AI Agents for Business Analytics

Text-to-SQL benchmarks top out around 78% accuracy — not good enough when business decisions depend on the answer. Ryan Boyd walks through what it takes to close that gap and make LLM-powered analytics actually reliable. Covers the failure modes that trip up AI agents on real business data, the metadata and schema patterns that improve accuracy, and how MotherDuck approaches the problem differently.

The MCP Sessions - Vol 1: Sports Analytics

The first MCP Sessions — a live format where two people explore a dataset using the MotherDuck MCP server with no slides or prep. Volume 1 focuses on sports data: player stats, team comparisons, historical trends, and whatever questions come up in the moment. Natural language queries go in, SQL runs on MotherDuck, and the conversation follows wherever the data leads.

Workshop: Build a Serverless Lakehouse with DuckLake

Hands-on workshop where you build a serverless lakehouse from scratch using DuckLake. Covers setting up DuckLake on MotherDuck, ingesting data, running analytical queries, and understanding how DuckLake handles metadata and storage differently from traditional lakehouse formats like Iceberg and Delta Lake. You write the queries and follow along — not a demo you watch.
