BI tools were never built to be app interfaces — they're rigid, clunky, and add complexity to your user experience. Dives offer a different approach: interactive data apps you create with natural language that can be embedded directly into your applications. In this session, Alex Monahan walks through how to build a Dive and embed it in your app, with help from AI agents. You'll learn how to create interactive visualizations with natural language queries, embed Dives into your app with a secure sandbox, set up the auth flow so your users get read-only access without exposing credentials, and choose between server-side and dual execution with DuckDB-Wasm. Whether you're building customer-facing analytics or internal tools, this webinar shows you the full workflow from query to production-ready embed. See how Claude Code + Dives can get you from zero to a working data app fast.
