Let us know your thoughts at [support@omni.co](mailto:support@omni.co). ## DBT Cloud Integration *`RG Huckins · dbt Dashboards`* New dbt Cloud integration in Omni with dynamic client registration, a dbt health popover showing pipeline status, test coverage, and source freshness, plus exposure syncing between Omni and dbt projects. [https://www.youtube.com/embed/sBXBK2shuuo](https://www.youtube.com/embed/sBXBK2shuuo) ## Omni Add-on for Excel *`Todd Kita · Excel`* Native Excel connection to Omni via XMLA server with no add-in required. Build pivot tables, slicers, formatted reports, and VLOOKUPs with external data, all hitting Omni's semantic layer. Also compatible with Tableau and Power BI. [https://www.youtube.com/embed/1FTFb\_MKsFY](https://www.youtube.com/embed/1FTFb_MKsFY) ## Your Old BI Archive *`Drea Brown · Legacy Backups`* Project Deep Freeze progress — importing Tableau workbooks with blueprints, controls, worksheets, and SQL, plus MicroStrategy classic view with PDFs, charts, engine steps, and crosstab previews. Seeking more archive instances for Power BI, Domo, and Hex. [https://www.youtube.com/embed/HhFdrXmXJdw](https://www.youtube.com/embed/HhFdrXmXJdw) ## App Explain Button *`Alisa Tatarinova · Apps AI`* New explain button in the app inspector that shows where selected data comes from and lets you ask a follow-up question directly in chat with Blobby. Can explain any selected value or section in an app. [https://www.youtube.com/embed/yKCPLlwP-UM](https://www.youtube.com/embed/yKCPLlwP-UM) ## App Controls *`Alisa Tatarinova · Apps AI`* Bringing filters to apps as "controls" — a broader concept that includes filters and more. Shows adding a date filter control to an app via Blobby using the suggestions endpoint with permissions and roles, and filtering by value (e.g., Alabama). [https://www.youtube.com/embed/FomDQnFc8H0](https://www.youtube.com/embed/FomDQnFc8H0) ## App Drag-and-Drop *`Jared Hardy · Apps AI`* Prototype for drag-and-drop reordering and styling in apps — reorder elements, use keyboard shortcuts, and move things around the page without needing to ask Blobby, bringing dashboard-like flexibility to apps. [https://www.youtube.com/embed/NXBuzUmSmIE](https://www.youtube.com/embed/NXBuzUmSmIE) ## App Annotation and Explain *`Jared Hardy · Apps AI`* Bringing the circle-select Explain behavior from dashboards into app view mode. Select any element, see what it is, and send it to Blobby for follow-up — leveraging the same infrastructure as dashboard Explain. [https://www.youtube.com/embed/dfjXnrzbddA](https://www.youtube.com/embed/dfjXnrzbddA) ## Optional Context *`Gustav Staprans · AI`* External context in Omni can now be marked as "always" or "optional." Optional context saves tokens by only loading when the LLM determines it's needed. Demo of organization-level and personal optional context with on-demand reading. [https://www.youtube.com/embed/fD0CdTi9HgM](https://www.youtube.com/embed/fD0CdTi9HgM) ## File Upload in Blobby *`Gustav Staprans · AI`* Sanding down a rough edge — you can now drop files anywhere in the Blobby chat, including over the split view area when a document is open. UI updated for clearer upload zones. [https://www.youtube.com/embed/d4Q-34xLE6Y](https://www.youtube.com/embed/d4Q-34xLE6Y) ## App Hype Videos *`Yesi Cisneros · Apps Use Cases Fun`* A skill that layers an intro video on top of an existing app to explain, highlight, or walk through a product. Run it with a tagline and app selection. Shows examples with a slide deck app, a New York Times app, and a game app. [https://www.youtube.com/embed/rSHDta\_m0dA](https://www.youtube.com/embed/rSHDta_m0dA) ## Data Dictionary App *`Castor Estrada · Data Dictionary Modeling`* A data dictionary app built in Omni that sources definitions from the semantic layer. Browse fields by connection and model, see alignment statuses (documented, needs documentation, context dependent), explore an ERD viewer by topic and view, and propose changes through a review queue with approve/reject workflow. [https://www.youtube.com/embed/3gLi8kK\_7T0](https://www.youtube.com/embed/3gLi8kK_7T0) ## App Data Exfiltration Security Checks *`Dan Mosora · Apps Security Administration`* Early prototype for monitoring and blocking network requests in apps. A network sidebar detects flagged requests, blocks suspicious posts, and lets you configure safe domains based on actual app traffic. Tied to the external sources policy. [https://www.youtube.com/embed/PtEugs3dEAg](https://www.youtube.com/embed/PtEugs3dEAg) ## Skills Management *`Ben Horne · Skills AI`* Bulk skill management in Omni — turn off shared skills via Blobby to reduce noise, filter the type-ahead to show only your own skills, and manage visibility in bulk instead of page by page. [https://www.youtube.com/embed/KLTR1Xgju4Y](https://www.youtube.com/embed/KLTR1Xgju4Y) ## Image Verification in MCP *`Ben Horne · AI MCP`* Image verification in the MCP world — Blobby edits a dashboard, takes screenshots at both chart and full-dashboard level, and visually verifies the changes. MCP also stores images locally so Claude can dig in further for visual checks. [https://www.youtube.com/embed/aEnoBpFN1Cs](https://www.youtube.com/embed/aEnoBpFN1Cs) ## Docs AI Assistant *`Ben Horne · AI Docs`* Replacing the AI assistant on the docs website with a cheaper alternative. Side-by-side comparison showing the current assistant (\~25¢/prompt) vs. the Homeworld version (\~0.1–0.5¢/prompt) returning similar results at a fraction of the cost. [https://www.youtube.com/embed/AKjrQOBMAKU](https://www.youtube.com/embed/AKjrQOBMAKU) ## Starship OS *`Drea Brown · Use Cases`* A personal agent system themed around Star Trek TNG. "Good morning computer" triggers a daily briefing with meetings, notes, and to-dos. A crew of agents (O'Brien, Deanna Troy, Geordie, Ryker) handles notes, feature requests, demo building, and engagement checks. A bridge dashboard tracks partners, accounts, and tasks, with session wrapping for context continuity. [https://www.youtube.com/embed/mt-bNCpgkuo](https://www.youtube.com/embed/mt-bNCpgkuo) ## AI Evals Improvements *`Stephanie Jarmak · AI Evals`* Updates to AI evals including judge upgrades with granular rubric criteria based on failure taxonomies, synthetic business worlds for controlled experiments, eval runs migrated into Snowflake and the Omni instance, and an agent (Pip) that connects to Omni to produce eval apps. [https://www.youtube.com/embed/tb0txDVsdNk](https://www.youtube.com/embed/tb0txDVsdNk) ## Git Webhook Debug *`Conrad Slimmer · Git Modeling Administration`* Live webhook log now in the product for Git integration troubleshooting. Filter by status, investigate webhook handling without ETL lag, and enable customer self-service debugging. Structured log records are written to the DB and ETL'd to the analytics DB for Omni queries. [https://www.youtube.com/embed/jBvHlFNNqi8](https://www.youtube.com/embed/jBvHlFNNqi8) ## Semantic Tools and Connectors *`Christopher Merrick · API Modeling Action`* A new framework for linking topics to APIs and external tool calls to allow for action, writeback, and real-time data calls outside the data warehouse. Lots of experimenting here, but would love thoughts on where to extend this framework.
