CI Dashboard
Luke Bowerman · Internal Developer Productivity
Luke demos a new CI dashboard showing continuous integration run volume and performance gains — CI run times dropped from ~36 minutes to ~24 minutes (30% faster) while costing 2% less. Includes a look at the developer-facing view and the biggest recent win (moving Playwright earlier in the test suite).
External (Single Content) Users
Luke Bowerman · Sharing Administration
Luke demos external user support, now in private beta on Playground. External users are normal users defaulted to seeing zero organization content — admins must share content piece by piece (documents, connections, models). Covers role assignment, custom roles, limitations (no routines or deliveries, hub hidden), and the path to GA.
App Drill Capabilities
Arielle Strong · Apps AI
Demo showing new drill capabilities wired into the app SDK. Apps can now use drills sourced through core model fields, fully governed. Developers can build custom drill experiences — pop-up tables, sidebars, or custom visualizations — on top of the governed drill layer.
Self-Hosted Maps
Will Chase · Maps Visualization Apps
Will demos self-hosted web maps in apps using Protomaps tiles and MapLibre, replacing paid Mapbox and Carto dependencies. Tiles are hosted on Omni’s own AWS instance at roughly 1/100th the cost, with no API key limits or rotation headaches. Works in light and dark mode, and Blobby defaults to this recipe for any map request.
Blobby User Input
Chris Swenson · AI
Chris demos updates to the request user input tool in Blobby. New input types include single-select (specific questions with specific answers), multi-select, and an add-detail mode that supports file uploads and dictation. Users can escape out of prompts and return to them by clicking back.
Blobby IDE Navigation
Chris Swenson · Ai Modeling
Chris demos two new Blobby tools: an expanded navigate tool that can move users to the IDE for modeling tasks (with prompting to ask permission first), and a new branch-switching tool that works from the IDE or other contexts.
Extension Models Menu
Jade Khiev · Modeling
Quality-of-life demo showing cleanup of the extension models menu ahead of GA. The menu is reorganized to make shared extensions a more advanced, opt-in feature, with improved in-product guidance, docs links, and a cleaner branch menu that allows switching branches from within a branch.
Auto Mode Model Switching
Gustav Staprans · AI
Demo of auto mode model switching in Blobby. In auto mode, Blobby seamlessly switches the underlying model when a question requires a different data source — no prompt needed. When a user explicitly locks a topic, Blobby uses an interrupt to ask before switching models, giving power users control over when context changes.
Archive Your Entire Last BI Tools in Omni
Drea Brown · Migration Looker
Drea demos a standalone BI dashboard archive tool that captures and reconstructs an entire Looker instance — dashboards, SQL, Look ML, user attributes, roles, and schedules. Supports multiple archive types (Looker, Tableau, Power BI, MicroStrategy), CSV-driven phased migrations by priority and effort tier, load history with audit trails, and dark mode. Designed to give customers confidence during migrations by preserving a safe snapshot of their legacy BI. Note: contains prospect (Articulate) data on screen.
App Copy with Claude
Drea Brown · AI Apps
Drea shares a quick tip for app builders: using Claude to generate and iterate on app copy from screenshots. As you edit copy in Claude, it pushes updates back down to the app code, avoiding the “AI slop” default text problem in generated apps.
App Deliveries
Mariel Freyre · Apps Scheduling
Demo of app deliveries via email and Slack. Apps can now be scheduled and delivered as PNG snapshots through the existing delivery dashboard UI. Covers rendering considerations — ~72% of production apps render cleanly; apps with heavy animations or modals may have limitations. The system waits for pages to settle (iframe API calls, query completion, AI summaries) before capturing.
Combined Region Maps
Bernard Sanders · Maps Visualization Apps
Bernard demos a combined region intensity map showing both US states and Canadian provinces together — not possible out of the box in Omni. Walks through the approach (hosting a combined GeoJSON file, potentially on GitHub) and links the published docs guide. Also references how this connects to the new self-hosted maps in apps.
Dark Mode Sheets
Nathan Agrin · Spreadsheets
Quick demo of dark mode rendering improvements for sheets and surrounding chrome (menus, toolbars) that previously rendered incorrectly in dark mode. Also includes a custom spreadsheet built with Claude that features live calculations.
Jev Calculations
Nathan Agrin · AI Calculations Jev
Demo of Jev — a fast, cheap decision-making model — integrated into Omni calcs. Five new calc types are introduced: classify (categorize text), confidence (0–1 score), sentiment (positive/neutral/negative), score (rank against n options), and is (probability text meets criteria). Live demo runs sentiment and classify against 211K Yelp review tokens in real time for about a penny, with results sortable and cacheable. Jev is ~82x faster and an order of magnitude cheaper than Haiku for categorization tasks.
Embedded Apps Demo Overhaul
Yesi Cisneros · Demo Embed
A new template gallery apps: an embedded portal version that lets end customers browse templates, watch an intro video, and copy templates to start editing, and an internal version for the solutions engineering team that auto-updates via a Python script pulling app metadata through APIs. Also covers the save-as URL trick for triggering the copy dialog.
Prompting for Dashboard Reuse
AK McFadden · AI
Demo of prompting context added to a customer’s Blobby instance to encourage reusing existing dashboards, workbooks, and skills before building new ones. Includes proposed-plan prompts with estimated credit costs and user confirmation before proceeding. Still a work in progress (~8 out of 10 reliability). Note: customer environment likely visible on screen.
Web Search Blobby
Christopher Merrick · AI Search
Quick proof-of-life demo of web search rebuilt on an Amazon service, eliminating previous sub-processor issues. The Amazon service keeps data private and uses the same sub-processor as the rest of Omni’s stack. The feature is merged and will default on for everyone, with an option to turn it off in settings.
Public Artifact / Apps
Nathan Agrin · Apps AI Sharing
Often you want to be able to share a quick analysis with anyone (and may even be doing this today in Claude). Some new work to lift the data from a live connection into the document for instant open sharing to anyone.
