What MyDataWork holds about your estate, what it never holds, and why structure answers the questions your data can’t. “We only read metadata” reads as either reassuring or limiting, depending on where you stand. It’s good news if you’re trying to adopt something new without waiting weeks to clear a security review. It can sound like bad news if “only metadata” makes you anticipate a thinner product than desired. For the questions MyDataWork exists to

Inflation. Weather. Employment. Energy prices. Who lives in the trade area, and how that changed. The context your forecasts are missing is published, current, and free — and most teams never get to it. Not because it wouldn’t help, but because working out which source fits, before you commit to building anything, takes an afternoon nobody has. External Data — two minutes, using the demo data that ships with every account. The data is good.

A dozen tools, and no single picture If you lead a data and analytics team — say a dozen analysts — you already know the shape

Everyone is racing to give AI agents more autonomy. The hard part isn’t wiring an agent to tools — it’s deciding which agentic use case is worth building, which systems it needs, and what guardrails keep it safe.
