ThoughtSpot
Part 2

Our RevOps guy DIY’d this video with AI. You can see how that turned out.

So, how deep is Dave’s mistake?

Spoiler alert: Dave’s still working on it.

Every homegrown build starts the same way: a few charts, a quick win, a proud demo. Then customers start asking for more, and the whole thing starts to sink.

Still building it yourself? There’s an easier way

Tried building BI in-house? You’re in good company.

Dave isn’t the only one who tried. Plenty of product teams have built their own analytics and hit the same wall. Join this week’s live ThoughtSpot Embedded session and see how to add AI-powered analytics to your product without spending a year building it.

Same dashboard. Very different weekend.

How it looks is the easy part to see. How long it takes to get there is the part that hurts.

Twelve months of building, or two weeks to launch?

Here’s how a year tends to play out on each path. Drag through it and see where each one lands.

For your developers

A few lines with the Visual Embed SDK, REST APIs for everything else, and SpotterCode, an AI coding agent that works right in the IDE.

import { init, LiveboardEmbed } from '@thoughtspot/visual-embed-sdk';

init({ thoughtSpotHost: 'https://your-company.thoughtspot.cloud' });

new LiveboardEmbed('#analytics', {
  liveboardId: 'your-liveboard-id',
}).render();  // that’s the whole build

  • Predictable AI costsThoughtSpot manages token consumption for you.
  • Actions, not screenshotsWritebacks and workflows straight from the chart.
