With the advent of AI, nearly every talking point in the datasphere revolves in some way around how to leverage AI in your business. While there have never been more accessible tools to get started with AI, it can feel incredibly overwhelming via choice paralysis....
Every organization right now feels the pressure to "do AI." Executives want chatbots, business users want to ask questions in plain language and get instant answers, and someone in the boardroom saw a demo of natural language querying so now it's on the roadmap. Demand...
In my very first Sigma blog, I will show you how to create a dynamic sales spreadsheet with a custom “Create Note per Row” and comment history workflow. The idea came through my recent client project within a finance team. We had a weekly sales breakdown table showing closed deals, product...
Why a School Directory Needs More Than Dashboards School directories rarely fail because of complexity. They fail because of process. In most environments: The warehouse holds the authoritative staff and student data Dashboards display it Updates happen somewhere else That separation creates delay, duplication and mistrust. Administrators export...
Months are kinda feeling like weeks this year, right? I'm not the only one feeling that? Somehow, we're about a quarter of the way through 2026, and things aren't feeling like they're slowing down anytime soon. But that's okay! Whatever the year brings, the InterWorks blog...
We had 257 PDFs nobody could search easily — technical manuals for the medical devices our team supports every day. When a tech needed an answer, it was there, buried on page 2 of a file three folders deep in Box. Now, they just ask...
Can your smartwatch tell when you had a bad week before you admit it? We built a full data pipeline from Apple Watch to Snowflake to Tableau to find out — and what came back was more honest than we expected. Click here to see the...
Hey there, folks! This wild ride keeps right on going, doesn't it? Nevertheless, so do we! This month on the InterWorks blog, we had a record-setting number of blogs come out. From start to finish, we managed to get 32 blogs out into the aether, which is...
A client came to us with a mandate from their CTO: They wanted their business users to be able to ask natural language questions against their Snowflake data, specifically from Claude Desktop rather than Snowflake Intelligence or a custom Streamlit app in Snowflake. Claude Desktop...
This is part of an ongoing series where I discuss Terraform and its specific benefits (or drawbacks) to data teams. What This Blog is Not Meant to Be This blog is not meant to be a How to Terraform Your Snowflake Data Warehouse blog. If you are...
Today, global business operations represent the norm, rather than the exception, intensifying the volumes of data collected. Not only does this increased bandwidth of data come with a rise in the amount of sensitive data collected, but regulatory considerations begin to not-so subtly creep into...
Snowflake OpenFlow is a native data integration capability that brings Apache NiFi-style pipeline orchestration directly into the Snowflake ecosystem. If you want a solid introduction to what it is and what it can do, I strongly recommend starting with this post from the InterWorks blog. Here, I'll assume you're already across...
We're excited to announce that Daniel Tan, Roger Garcia, and Maaz Mazhar, three members of our Australian team, have been selected for the Snowflake APJ Partner Champion Program cohort for 2026.

In the field of data engineering, it sometimes feels like new tools are being introduced merely for the sake of novelty, only to have the exact same benefits and pitfalls as the previous new, shiny tool. When I first heard about "dlt" (data load tool),...
