The XR Guild is a 501(c)3 nonprofit made of professionals working in Spatial Computing (including XR, AI, and the Metaverse).

Our mission is to provide resources, organization, mentorship, and a common set of ethical principles to help all achieve the most ethical outcomes.

We are 100% volunteer run, and do the work of building towards the mission, accepting and respecting anyone who feels aligned with our principles.

Advances in LLM technology and the semantic layer have made AI-powered data analytics easy. Nothing special. Par for the course.

Wait, you haven't seen yet? Don't worry, we'll show you. But I gotta warn you, it's pretty boring stuff. You just ask for whatever data you want, and then the computer gets it for you. Yes, seriously!

So what is still impressive in October 2023? Well, good old fashioned human ingenuity and improvisational skill. Computers may have gotten pretty good at crunching the numbers, but you still can't replace good old fashioned meat and bone when it comes time to present those numbers to the big boss.

In this session, Izzy Miller and Matt David put that to the test with a live game of Dashboard Karaoke— with an AI twist. Random audience members take turns using Hex's Magic AI to generate entire analytical reports on datasets of their choosing. Then, our handpicked data practitioners have to improvise a compelling presentation of the results on the spot, explaining the intricacies and trends of data they've never seen. And of course, there will be plenty of time for audience questions ;)

Speakers: Izzy Miller, Developer Advocate, Hex; Matt David, Product Marketing Lead, Hex
