Summary
Every business wants to be a data-driven business these days; basing decisions on tangible facts derived from historical precedents and clear-cut numbers. But that’s a lot easier said than done. This episode’s guest, Amit Prakash , is on a mission to change that. Based on his experience working on Microsoft’s Bing and then at Google working on Google Brain , he co-founded Thoughtspot to make querying data as easy as having a simple conversation. Thoughtspot provides artificial intelligence (AI) and search-driven analytics. The Sunnyvale, California-based company reached unicorn status in 2019, its latest valuation is $4.2B, and counts Nike, Walmart, and Apple among its clients . Amit shares the story behind building the massive search system, his views on relational search, and how to teach a machine what a user thinks is most interesting.
