data exploration open.substack.com/pub/structur...

@Structured teamed up with @MotherDuck to show how you can analyze massive public health datasets 4x faster and turn them into live, interactive data apps in just a few lines of Python, using our OSS framework Preswald.

Reason I don’t believe in the Mon-Fri, 9-5 life: I’ll often have bursts of inspiration/creativity that sometimes last 4-5 days, where I can’t sleep, can’t eat. I have to build. Then, ofc I’ll crash for 24 hrs after.

B2A: The future of analytics isn’t human For the agents. By the agents. Read more: blog.structuredlabs.com/p/b2a-the-fu...

We’re used to thinking of software as something permanent: bought, maintained, and scaled. But what if it didn’t have to be? The cost of writing code has plummeted, making it easier than ever to build ephemeral software open.substack.com/pub/structur...

Enjoying a no-meeting Sunday to build. Lots of exciting stuff shipping soon :D

Debugging AI voice agents is way easier when you have the right dashboards. With DuckDB & Structured, you can pull logs locally, run instant SQL queries, and turn messy data into clear, interactive dashboards. blog.structuredlabs.com/p/debugging-...

We present a comparative evaluation of two state-of-the-art language models, DeepSeek-R1 and OpenAI-GPT, focusing on their generative performance in a specialized domain: knock-knock joke creation. While traditional benchmarks evaluate language models on metrics such as perplexity or BLEU scores

Excited to speak at the AITinkerers San Francisco meetup on Jan 29! I'll be showing how to set up lightweight local analytics dashboards w/ Python. Don't miss it! sf.aitinkerers.org/p/ai-tinkere...

Structured blog is now officially live: blog.structuredlabs.com We’re sharing technical deep dives, real-world challenges, and how we’re building Structured to solve complex AI and analytics problems. If that’s your thing, check it out and subscribe today. 👉

We recently explored Ibis, a Python library designed to simplify working with data across multiple storage systems and processing engines. Wrote up some learnings here: open.substack.com/pub/structur...

In 2022, “chat-with-your-data” tools felt like magic. Type a question, get a SQL query, and watch insights flow. But now it’s 2025, and we know better: SQL generation is the easiest part of analytics. open.substack.com/pub/structur...

In 2025, analytics will no longer be an isolated function. It will be the operating system of the modern org, powering decisions, automating processes, predicting the future. Treat analytics as a product asset. Scalable, modular, actionable - not a passive reporting tool

Launches always require a tremendous amount of effort, and this one is no exception. We've poured so much heart into everything we've built and shared with the world. This launch has gotten overwhelming love from our users- a good reminder of why we do what we do. github.com/StructuredLa...

Analytics success depends on asking the right questions upfront. Many projects fail because they start with vague goals like “We need a dashboard” without understanding the problem they’re solving. open.substack.com/pub/structur...

We just released an open source SDK for Preswald. Preswald is a lightweight Python framework that makes it easy to build, visualize, and deploy data apps—all in one place. ⭐ Star the repo and let us know what you think! github.com/StructuredLa...

TensorFlow organizes computations as a DAG: nodes represent operations, and edges define their dependencies. This structure enforces order, ensures reproducibility, and provides transparency. shorturl.at/f42JQ

What if building data apps was as easy as snapping a photo on an iphone? Once expensive and rare, apps would become abundant and instinctive. Personal/hyper-local dashboards, or event-specific tools built at the speed of thought. When cost & effort drop 100x, everything changes. shorturl.at/EUsB2

What we learned from building a no-code data stack. And why we changed course. How AI copilots solve what no-code apps simply cannot. structuredlabs.substack.com/p/what-we-le...

🌊 Recent earthquakes & tsunami warnings in SF. We built an interactive data in minutes using the USGS Earthquake API & Preswald. From API to insights, all code, no friction. 🚀

The best systems make hard things simple. Data lakes started as a great idea: scalable storage for diverse datasets. but as they grew, they got messy: fragmented files, clunky metadata, etc. S3 Tables/Metadata fix this by baking management and discovery into the storage layer shorturl.at/FqvLj

Tools succeed by solving a specific problem well, but that success often seeds their own obsolescence. The tool becomes a Swiss Army knife, wielded for jobs it was never designed for. Spreadsheets, for example, weren’t meant to replace databases. The same w/ notebooks. What's next? shorturl.at/MWj7z

Data engineering isn't just software engineering with data. LLM copilots sound cool, but where's the benchmark for schema drift, broken pipelines, and data chaos? 🤨 🔗 open.substack.com/pub/structur...

Ever inherited a Franken-stack of analytics? The real cost isn’t just the tools—it’s the time, engineering capacity, and opportunity costs they drain. open.substack.com/pub/structur...

Had a great chat with joe from Hydra.so about pg_duckdb today. pg_duckdb integrates DuckDB directly into Postgres, so you can handle complex queries—on millions of rows or external files like Parquet—without moving data around or setting up extra pipelines. shorturl.at/gVvDr

I just tried out the AI code generation feature directly in Google CoLab, and it’s honestly really neat

Metrics ≠ tools. Metrics = discipline - No ownership = no accountability - Vanity metrics rule. Clicks ≠ revenue. Features ≠ retention - Stop spinning wheels - Gut > data. Leaders who ignore metrics sabotage the team - Garbage data in = garbage dashboards out. 🔗 open.substack.com/pub/structur...

Great things happen when you strip away unnecessary complexity. analytics stacks are overbuilt—ETL, warehouses, and fragmented 🔹 Automating metadata management w/ code/AI 🔹 Connecting to databases and data lakes declaratively 🔹 Defining BI as code+Using dltHub/Evidence 🔗 shorturl.at/V8SZ1
