Sept 2025 Shipping Themes

• BigQuery + Auth
• Analyst AI/Business Answers
• UX polish

Integrations & Auth

We've doubled down on Google BigQuery support and simplified authentication:

• BigQuery OAuth: Improved OAuth support and better defaults for a seamless connection experience.
• Nested Data: Significantly better display for BigQuery nested/RECORD types.
• Validation: Multiple fixes for BigQuery query validation.
• WorkOS Migration: Ongoing migration to WorkOS for robust authentication and stability fixes.

Analyst AI & Query Generation

Empowering analysts to generate better queries faster:

• Parameterized Queries: Analyst queries can now be fully parameterized.
• Assistant UI: A new Analyst AI assistant interface that supports “general + schema” questions.
• Quality Control: Improved controls for judging and rewriting generated queries.

Collaboration & Admin

• Better handling for closed threads.
• Real-time progress updates for replies.
• Improved notification counting for archived threads.
• Org-admin visibility into threads they’re not a member of.

Product UX

We've polished the experience across the board:

• Multiple UI polish items across tabs and version history.
• Results table usability improvements (handling large number columns, resize stability).
• Cleaner styling for Cards and simpler empty states.
