From Astrophysics to AI: Building the future AI Data Stack — with Sarah Nagy of Seek.ai

Latent Space Podcast Ep. 3: Why AI automating your job is Good Actually

If Text is the Universal Interface, then Text to SQL is perhaps the killer B2B business usecase for Generative AI. You may have seen incredible demos from Perplexity AI, OSS Insights, and CensusGPT where the barrier of learning SQL and schemas goes away and you can intuitively converse with your data in natural language.

But in the multi-billion dollar data engineering industry, Seek.ai has emerged as the forerunner in building a conversational engine and knowledge base that truly democratizes data insights.

We’re proud to present our first remote interview with Sarah Nagy to learn how AI can help you “seek what matters”!
