Sigma on Sigma: The Missing Ingredient to Improve Customer Support

Search and AI are well-established technologies that bring real value to our everyday lives. Technologies like Google search and ChatGPT are testaments to the ingenuity of humans. They help find answers to almost any question but are miserable regarding your own data.

These technologies are fundamentally rooted in the fact that they need to be trained, just like if you were to learn piano or run a marathon. They work great for public domain information on the Internet, but training algorithms to work on your company’s private data is time-consuming, expensive, and requires expertise. This is why ThoughtSpot’s promise of search and AI is flat-out flawed. This is also why ThoughtSpot doesn’t use natural language search.

A true, self-service analytics tool enables you to build interactive dashboards and reports, perform ad hoc analysis, and collaborate with your team in real-time, all within a single platform. 

In this webinar, data experts will showcase the following:

- Key differences between Sigma and ThoughtSpot
- Demonstration on how to easily collaborate to build workbooks and dashboards within the platform
