A data team looks to grow by 33% by making their biggest hire to date: an AI Powered Chatbot. The biggest problem for this two person team: they don’t know where to start.

Join Airbyte on the journey from first Google search through procurement to implementation as they try to figure out if they can make an AI chatbot work for answering all of our companies questions.

They're (most likely) just like you: they know that they needed to do something with AI but weren't sure where or how to start. In this presentation, the Airbyte team talks through the process of trying to figure out how to use AI to make their team more efficient and have a wider reach in a rapidly growing, fully remote organization.

Lauren Benezra has been volunteering with a local cat rescue since 2018. She recently took on the challenge of rebuilding their data stack from scratch, replacing a Jenga tower of incomprehensible Google Sheets with a more reliable system backed by the Modern Data Stack. By using Airtable, Airbyte, BigQuery, dbt Cloud and Census, her role as Foster Coordinator has transformed: instead of digging for buried information while wrangling cats, she now serves up accurate data with ease while... well... wrangling cats.

Viewers will learn that it's possible to run an extremely scalable and reliable stack on a shoestring budget, and will come away with actionable steps to put Lauren's hard-won lessons into practice in their own volunteering projects or as the first data hire in a tiny startup.
