The Problem A large K-12 education company had a problem most teams would envy. They had gone all in on Claude Code. The whole engineering team used it every day, pushed it hard and even had it onboarding new developers through Slack. It worked. Then the...
The Problem Curator by InterWorks is a complex web platform developed by a small but talented developer team. A year ago, it was easy to feel stretched thin between client features, security upgrades, infrastructure maintenance and support requests. It was a constant scheduling problem. It was...
The Problem A client came to us with a mandate from their CTO. They wanted their business users to ask questions of their Snowflake data in plain English, and specifically from inside Claude Desktop, not from a separate analytics tool. Claude Desktop was already where their...
The Problem AI is good at producing HTML artifacts: A research summary, a mockup, a meeting agenda you can actually look at. They’re beautiful, fun and can even have dynamic features. The trouble starts when you try to share one. Slack, Box and email all happily...
The Problem Our IT team supports dozens of medical device brands for a customer. Each manufacturer ships its own technical manuals, and each device has its own quirks, the browser a tool requires, a calibration procedure, a firmware update step, etc. We started with 257 of...
The Problem When a home-services company continued their growth and was able to buy other similar companies, it may have seemed easy on the surface. They have a similar book of customers with similar service histories. However, all of that data must land in the company's central management platform, coming from various...
The use of the AI tools is no longer a novelty in data analysis. In fact, every data platform and BI tool vendor is trying hard to bring more and more AI functionality in their products. On the other end of the spectrum are the...
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....
I recently kicked off a blog series for people (like me) coming to Sigma from a Power BI background. If you haven’t had a chance to read the first blog in this series, that’s a good place to start. To keep building on that thread,...
A few weeks ago I published a post walking through two approaches to dynamic bulk insert in Sigma. One used native action sequences with a loop + condition pattern that required copy and pasting the same action blocks over and over. The other called a...
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...
If you've tried connecting Claude Teams or Claude Enterprise to Databricks using the official Databricks connector in the Claude marketplace, you've probably hit a wall. The connector appears in the directory, you click Connect, and it fails. Depending on where in the flow you are,...
When I first joined InterWorks, I dove straight into Sigma. My first project was building a revenue forecasting app, and more recently my client work has been centered around Sigma development. However, my role here at InterWorks includes continuing to maintain subject matter expertise in Power...
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...
May has come and gone, and with it comes the change of seasons around the InterWorks headquarters. The cicadas have started singing, the afternoon heat returns and the sun never seems to set. It's a nice change of pace. Ask me again in two months...
The first complex app I built in Sigma taught me more about architecture than it taught me about Sigma. It started simply enough: One input table, some additional logic on top, a button that wrote records back to the warehouse. Then complexity crept in: A...
I spent years trying to kill Excel. Not literally. But as an analytics architect, I approached every spreadsheet like a building that needed to be condemned. Manual data entry. No source of truth. Formulas nested inside formulas. One wrong change and the whole thing breaks. I was...
The most expensive mistake you can make on a Sigma App project isn't a technical one. It's starting to build before you've clearly defined what you're building. I've seen projects double in scope mid build because the initial conversation used "Sigma App" to mean something...
I'm a code first person. Given a choice between clicking through a UI and writing SQL, I'll write the SQL. It's faster, clearer and I can read it later. That preference isn't a problem in Sigma. The challenge I ran into wasn't that Sigma didn't...
Why Bulk Insert Is Hard in Sigma Sigma's writeback is designed for row by row input. A user fills out a form, hits submit, one row gets written. That works well for simple data entry. The problem comes when one user action needs to produce multiple output...
