> Python in Omni, API calls and Writeback in Apps, Retail / Custom Calendars, More MCP Work, and Tons of UX and Content Management Improvements
**Stay in the loop!** Subscribe to the [demo RSS feed](/demos/rss.xml) to be notified when we post new demos.
Demos highlight what we are working on or experimenting with, but are not a guarantee of release. Let us know your thoughts at [support@omni.co](mailto:support@omni.co).
## Visualization Layers Aggregation
*`Rob Miller · Visualization`*
Rob walks through a fix for the "aggregate on aggregate" problem in Layers, where averaging pre-aggregated values produced jagged lines. Shows how the viz now automatically detects the query shape and requests the right grain for subtotals, pivots, and trellised charts.
## Input Columns App
*`Nathan Agrin · Apps AI`*
Demo of a new app built with editable input columns — a Boolean security-training field that persists across refreshes and syncs with the underlying workbook query. Requires manually adding the input column to the query for now; app-side creation is still pending.
## Python In Omni
*`Jonathan Swenson · Python`*
Early prototype of running Python directly inside Omni via an AI agent. Shows queries being generated, Python code executed against the results, and a discussion of sandboxing constraints (limited libraries, restricted network access) needed before it ships.
## Toast Hover Actions
*`Luke Bowerman · UX`*
Small UX improvement to toast notifications in the internal Storybook — hovering reveals a copy icon to grab the toast message, and hovering also pauses the auto-dismiss timer.
## User Content Sharing To The Organization
*`Luke Bowerman · Administration Content Management`*
Demo of sharing a folder or document from My Documents to the entire org, plus a look at the "Share with Me" view and the underlying virtual spaces infrastructure that will allow multiple hubs later this year.
## Required Filter Tiles
*`Luke Bowerman · Dashboards`*
Shows an upcoming change to how required filters affect other tiles on a dashboard — tiles not tied to the required filter's filter map will now still run instead of being blocked.
## Dashboard Stop Queries Button
*`Luke Bowerman · Dashboards`*
New "stop queries" control for dashboards with long-running or runaway queries, including a footer shortcut and behavior when auto-refresh is enabled.
## Content Version History
*`Luke Bowerman · Content Management`*
New consolidated version history view that merges the previously separate workbook change history and draft history into one place, with filtering by draft/published/archived/type. Coming to dashboards and apps shortly after workbooks.
## Granular App Permissions
*`Meredith Dodge · Administration`*
Demo of granular model permissions that let admins restrict a user's ability to edit or create apps while still allowing dashboard/workbook edits — aimed at embed customers who want end users to view apps without modifying them.
## Groups Tab Quality Of Life
*`Meredith Dodge · Administration`*
Quick addition of a Groups tab on the Users page, letting admins add or remove a user from multiple groups directly with a confirmation dialog (bulk removal still requires the API).
## API Calling From Apps
*`Dylan Israel · Apps AI`*
Dylan demos early infrastructure for calling external APIs from within Omni apps, including backend-handled authentication and a Blobby-assisted flow for confirming and triggering an update call.
## dbt Health Notification
*`Buck Ryan · dbt`*
The old dbt health indicator is replaced with a notification bubble on the dbt IDE tab that surfaces file-matching issues and lets you distinguish real mismatches from ignorable warnings.
## Run Query MCP Tool
*`Gustav Staprans · AI MCP`*
New "Run Query" MCP tool that lets AI-generated queries be re-executed on demand without persisting them as a dashboard or workbook — useful for repeatedly refreshing data in external tools like Claude artifacts.
## XLOOKUP SQL Tabs
*`Steven Talbot · Workbook SQL`*
Demo of Xlookups working between raw SQL tabs, query tabs, and now cross-model ("foreign") tabs, including how the switch-model tool resolves the right model automatically and current row-limit constraints.
## Custom Calendar (Retail Calendars)
*`Steven Talbot · Modeling Calendars`*
Experimental support for custom calendar dimensions that remap real dates to a fiscal or retail calendar via a join, plus discussion of extending the idea to custom hierarchies and multi-tenant embed use cases.
## AI BYOK Model Updates
*`Oliver Chang · AI BYOK`*
Updates on Bring-Your-Own-Key model support: a dashboard-editing crash fix for Kimi K3, OpenAI models now working via the Response API, and accuracy benchmarking showing a faster, cheaper tier scoring 50% on a hard prompt set.
## Navigation AI In Workbook
*`Gustav Staprans · AI`*
Demo of new navigation AI in Workbook that lets the AI switch tabs, inspect other tabs' charts, and decide whether to update the current tab or a different one — unlocking cross-tab edits like recoloring a chart on a tab you're not viewing.
