260+ hours

“Algolia saved 260+ hours by building apps to answer recurring questions”

What happened

Algolia's sales and marketing data analysts built interactive Hex data apps to replace repeated ad hoc requests. Marketing uses one to test lead scoring scenarios, and sales leadership uses another to see what drove pipeline changes over any date range. The Notebook Agent also helped fix syntax errors after a data warehouse migration.

Investigating pipeline changes was a recurring exercise, so I built a Hex app to solve the problem once, permanently.
