Whenever I'm looking at a dashboard, one of the things that pops in my mind all the time is, “what did this look like last month?“

It would be amazing just to be able to go back and look at what that dashboard said last month so you get a feel for what data you were looking at when you made decisions in the past.

With the update history in artifacts, you can do exactly this! As your artifacts refresh with new data, you never lose the ability to time travel backwards, if you want to see what that artifact looked like last month or last quarter.

This is a really powerful feature for being able to think through how you made decisions on that data in the past versus how you make decisions on that data now.

Hi there,

You build a dashboard. Use it for a week. Then realize you want to change three things about it. Usually that means going back to whoever built it, filing a request, and waiting. With Zoë’s Artifacts, you just say what you want changed (and that’s it).

Anyone can easily create, edit, and improve their Artifacts just by asking Zoë. And every time you make an edit Zoe shows you your update history so you can easily time travel back to previous versions, and iterate from whichever version you like most.

Here's what editing an Artifact looks like in practice.

One of the most common complaints about dashboards that I hear from business leaders is that dashboards tell you the “What”, not the “Why”

But why is that?

It's because dashboards are set up to look at a certain set of data and whenever they reload they don't have any intelligence. They just show you that same data reloaded for a new time period. Just the “What”

Artifacts are different.

Whenever you refresh an artifact with new data, you can tell it in plain language what drivers and deep dives you want to dig into, and Zoë will dig right into it and add it into your finished result.

This means week over week, your dashboard doesn't actually look exactly the same. Your key KPIs are all the same, but the drivers section of what's moving those KPIs will update every week based on what's actually driving those KPIs, not some static guess.

Your dashboards should be as curious as you are. Here's what that looks like →

One of the reasons I love artifacts is that they are so interactive and so easy to share.

When I create a new artifact, I can have Zoë add interactive components that let people filter and do drill downs right inside of the artifact and all those deep dives run instantly.

What's even better is after I make that artifact, I can share it seamlessly with anybody on my team and make sure that the right people have the right access to the data they need in just a matter of seconds.

Build it once, share it in seconds, and let your team explore it on their own. Here's how it works.

Hi there,

Today, we're excited to launch Web Search!

Web search is massively important for analytics agents. But it also should be very scary.

Why is it so complicated for analytics agents? Because they have access to private data, which is the third leg of Simon Willison's Lethal Trifecta. It's extremely important that web search is secure for an analytics agent who has access to sensitive company data.

What if the agent sees some malicious context from the web search and takes an unexpected action to send that data out of your system? Some of your most precious and sensitive data could be exfiltrated by a hacker just like that. In seconds.

That's why we've designed a custom web-search implementation natively for data agents. It's not possible for our agent to exfiltrate data because we carefully craft its tools so that capability doesn’t exist.

With secure web search, our customer use cases are incredible:

• One retail customer had a competitor shut down several stores. They used web search to find those store locations and launch targeted promos in the area, tuned with their internal marketing data.
• One manufacturer customer tracked how they meet their SLA commitments to their customers, and used web search to find the latest news that might be impacting that customer.
• A software customer cross-references product launch data with competitor activities, to understand how usage spikes and then decays after big launches.

Web search with your data is amazing (when it's secure). Here's what that looks like →

Hi there,

It's really easy for any AI interface to be a giant stream of text from the agent that's visually exhausting for the human. Honestly, we had that same problem with Zoë.

Zoë can do a ton of work, but when she does all that work, you used to see a long string of accordions where Zoë was taking different actions and building resources and iterating on the results for you.

Now we've cleaned up that experience dramatically. Whenever Zoë goes to answer a question she'll group her bodies of work together in easily understandable headings and you can just focus on the results you care about, without sacrificing the ability to dig deep into how Zoë got the answer.

I love how the new UI is looking and you can check it out here →

Hi there,

Artifacts are now in public preview!

We're excited to launch Artifacts out of beta and into a public preview. All Zenlytic customers will now have access to artifacts and be able to create incredibly rich data readouts for themselves and their teams.

Artifacts are a really deep feature set. So this is something I'm going to be diving into over the next few weeks to highlight more on what you can do with them.

To start, this is my favorite jumping off point that makes it easy for people to get started and build something amazing in just a few minutes.

Artifacts → Create Artifact → Watch the magic happen

Hi there,

We've made several updates to how you work with Zoë.

Chat history is now grouped and collapsible, making it easier to find past conversations. You can also run multiple chats at the same time — start a new conversation while another is still running.

Data Model Editor & Workspace Settings have moved to the bottom of the sidebar. Depending on your role, you may or may not see these.

Account menu (bottom left) now includes Workspace Manager and Support (formerly Help).

Everything works the same — just easier to find.

Every team works differently, and now Zoë can too.

Workspace Manager gives your admins the ability to create dedicated agents for different teams and domains across your organization. Each agent can be tailored to the workflows, terminology, and data needs of the people using it, so finance Zoë speaks finance, and ops Zoë speaks ops.

For enterprise organizations managing complex data environments, this means you can scale Zoë’s impact across the entire business, not just the teams who were first to adopt her.

Ready to set it up? Head to your Workspace Manager to create new agents.

Hi there,

We are launching an improved and more intelligent version of Zoë using what we're calling exploratory mode. This update gives Zoe the ability to answer more complex questions while still fully governing and explaining how she gets to her answers.

Here's a quick 1 min video summarizing her new capabilities

If you prefer the previous mode of interaction, you can hit X on the exploratory mode icon in the conversation to go back to the previous experience.
