Alex Monahan and Matt Martin, co-authors of O'Reilly's DuckLake: The Definitive Guide, walk through how to make DuckLake queries faster: finding the bottleneck, partitioning and sorting so queries skip files and row groups, tuning Parquet settings together, and keeping the catalog lean.

MotherDuck's new prompt_jev() function runs text classification directly from SQL using Jev, a decision-focused model from typesafe.ai. In a live demo, Jacob Matson, Dumky de Wilde, and Hamilton Ulmer showed it filtering, disambiguating, and re-ranking real data without leaving SQL. The number they kept coming back to: 100,000 rows classified at 89% accuracy in 40 seconds, compared to 32 minutes and $37.58 for a comparable LLM call.

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.
