ThoughtSpot, the AI-native Intelligence Platform, has unveiled Analyst Studio, a revolutionary creator space designed to empower data teams. This innovative solution enables seamless data preparation for AI and analytics, optimized cloud cost management, effortless switching between ad-hoc analysis and advanced data science, and a focus on strategic impact—all within a single, unified platform. Now generally available as an add-on for ThoughtSpot Cloud customers using ThoughtSpot Analytics or ThoughtSpot Embedded, Analyst Studio is also accessible to new customers.
Analyst Studio is meticulously designed to enhance the productivity of data analysts and drive strategic outcomes across organizations. Addressing critical challenges such as prolonged time-to-value, fragmented data silos, high analytics costs, and limited technical capabilities in SQL, Python, and R, Analyst Studio transforms data analysts into strategic enablers of business success. By adding a creator space to ThoughtSpot’s existing platform, customers gain access to a complete intelligence suite. This includes Liveboards, which offer an interactive, real-time view of data, and Spotter, an agentic AI analyst that provides analytical and reasoning capabilities to users.
In today’s AI-driven era, the role of the analyst has transcended data preparation and dashboard creation to become central to business operations. While AI empowers business users to derive insights, the foundation—accuracy, relevance, and integrity of AI-driven data—hinges on the expertise of data analysts and analytics engineers. These professionals ensure organizations can trust insights, scale decisions, and accelerate progress. Analyst Studio equips data teams to amplify their organizational impact by enabling others to act on their curated data assets. Simultaneously, it allows analysts to concentrate on strategic decision-making, data science, and advanced analytics that drive business outcomes.
“Self-service analytics has always been a pipe dream. Analyst Studio has finally made it a reality,” said Kishore Narahari, Engineering Manager at Lyft.
